Your 6 years of work history should decide this more than any general ranking. Mechatronics and Manufacturing or Production Engineering both become the stronger pick if your background sits closer to machine design or plant operations than to automation and controls.

Why Automation and Robotics Tops the List

  • Government demand signal: Poland's 2026 national workforce forecast specifically flags automation, mechatronics and robotics occupations.
  • Experience advantage: 6 years is enough to position you for integration, controls or project roles rather than entry-level positions.
  • English-taught access: Warsaw University of Technology's Robotics and Automatic Control masters is delivered in English.

What Warsaw University of Technology's Curriculum Covers

The Robotics and Automatic Control masters typically combines core modules in control theory, robotics and industrial automation with laboratory work on real PLC and robotics hardware, often supported by partnerships with Polish automotive and manufacturing firms expanding their automation lines. AGH University of Krakow runs a genuinely comparable second Polish option in automatics and robotics, worth shortlisting alongside Warsaw if you want a slightly different regional industry base. Checking each programme's specific laboratory and industry-partner list, rather than the university's overall ranking, is the concrete step that should narrow your final two applications.

My Advice

Do not jump into an unrelated field like AI purely because it looks trendy; with 6 years of mechanical experience, a specialisation that extends your existing background will read as a far stronger career story to Polish employers. Check each university's specific second-cycle entry requirements, since they differ even between closely related programmes.
