Thursday, 16 April 2026 UPgrade - guidance for choosing a program of study at higher levels

Deciding on a field of study and a degree program is an important step after finishing high school—and it’s often just as important after completing the first cycle of higher education. Continuing on the chosen path, switching to a different field, or pursuing a dual degree are options that universities offer to students who wish to take advantage of the benefits of the Bologna system.

That is why UP offers its students support throughout the entire final year of the first cycle—first through visits to each program, where students receive both a reminder on how to continue their studies through the proper processes and a list of possible transfers within UP’s study programs. The visits were followed by information booths at individual faculties and other activities, which culminated on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, with the UPgrade fair, where all member institutions presented their second- and third-cycle programs; the event was also open to external visitors seeking information prior to the information days scheduled to take place at individual faculties in the coming months.

The UP faculties presented themselves at the fair, along with the FTPO, a faculty in the process of joining the university—together, they showcased 33 master’s degree programs and 16 doctoral degree programs, where students shared their experiences, while staff from the departments and the UP Admissions Office provided information on admission requirements. They presented both the programs and the options for transferring between UP faculties or programs, vertical study tracks within faculties, and concurrent study. In addition, the International Office—along with the office for the European university Transform4Europe, the UP Career Center, and UP Sports—presented opportunities to broaden their academic experiences. UP Sports also organized a workout session designed to help students clear their minds and make better decisions about continuing their studies.
