Master's Degree in Nanotechnology/Biomedical Engineering After Robotics at Silesian Uni of Tech

Hello. From October I will study Automation and Robotics at the Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice. When I finish this field of study, I would like to do my master's degree from a completely different direction. I am thinking of nanotechnology or biomedical engineering. And here's my question. Can I study a different field of study at second-cycle studies than at first-cycle studies? Will the software differences be too great?
Thanks in advance for your answer.

best regards

Then ask at the dean's office of the university where you want to do second-cycle studies, because here it is reading tea leaves.

You can study in a different field. Second-cycle studies begin with an entrance examination that must be passed (material from Ist, but from the faculty you are enrolling in is obligatory). From his score and the average score for Ist. it will depend on whether you get in (you know - the number of applicants)

As for the differences, they can be very large even in the same direction. It depends on the choice of a specific specialty.

It depends on which faculty you start studying Automation and Robotics. I personally studied this faculty at MT at the Silesian University of Technology, not so long ago. If you change your field of study at the second degree to the same faculty, the curriculum differences will not be too large, but when you change the faculty, it may turn out that there will be a problem with it. If you choose a department, these are the main subjects in each of the departments, where you will have these subjects, regardless of the field of study.

Summing up, the change of direction while remaining at the same faculty should not raise major curricular differences (if at all), although I know that a bit has changed in the last 2 years. Of course, you can find out the details in the dean's office.

You can study another field. This is one of the tenets of the Bologna System.

It depends. This year, my faculty has 8 dean's groups. When I went to college, there were 15 of them. Now we have problems with obtaining teaching hours. The exams will soon disappear completely, because universities have to make a living and they will accept everyone. Unless Gowin changes the university's funding system.

Again, it depends where. Nanotechnology is perceived slightly differently at each university. At Lodz University of Technology it is a physicochemical approach. AT other universities it is more of a physical field. After all, no matter what to do, the lion's share of nanotechnology is heavy chemistry and heavy physics. People go to nano and suddenly they collide with the reality that in this direction you do not sit in a laboratory and work on equipment for 20 million, and you pour aerosil for rubber or titanium oxide for detergent. And the master's thesis consists in washing the glass surface with a liquid with nanoparticles.

The exams will be completely gone soon

I hope it won't, because the level of their graduates will drop even further. Here you have to reduce the number of students, not increase it.

You do not have to tell me that. But what can you do if, when I kick an idiot out of electrical engineering for not knowing Ohm's Law, I get OPR for being too harsh. That if I don't count her, I'll have to struggle with her for another year. Kit, I can get tired, but she has to know the basics of electronics after this class. Because if you let her go by giving 3 -----, she will download it during the exam and move on. I let one girl go, although no one would tell me, if I put 2 on, what? During the exam, I took her cheat sheets. I took them on 3 dates. From now on, I won't let anyone go if they don't have the basics mastered. But that's what I do. Colleagues who have studied at PW, AGH, WAT, basically let everyone go. Later, we wonder why such dummies end the polybuda. Because if someone who has an engineer does not know how to read a technical drawing or flowcharts, he is a jerk.
