What Wydział Inżynierii Lądowej Politechniki Warszawskiej does

Wydział Inżynierii Lądowej Politechniki Warszawskiej (the Faculty of Civil Engineering at Warsaw University of Technology) is a public university faculty founded in 1915 as one of the four original faculties of the Warsaw University of Technology. Headquartered at Al. Armii Ludowej 16 in Warsaw, Poland, it operates as the top-ranked civil engineering program in Poland per the Ranking Szkół Wyższych, with over 150 teaching and research staff organized into two institutes — Instytut Dróg i Mostów (roads and bridges) and Instytut Inżynierii Budowlanej (building engineering). The faculty offers degree programs across the full Polish higher-education stack: integrated master's (five-year), first-cycle bachelor's (three-year) with specializations in Sustainable Construction, Railway Engineering, Communication Engineering, Construction Production Engineering, and Building/Engineering Structures; second-cycle master's in Polish and English; doctoral studies through the Szkoła Doktorska PW; and fee-based postgraduate studies. Internationalization is a structural feature, anchored by a double-degree master's program with École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées (ENPC) ParisTech and Erasmus+ agreements with technical universities across EU member states plus the USA, Japan, UK, Australia, South Africa, and China.

Revenue model

1. Tuition Fees - Non-Stationary (Part-Time) Studies: The faculty charges tuition for non-stationary (niestacjonarne) programs at levels I and II (engineering and master's), which are fee-based. Stationary (full-time) studies are tuition-free as public university programs. Revenue is derived from student tuition payments for part-time and postgraduate programs.
2. Expert and Consulting Services: Faculty experts provide opinions, expert assessments, and technical studies for both private entities and public institutions including courts (sądy) and local government units (jednostki samorządowe). Services are rendered across all construction-related topics and related fields such as energy, electrical, and sanitary engineering, leveraging the faculty's laboratory facilities.
3. Research Project Funding (NCN, NCBiR, EU): Research is primarily financed from public science funds. The faculty participates in European projects, National Science Centre (NCN) projects, and National Centre for Research and Development (NCBiR) projects. EU-funded infrastructure and didactic projects supplement research capabilities.
4. Postgraduate Studies: The faculty offers postgraduate studies (studia podyplomowe), which are fee-based continuing education programs for professionals seeking specialized knowledge.
