The main objective of the Faculty is to educate professional engineers and managers, fluent in foreign

languages, able to apply their knowledge in science, engineering, technology and business.

At present, there are over 1000 students at the faculty. The students have the opportunity to obtain

double diplomas, one from TUL and the other from a partner university in France, Holland, Great

Britain, Denmark and other European countries. TUL is the leader of student exchange.

INTERNATIONAL FACULTY OF ENGINEERING


IFE offers also Problem Based Learning team projects. PBL is a student-centred pedagogical method

in which students gain competences in given academic fields through solving particular problems.

Comparing to traditional educational model, PBL allows students to work in a more independent and

innovative way.

The projects take place in 4th semesters of all IFE’s programmes. The students are divided in 4-5

people groups and work under supervision of academic teachers assigned to each of the group.

The PBL projects are also available for exchange students.

INTERNATIONAL FACULTY OF ENGINEERING


INTERNATIONAL DOCTORAL SCHOOL TUL is committed to internationalization of research and education at the Ph.D. level.

The International Doctoral School (IDS) operating at TUL’s faculties offers doctoral programmes in
