DOUBLE DIPLOMA
Education is conducted jointly by both Parties in the field of construction and environmental engineering within the areas: construction, environmental engineering SGGW, as well as construction and water management (NUWGP).
The training is conducted according to a joint educational program approved by the councils of the faculties/institutes of both universities.
The approved curriculum by the councils of the faculty/institute must enable the student to achieve all learning outcomes for the respective field of study, which are approved by the Senate of SGGW and the Academic Council of NULES.
The number of ECTS credits and the learning outcomes achieved by the student within the joint educational program must meet the requirements for master's programs at each university. The annual number of participants in the dual diploma program is 5 students. Education for students is free according to the cooperation agreement between the faculties.
In the first and last semesters of the master's program, the student studies at their home university, while the other two semesters are at the host university.
Deans/directors choose a scientific supervisor (with a doctorate) from the faculty/institute teaching staff for the student, which is then approved by the council of the faculty/institute.
Each student has two scientific supervisors, one from each university.
In the event of academic differences (crediting subjects scheduled for the semester), the student resolves them according to the rules adopted at the universities. The deans/directors of both faculties/institutes jointly determine the method of crediting courses.
State exam
The diploma thesis is prepared by the student under the supervision of two scientific supervisors (from the host and sending universities) according to the requirements developed at each university. The diploma thesis is written in two languages: the native language and one foreign language of choice – either Ukrainian and English or Polish.
The diploma thesis is assessed according to the criteria approved at each university.
The student is allowed to take the state exam after completing the curriculum.
The state exam is conducted at the host university before an examination commission approved by the dean of the faculty/director of the institute, which includes at least one of the student's scientific supervisors. The exam is conducted in Polish/Ukrainian.
