Graduate profile and further learning opportunities:

In the field of Transport, we educate highly qualified engineering professionals responsible for planning, designing, managing, and maintaining transportation systems.

The primary goal of the second-cycle studies in Transport is to develop the ability to independently formulate methods and processes for solving problems, utilizing the knowledge acquired at the engineering level, enhanced by additional practical and theoretical aspects. To achieve this, second-cycle students participate in numerous courses that focus on working with specialized software, which are widely used tools for supporting the design, analysis of transportation issues, and the development of solutions.
A second-cycle student in the Transport program deepens their knowledge in the organization, design, and implementation of modern methods and tools for systemic transport management. Upon completing the studies, the graduate possesses the competencies necessary for creative and effective work in managing enterprises, leading teams, and in the organization, design, execution, and operation of transport infrastructure, using modern IT and telecommunications tools.
The graduate has the ability to think creatively and possesses professional and scientific knowledge essential in the contemporary job market, as well as in scientific research related to the organization and design of systems, processes, and technologies for road, rail, air, water, and intermodal transport, as well as logistics.
Within the selected specialization, the graduate acquires knowledge and skills in the following areas:

Specialization: Planning and Managing Transport System Development:

• Planning the sustainable development of transport and mobility,

• Planning transport networks, developing strategies for growth and problem-solving in transport, managing mobility and safety, and developing improvement programs,

• Forecasting the development of transport systems and processes considering their dynamics, needs, and changes in user behavior,

• Modeling, simulating, designing, and operating infrastructure elements for road, rail, and water transport, both for passenger and freight services, at micro, meso, and macro levels,

• Evaluating transport solutions, considering their capacity, impact on safety and the environment, economic and financial efficiency, and feasibility.

Specialization: Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS):

• Designing, implementing, operating, and developing ITS services on highways, expressways, and in urban areas,

• Managing road traffic using ITS services (including individual and public transport),

• Designing and optimizing dynamic, adaptive traffic signal programs and control strategies,

• Identifying the utility and application of teleinformatics and telematics in traffic management, considering the technical requirements of devices,

• Modeling ITS services and working with specialized simulation software used for evaluating the effectiveness and safety of traffic management methods and supporting decision-making processes.

Specialization: Railway Traffic Control and Organization:

• Advanced knowledge of railway traffic engineering, transport organization, and the design of control systems, traction, and rail vehicles,

• Understanding the legal framework for railway transport organization in Poland,

• Knowledge of passenger and freight railway transport organization, including simulation principles and timetable development,

• Modeling automated solutions in logistics (autonomous AGV vehicles, industrial robots).

Specialization: Management of Railway Infrastructure:

• Planning and designing railway infrastructure (linear and point-based),

• Planning and organizing railway works during construction and maintenance,

• Technological-organizational design of railway works using specialized software,

• Methods for managing railway infrastructure and in-depth analysis of track conditions.

Specialization: Management of Road and Airport Infrastructure:

• Measurement methods and equipment used in the modern diagnostics of road infrastructure,

• Methods for managing road infrastructure and the use of diagnostic research results in planning maintenance strategies,

• Technological design and selection of optimal solutions for the construction and maintenance of road and airport surfaces,

• Planning airport infrastructure elements.

Specialization: Water Transport:

• Engineering and organization of water transport within a systemic framework,

• Organization of passenger and freight water transport,

• Planning, designing, and organizing maintenance/modernization works for hydraulic structures,

• Evaluating transport solutions considering the carrying capacity, impact on safety and the environment in water transport.

Graduates possess the ability to use specialized language related to their field of study. They are prepared to manage their own business in the transport sector. They are also equipped to lead teams and manage implementation and operational facilities in transport. Graduates are aware of the need to continuously enhance their professional and personal competencies and to act in accordance with ethical principles.
