Dear Students,

Studying at the Silesian University of Technology is a unique moment in life, full of new challenges and experiences. In order to help you find yourself in the academic reality, we invite you to participate in the “Buddy System”.

It is an initiative in which older, experienced students support younger colleagues in learning and adaptation to academic conditions.

Participation in the program is a great opportunity to:

• better understand more difficult issues and get help in learning,

• get to know proven methods of learning,

• use practical tips for studying,

• exchange experiences with people who recently have been in your place.

Meetings are held on individually agreed dates and cover a variety of subjects and issues – thanks to which you can easily adjust your participation to your schedule.

To join, simply fill out the application form available on the project website.

The number of places is limited – the order of applications decides.

We hope that participation in the Buddy System will help you confidently continue your studies and achieve your first academic successes.

Good luck and see you in class!

Registration deadline until the 1st of June 2026 at 12.00

Silesian University of Technology is implementing the project “Together to the diploma – Silesian University of Technology supports students,” which aims to provide comprehensive support to students and increase the effectiveness of the education process.

The initiative includes activities aimed, among others, at reducing the phenomenon of resignation from studies, better matching the forms of education to the needs of students, and strengthening their preparation for entering the labour market.

The project provides for a number of practical activities, including information meetings on recruitment – aimed at candidates for studies - in order to facilitate their transition through the application process and to dispel the most common doubts. Presentation activities for candidates are also planned, which will allow to better understand the didactic offer and the nature of studies. First-year students have been provided with adaptation support to help them find themselves in the academic world and reduce stress associated with starting their studies. In turn, career coaching and support for individual educational and professional development is to support students in conscious planning of the development path and choosing further activities. The project also includes micro courses and micro credentials, which are to help students flexibly complement their competences and adapt the education path to their own needs and requirements of the labour market.

The total value of the project is PLN 4 998 607.25, including PLN 4 124 850.70 of co-financing. The project is funded by European Funds for Social Development.
