A new generation of graduates were awarded the graduation certificates on Friday, May 22, at UP FAMNIT. Unfortunately, we had to cancel the graduation ceremony due to the existing measures to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 disease. As every year, the faculty also awards students who have been particularly successful in their studies or research or who have excelled in extracurricular activities.
