Seven Polish technical universities have earned places in the Top 100 of the latest European Ranking of Engineering Programs, known as EngiRank 2024, underscoring Poland’s strong position in engineering and technical education across Europe.

Leading this group is the AGH University of Science and Technology, which ranks 48th, placing ahead of the Gdańsk University of Technology, Warsaw University of Technology, and Silesian University of Technology, all of which share the 64th position. The Wrocław University of Science and Technology follows at 78th, with both the Poznań University of Technology and Łódź University of Technology tied at 96th.

The ranking assessed 226 higher education institutions from 27 EU countries, along with Switzerland and Norway, demonstrating the competitive presence of Polish institutions within a European context. In total, 21 Polish technical universities were included, underscoring the country’s growing prominence in the field of engineering education.

EngiRank is the first and only European ranking focused on key indicators for engineering education, aimed at training competent and socially aware engineers. It includes 226 engineering institutions and programmes from 27 EU countries, considering such factors as participation in Erasmus+ and Horizon programmes, commitment to sustainable development goals, collaborative research initiatives, and academic partnerships, such as those within European university consortia. The ranking also assesses cooperation with industry, joint research projects with the business sector, patent activity, and engineering accreditations (ENAEE, ABET).

The ranking is organised by the Perspektywy Educational Foundation, with international publishing house Elsevier as the main project partner.
