Double-Degree programme with Bremen

The Faculty of Mechanical and Shipbuilding Engineering offers an international multiple-qualification Master's program in collaboration with the Hochschule Bremen (HSB Germany). The study programs are conducted in English and are dedicated to both Polish and foreign candidates. The requirements to be met by the candidate are described in the individual programs.

The offered program is a two-year, interdisciplinary joint study, during which students carry out annual mobility financed by the Erasmus + program. Importantly, program students do not pay fees for studying at a partner university, and graduates receive 2 diplomas at the same time - a diploma from Gdańsk University of Technology and a diploma from a partner university, depending on the chosen path of education.
