Problems and Challenges in Education in ICT at the Poznan University of Technology

In this paper, we describe the current status of university education in the area of electronics and telecommunications, teleinformatics, computer science and artificial intelligence at the Poznan University of Technology. We describe the method of admission for the above fields of studies, and problems faced by freshmen resulting from the education curricula in high schools in Poland, in particular in mathematics and informatics. Next, we shortly describe most of the fields of studies offered at PUT in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). We also present a description of the newly introduced field of studies, namely, "Artificial Intelligence". We also show how the job offers influence candidates for Ph.D. studies, and present the prospects of scientific careers. It is a problem of relations with industry, which on one hand have a form of cooperation, but on the other, create serious competition for the development of university scientific staff in ICT.
