The paper is focused on the analysis of the studying program in the circular economy for bachelors at the Silesian Polytechnic of the Republic of Poland. The training first introduced in Poland in 2018, is practice-oriented and aimed at systematic training of bachelors to implement the tasks of the circular economy. The research material is the studying programme for bachelors in the circular economy at the Silesian Polytechnic. The paper presents the analysis of the structure, the studying hours, subjects, activities, and project-based method. The paper shows that bachelor’s training is practice-based using modern learning technologies, in particular the implementation of both educational projects and projects in a specific production. It is concluded that the study and analysis of studying programme in the circular economy at the bachelor level in the Republic of Poland allow us to implement Polish experience in designing training courses in higher education to provide green economy ideas in Ukraine.
