Abstract
Poland and its education system have been undergoing radical and fast change since 1989 as the country "westernises". The pressures on HE in some ways mirror those of western Europe (growing classes, industrial and commercial demands), but the starting point is quite different. Attempting to meet these challenges, a TEMPUS PHARE [2] project has brought together 6 western universities and the Technical University of Lodz in a 3 year programme to redesign programmes and delivery across the Faculty of Technical Physics, Computer Science and Applied Mathematics. A progress report on this attempt at major change management is presented.
