Which Universities in Poland have good programs where I can earn a bachelors degree in mechanical engineering? Polytechnika Warszawska has every engineering degree besides mechanical from what I can see... Any others anyone know about? AGH?

My final goal is to try and get my masters in Automotive Design in Germany (Aachen University most likely). I could get my bachelors there but I don't know anyone Germany and I have family and friends all over Poland (not to mention i speak it).

It would make sense though to study cars in Germany... what do you guys think?

I am about to finish my master from Polytechnika Warszawska they rank it number one, but to be honest; I had my bachelor degree in mechanical engineering from Egypt, and I think that it's equivalent to masters degree in Poland.

There is Faculty of Mechanical Engineering on Wroclaw University of Technology:
http://www.portal.pwr.wroc.pl/345888,242.dhtml?s=346079
material in English:
http://www.wm.pwr.wroc.pl/files/prv/id9/przewodnik_angielski.pdf

Among technical universities it is ranked second in Poland, though I don't know how this specific faculty is ranked.

PS. there are Mechanical Engineering faculties on Warsaw University of Technology, but on different names and/or specialized in some field so for example there are:

Wrocław would be your best bet. Great school, and a MUCH better place to live and study than Warsaw (I live in Wrocław).

The big problem with instruction in any technical field in Poland is an almost complete lack of practical or laboratory courses (they are too expensive for Polish University budgets). Instruction will be very high on theory, and short on hands-on experience, especially for undergrads. Laboratory equipment is also hopelessly outdated, and you will have to fight to use it because there is far too little to go around. I teach a lot of engineers from Politechnika Wrocławska, and this is their main gripe.

I also studied industrial microbiology in Germany and Denmark, where the laboratories are well equipped and cutting edge, and university departments have real budgets with real money. I cannot even imagine doing the sort of work I did in those countries at a Polish university, where the laboratories are equipped with museum pieces, with access jealously guarded by professors who are far from generous, and, quite honestly, have little to be generous with.

Best bet is to study in Germany, even if it takes you two years to build up basic fluency in the language. When you finish, you'll be far ahead of Polish educated engineers, especially in terms of hands-on experience.

I'm so sorry to join this thread so late, perhaps too late for the OP. OP was completely wrong. Here are the faculties in Politechnika Warszawska with mechanical engineering degrees:

1. Wydział Samochodów i Maszyn Roboczych (SiMR) = Automotive Design <-- leading in Poland
2. Wydział Mechaniczny Energetyki i Lotnictwa (MEiL) = Mechanical Engineering for Power & Aviation <-- leading in Poland in its disciplines such as piping design and of course aviation technology
3. Wydział Mechatroniki - Mechatronics (formerly Precision Mechanical Faculty) <-- leading in Poland
4. Wydział Inżynierii Produkcji - Production Engineering (formerly Mechanical Technology Faculty)

It's a pity nobody answered that at the right time.

Very true! and about the professors in polish universities.. omg, they are fully taken by the communist mentality
