The Silesian University of Technology has signed an agreement with Astor for the support of a new field of study – Automation and Industrial Robotics. The cooperation agreement was signed by the rector of the university, Prof. Eng. Arkadiusz Mężyk and Stefan Życzkowski, president of Astor.

The cooperation will include students’ internships and apprenticeships, providing job offers, as well as developing diploma theses, Project Based Learning or projects of student research clubs.

– We try to select such patrons who provide substantive technological knowledge. Today, the education of future engineers focuses on good theoretical foundations, soft skills and the ability to learn. Internships in industry-leading companies, such as Astor, give students the opportunity to gain specialization, – says the rector of the Silesian University of Technology.
