This paper presents the general idea of adaptive mechanisms and their implementation in teaching of biomedical engineering in AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow. The adaptation, initially implied by the novelty of profession and multidisciplinary character of the domain, revealed its advantages in striving for a quality education that considers multiple external and internal benchmarks. The paper discloses the organizational conditions of teachnig of a new discipline together with the management rules of the Multidisciplinary School and a general layout of the educational offer. Afterwards, aspects selected as instrumental in quality teaching are presented: building of international relations, education of practical skills and quality control mechanisms. Last chapter reveals advantages of teaching adaptation for competitive graduates in both aspects: general (concerning the study programme) and individual (concerning personal career building). The paper concludes by preliminary results estimating how MSIB students are evaluated in various internal and external circumstances. These results show that last year students and very first graduates not only show high level of professional knowledge, skills and competences, but also are self-aware enough to responsibly plan and manage their future careers.
