Description

Present energy systems must fulfill the sustainability principle. We should not adversely affect environment and economy prospects of our and future generations. To solve these contradictory aims we need knowledge in various fields which are involved in the analysis of energy systems development.

The course of sustainable energy development has two balanced groups of subjects. The first one is focused on energy technologies. Subjects studied are physics and chemistry of energy, contemporary energy technologies with priority on renewable technologies. The second group refers to energy planning and forecasting processes with subjects: management, economics, auditing, planning and forecasting. The teaching is concentrated on providing practical knowledge, thus classes, laboratories and projects dominate.

Our aim is to give the students ability to analyze and optimize plans of energy systems development. The selection of energy carriers and technologies with regard to economic, environmental and technological issues is the base of building harmonized development plans. The competence and knowledge of graduates constitute a firm base for their contribution in energy systems development.

AGH University of Science and Technology's Mission Statement

AGH-UST, established on 20th October 1919, until 1949 known as the Academy of Mining, founded after long-lasting endeavours which had started in 1782, the year when the Ore Commission was established, has been continuing the traditions of the Academy of Mining in Kielce (1816-1827), inaugurated by StanisBaw Staszic. The University, being a technical school, serves the science and industry through educating students, the development of academic staff, as well as research and development. The University cherishes its traditions and educates its students to be honest and responsible people both at work, and as members of the society, according to its motto: "Labore creata, labori et scientiae servio" (Created in labour, I serve labour and science.)
