He studied at the Faculty of Mathematics and Mechanics of the University of Warsaw, which he graduated in 1969 with a master's degree in mathematics. On December 1, 1972, he obtained the title of doctor of technical sciences at the Institute of Fundamental Technological Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences. And there, twelve years later, on December 1, 1984, he received the title of habilitated doctor of technical sciences. The title of professor of technical sciences, was given to Witold Kosinski on December 27, 1993.
