Graduate profile
Graduates of the ABIOM programme possess advanced knowledge in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biochemistry, materials science, and the fundamentals of materials engineering. They understand the complex relationships between the structure, composition, and properties of materials—including polymeric, biomimetic, and biobased materials—and their functionality, especially in engineering, biomedical, and high‑tech applications. They are familiar with the basics of electrical engineering, electronics, information technologies, and computational methods used in the analysis and design of materials. The graduates are able to conduct laboratory experiments involving the synthesis, modification, and evaluation of material properties, including biomaterials, polymers, and biomimetic and biobased composites. They can prepare samples, select measurement techniques, and apply modern analytical methods for nanostructure characterization. They are proficient in operating research equipment and digital tools supporting data analysis and modelling of material properties. The graduates have engineering competencies including the design of technical solutions, risk assessment, application of engineering norms and standards, as well as the use of CAD tools and simulation methods. They understand the principles of sustainable development, can assess the environmental impact of biobased and biomimetic materials, and know the basics of biodegradation, biocompatibility, and material toxicity. Thanks to project‑based modules—including the Interdisciplinary Project, Capstone Module, and professional internship—the graduates can work in interdisciplinary teams, solve engineering problems, prepare technical documentation, and present project results. They also possess basic knowledge in entrepreneurship, quality management, labour law, and intellectual property protection, preparing them for functioning in a modern professional environment. Because the programme is taught in English and includes a mandatory mobility module completed at foreign universities, the graduate is able to function in an international and multicultural work environment.
The relationship between the field of study and the university's strategy
The ABIOM programme aligns with the Strategy of Lodz University of Technology for 2025–2030, whose key objective is to develop an educational model preparing graduates for the dynamically changing needs of the socio‑economic environment. The ABIOM curriculum supports the following strategic goals of TUL: Supporting scientific research addressing socio‑economic challenges. ABIOM students participate in research projects linked to the industrial sector. Developing mobility opportunities for staff, doctoral candidates, and students. ABIOM students and staff regularly take part in international exchanges; the mobility semester is an integral part of the programme. Strengthening internationalisation in education. The programme is delivered in English and is popular among Erasmus+ students. Studies in the ABIOM program are available to international students. Conducting socially and environmentally responsible research supporting a knowledge‑based economy and interdisciplinary collaboration. Students can participate in industry‑related research addressing societal and environmental needs. The programme is consulted with the Faculty Business Council to ensure alignment with labour‑market expectations. Modernising research infrastructure and ensuring its effective use. Students of the Faculty of Chemistry of Lodz University of Technology have access to specialized equipment and modern laboratories in the Alchemium building and other modern infrastructure belonging to the Faculty (including a technological hall dedicated to polymer and plastics technology, as well as biomaterials and nanomaterials laboratories). Implementing clear and fair principles for hiring, remunerating, and promoting employees, while respecting tolerance and equality. The recruitment process for employees at the Faculty of Chemistry at Lodz University of Technology is based on the OTM-R policy – "Open, Transparent, and Merit-Based Recruitment Process." Continuous improvement of academic teachers' competencies in modern teaching methods, the current state of knowledge, technological developments, and scientific trends. Academic teachers involved in teaching in the ABIOM program actively participate in numerous training courses, enhancing their qualifications, including in modern teaching methods. They learn modern teaching methods from international specialists visiting the Faculty of Chemistry, and participate in teaching at universities abroad. Enhancing the educational offer in response to socio‑economic challenges, with the Business Council actively shaping the curriculum. Strengthening the talent management process by individualizing the education paths of students and doctoral students. Talented students can pursue studies according to an individual study program (IPS) or an individual organization of studies (IOS) and participate Characteristics of the course 29 / 38 in TUL's mentoring programs, such as E2TOP and “Uczelnie Przyszłości” (Universities of the Future). Supporting the scientific development of undergraduate and graduate students, with an emphasis on interdisciplinarity and internationalization; increasing student participation in research conducted at the university and intensifying their practical experience outside the university. Students have the opportunity to participate in interdisciplinary research projects, for example, combining topics in chemistry, biology, medicine, materials science, and computer science. They can also participate in foreign trips and exchange programs (Erasmus+), internships in foreign laboratories, including as part of the mobile semester. Students also co-author scientific publications with international reach. In summary, through these initiatives, the ABIOM programme fully aligns with the Strategy of Lodz University of Technology, offering high‑quality education and preparing graduates for labour‑market demands.
