The recruitment process at AGH University of Science and Technology is conducted using the e-Recruitment system, where you can print out all the necessary recruitment documents, such as the application form, information sheet and others.

It is not possible to fill in these documents in any other way than through the e-Recruitment system.

Moving to a university from another institution of higher education is not part of the recruitment process. It requires the consent of the Dean of the Faculty conducting the course to which the student would like to transfer.

Questions in this matter should be addressed directly to the Dean of the relevant Faculty; contact details of the Faculties are available on the page Faculties and basic organisational units.

The rules of admitting the laureates and finalists of central-level Olympiads are specified in the Resolution of the Senate of AGH No. 158/2019. The laureates and finalists who may apply for admission to AGH without the recruitment procedure must register in the e-Recruitment system. Within the dates provided in the recruitment calendar, they are required to enter the results of their matriculation exam and send in a scan of a certificate stating that they have been awarded a laureate or finalist title. They must then present the original of the certificate for review when making their enrolment. This entitlement can only be claimed after obtaining positive results in the secondary school-leaving examinations and only in the year of obtaining the secondary school-leaving certificate. Skipping the admission procedure means that the laureates and finalists receive the maximum value of the admission indicator.

No. Entry must be made by the deadline for entry in a given recruitment cycle. Failure to make an entry means resignation from the seat assigned to the student.

However, in the case of unforeseen events which make it impossible to enter by the deadline and which are confirmed by a reliable document, it is possible to apply for an extension/restoration of the entry deadline.
