Four faculties provide instruction in eleven fields of study, covering over thirty specialization areas. Two specialization areas, namely repair and preservation of historical monuments, as well as laser and plasma technologies are unique in Poland. Details concerning the fields of study and specialization areas can be found in the Prospectus part on faculties.

The University is a participant in the process of creation of the European Higher Education Area. The directives included in the Bologna Declaration clearly indicate the ways to achieve this goal.
Education options offered by the University are based on three cycles. The first and the second cycle programmes in all fields of study and modes of study were introduced to follow the system in the EU states. That fosters student mobility, both horizontal (between national and foreign universities) and vertical (which makes it possible, on completion of the first cycle, to take up a second cycle programme in a field of study different from the first cycle field).  The third cycle programmes, i.e. doctoral studies, are available at the Faculty of Mechatronics and Machine Building and  the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
Curricula developed at the University for all fields of study and cycles are compliant with teaching standards for respective units. All technical fields of study meet the standards set by the European Federation of National Engineering Associations (FEANI). All fields of study, listed in the so-called  FEANI INDEX, provide frames for the "Common Platform" for engineers, which is supposed to stimulate the transfer of professionals within Europe and to ensure the recognition of their qualifications.
The credit system, based on point scoring is compatible with the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS). The system is binding for all modes, fields of study and specialisation areas. The ECTS system facilitates both reading and comparing qualifications obtained by students at various universities. It also enables students to choose individualised study plans or flexible study courses and stimulates student mobility, both domestic and international.
The quality of academic instruction in the University fields of study is monitored by the State Accreditation Committee. All fields of study which were assessed by the State Accreditation Committee received a positive assessment. "The University Education Quality Assurance System", introduced at the University by the Senate resolution, is meant to maintain a high standard of teaching and a constant pursue of excellence.
On passing their diploma exam, the graduates have, apart from a diploma, an additional document issued. A diploma supplement as it is called, provides detailed information on the contents of the course completed, and also academic and professional qualifications awarded.  When presented to a prospective employers, the supplement will make a reliable tool of assessment of the candidate's competencies acquired during the course. It will also be helpful if graduates choose to continue their studies at either domestic or foreign academic institutions.
The task of the Foreign Languages Department, an interfaculty unit of the University, is to provide teaching services to cover the basic scheme of compulsory language learning, which is based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The Foreign Languages Department also runs out-of-curriculum courses of the following languages: English, German, French, Spanish and Russian at all levels of language education. The courses, including those preparing for FCE, CAE, ZD ZMP examinations, are designed for adults and young learners. The Foreign Languages Department is an examination centre for TOEIC - the most popular test of English in the business community.
The Physical Education Department, an interfaculty unit of the University, organises students sports training in the following disciplines: volleyball, basketball, football, bodybuilding, aerobics, table tennis. Some of the Physical Education classes are carried out within the frame provided by the so-called interfaculty sports leagues.    
The Centre for Continuing Education (CKU) also provides educational services at the University. This unit initiates and organises post-graduate courses and various forms of training courses for different professions. The Non-Stationary Education Centre, within the CKU structure, runs distance learning courses. The Centre's membership in the European Distance and E-learning Network (EDEN) guarantees inflow of new ideas on the Internet learning, thus widening the scope of the educational offer.
The Career Guidance and Student Promotion Centre has been operating at the University since 1997 (it was the first one in the region and one of the first to have appeared in our country). In Poland, such centres are commonly termed Careers Offices. The activities of the Careers Office are designed to help students enter the labour market and look for jobs which correspond to their qualifications profiles and meet their expectations. The Careers Office at the Kielce University of Technology is one of the founding members of the all-Polish network of such offices.
