Poznań University of Technology,PUT (Polish:Politechnika Poznańska) is a university inPoznań, Poland.[3] Poznań University of Technology is known as one of the besttechnical universities in Poland.URAP ranked PUT among the top 6% of world universities andWebometrics ranked it at no. 842 in the world by Google citations for the year 2015. In 1995, it became the firstPolish university to become a member of theConference of European Schools for Advanced Engineering Education and Research (CESAER), an organization comprising the best technical universities in Europe. The university is also a member of theSocrates-Erasmus programme forexchange students from all over Europe, promoting advanced engineering and a European dimension. The university is home to many organizations and student circles, and the radio station Afera 98.6 MHz. The university has over 21,000 students and over 1,100 academic staff.
There are nine faculties (since 2020):
Poznan University of Technology (PUT) was officially founded in 1955 and the firstrector was Roman Kozak. But a state school had existed inPoznań since 1919, named the Higher State School of Machinery. After adding a second department in 1929, its name was changed to the Higher State School of Machinery and Electrotechnics. It was supposed to become the University of Technology in 1940, but its development was interrupted byWorld War II. In 1945 the school received the status of Higher Engineering School and in 1955 it became the University of Technology.
In 1999 PUT celebrated the 80th anniversary of the higher educational technical system in Poznan. It continues traditions of the State Higher School of Mechanical Engineering, which was opened in August 1919. The school remained open at the outbreak of the Second World War, during which time 716 graduates had completed their studies there. It was allocated in a building nowadays situated atMarie Skłodowska-Curie Square, today the Rector's Office. In 1929, the school changed its name to the State Higher School of Mechanical andElectrical Engineering. As a result of further development, the Higher School was to be given the status of a university in 1940. Unfortunately, this did not occur during the war period. In September 1945, the school received the title High School of Engineering and after ten years became Poznan University of Technology.
PUT is at present autonomous state institution consisting of nine faculties in which institutes and chairs over one thousand academic staff members do research and run educational tasks for over fourteen thousand students of full -time and part-time studies. PUT has been granted the right to confer doctorates in technical science. Moreover, it runspostgraduate studies within different faculties.
In 1995 PUT, as the first Polish University of Technology, became a member of theConference of European Schools for Advanced Engineering Education and Research – CESAER-bringing together the best European Engineering Colleges and Universities of Technology. In 1999 PUT was the host organization of the IX CESAER Conference.
In the academic year 1999 / 2000European Credit Transfer System –ECTS-was introduced at the PUT.
From the academic year 2006/2007, Poznan University of Technology also conducts its existing doctoral studies as third-cycle studies.[4]
Students from the Faculty ofComputer Science started few times in CSIDC computer systems projecting world championships organised byInstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Computer Society and ImagineCup (Microsoft). Four different teams in 2001–2006 managed by Doctor of Engineering Jan Kniat were three-time world champions. Many graduates from Computer science and Management faculty work in Microsoft corporation inRedmond, Washington, US. PUT is a member ofCESAER Association and was the first Polish technical university to receive membership of that organisation.
