Graduation ceremony of the first year in the unique E3 programme

The first students to be in the second-cycle degree programme in Energy and Environmental Engineering (E3) have just graduated. E3 is a unique field of study provided jointly by the AGH University and a Japanese higher education institution, the Shibaura Institute of Technology, concluded with a double diploma. Six people received their diplomas during the latest SIT Graduation Ceremony on 18 March in Tokio. Dr Monika Motak, associate professor at the AGH University, Dean of the Faculty of Energy and Fuels, awarded the diplomas on behalf of the AGH University.

The joint full-time second-cycle degree programme in Energy & Environmental Engineering (E3) has been possible due to the long-term cooperation between the AGH University and the Shibaura Institute of Technology. The programme has been developed under the supervision of Professor Janusz Szmyd and Professor Akito Takasaki. It is conducted in English, meeting the growing demand for staff in the sectors of international industry related to energy and environmental protection. The E3 programme is in line with the strategy for the internationalisation of education implemented at the AGH University and the actions taken within the “Excellence Initiative – Research university” project. It is also something new and attractive in education, as studying is carried out under the double degree system, meaning that the person defending their diploma thesis will obtain a Master's degree from two universities, which distinguishes this field from other ones offered across the country.

There were more than a dozen of students in the class year that has just graduated. Some of them will receive their diplomas on 8 May at the AGH University, during celebrations related to the 20th anniversary of cooperation with the SIT.
