short courses, workshop seminars and exchange
programs.
The five-year program of the Faculty of Architecture
taught in English is in full conformity with the five-year
program provided in Hungarian, whereafter two years
of practical experience the EUR-ING title is
acquirable.
Academic Program of the Faculty of Architecture:
B.Sc./M.Sc. Studies
The two-level B.Sc, M.Sc training in the English speaking
section of the Faculty of Architecture is realized in a
split-up system, in full conformity with the Hungarian
speaking section.
For a B.Sc degree, students have to accumulate min 240
credit points, for an M.Sc degree min 300 credit points
by completing the obligatory subjects and gathering the
remaining credit points by completing elective subjects
as well.
The B.Sc degree can be obtained in a minimum of four
years, M.Sc degree in a minimum of five years of study.
Master's Program
Students who have earned B.Sc. degrees in other schools of architecture
can join the Master's Program. Programs will be tailored to their
previous education and special needs. In general they are admitted to
the last two years of the five years program, and they have to collect a
minimum of 120 credits.
These studies encompass a wide range of complex design topics and
elective subjects grouped in three directions:
• Structural Design - buildings and other structures.
• Architectural Design - buildings with different functions, their interiors
and surroundings; the preservation of historical buildings.
• Town Planning - urban design, settlement planning and management.

Faculty of Electrical Engineering
and Informatics
The Faculty of Electrical Engineering founded in 1949 has been
renowned for excellence in research and education throughout the
years of changes in the scope of engineering. Over this period, the
faculty has earned a wide-spread international reputation for its high
academic standards and scientific achievements. Spearheading the
movement to establish a modern education system, it has offered a
comprehensive English curriculum since 1992.
Nearly at the same time, the name of the faculty was changed to
Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics in order to give
recognition to the growing importance of computer science. The
education programs in English include a 3.5-year B.Sc., a 2-year
M.Sc. and a 3-year Ph.D. program in the fields of electrical and
software engineering.
This Bulletin describes the curricula and the subjects being available for
the 2012/2013 academic year, regarding the BSc, MSc and PhD

computer science.
The major specializations in Electrical Engineering are computer
networks, control and robotics and power engineering. Studies
in Software Engineering include specialization in
infocommunication and software technology.
Each specialization contains three courses focusing on the field of
interest followed by a laboratory course and a project laboratory.
In order to pursue studies in a given specialization the number of
students must exceed a certain threshold, otherwise the
interested students are kindly directed to another specialization.
The M.Sc. programme further advances the knowledge
obtained in the undergraduate programs in three fields:
• (1) Electrical Engineering, offering specializations in
– embedded systems,
– infocommunication systems,
– electrical machines and drives;
• (2) Software Engineering, offering specializations in
– applied computer science,
– system development;
• (3) Business Information Systems, offering
specializations in
– Analytical Business Intelligence.

(less than 3.50 out of 5.00) are regretfully rejected to
enter the M.Sc. Program.
• 3. Applicants should also submit two recommendations
given by renowned academic personnel.
Practical guidelines for acceptance
to the PhD programme
• 1. The primary condition of admission to postgraduate studies is that
the applicant must hold a master of science (or engineering) degree in
electrical and electronic engineering (or in some closely related fields)
or informatics. Admission to postgraduate studies will be considered if
the qualification of previous studies is at least of level ‘good’ (more
than 3.51 out of 5.00) or equivalent.
• 2. Applicants are expected to have a definite scope of research in
electrical engineering in Computer Science,where they would like to
advance their knowledge. They are requested to present a proposal,
specifying a domain of interest with some research objectives,
milestones and deliverables during the postgraduate studies. The
suggested topic should have sufficient preliminaries in their university
studies.
• 3. Applicants with experience and initial result in the suggested
research topic will have preference. A short summary of preliminary
research activities together with relevant reports, published papers …
etc. Would be of help in the admission process.
• 4. Applicants should also submit two recommendations given by
renowned academic personnel.

• The Mechanical Engineering Program at the Budapest University
of Technology and Economics began in 1863, and the Faculty of
Mechanical Engineering was established soon afterward,
beginning official operations in the 1871/72 academic year. The
Faculty is justly proud of its continuous and progressive 150-year
history and now offers undergraduate and graduate programs in
both Hungarian and English.
• Since the 2006/07 academic year, the Faculty of Mechanical
Engineering has offered a 3.5-year undergraduate B.Sc. degree
program in English. The new two-year graduate program in
English, leading to an M.Sc. degree started in February 2009,
students can start their studies either in the fall or spring
semester. Individual postgraduate academic and research
programs, which are usually completed in two to three years, are
available for those who already have an M.Sc. degree and wish to
pursue a Ph.D. degree.
The undergraduate B.Sc. program of the Faculty of
Mechanical Engineering is designed to continue a
tradition of excellence by:
• providing a well-established and broad knowledge that
graduates of this Faculty can apply immediately in their
work and also use as the basis for further studies;
• graduating competent engineers who are not only
masters of their profession, but also possess an ethical
philosophy of engineering based on accuracy,
punctuality and reliability as well as a respect for the
human element.
The goals of the Faculty's graduate M.Sc. and Ph.D.
programs are:
• to train creative, inventive mechanical
engineers who can apply the engineering
skills and the knowledge they have gained
from the natural sciences on a state-ofthe-art level; and
• to foster the development of leaders in
engineering research and development.
MSc in Mechanical Engineering Modeling at the Budapest
University of Technology and Economics (BME)
This course deals with those time-dependent problems of
mechanical engineering, which typically require the efficient
modelling of these tasks in order to access the continuously
developing methods of computational engineering.
Modelling means the understanding and active application of
the related theories, which are supported by differential
equations and numerical methods in mathematics.
Modelling needs also experimental work during the researchdevelopment-innovation process in case engineers do not
have enough information about the motions and processes
they want to capture by a model.
MSc in Mechanical Engineering Modeling
After the brief summary of the required
mathematics, solid mechanics, fluid mechanics,
thermodynamics, electronics, control and
informatics, the students have to choose a major
and a minor specialization from the following list
of modules:
1. Solid Mechanics

• The Faculty of Transportation Engineering has been training
engineers for the field of transportation and vehicle engineering
since 1951. Since that time the profile of engineering training has
been widened several times.
• In the academic year of 2006/2007 as a first step of the new type
of linear training, at the Faculty of Transportation Engineering,
training began at the transportation engineering basic specialty
(BSc); in that framework knowledge related to transport,
transportation, and mechanization can be attained including
knowledge in connection with processes realized in the listed
fields and also knowledge related to machines, equipment
(vehicles and mobile machinery) realizing those processes.
• From the academic year 2010/2011 our Faculty launched vehicle
basic specialty (BSc), its task is to acquiant students with the
design, operation, and control systems of vehicles.
• In the academic year 2008/2009, the Faculty began, as the second
stage of the new type of linear training (BSc), the master’s program
of three Faculties (MSc): specialties in transportation engineering,
logistics engineering and vehicle engineering.
• With adequate BSc qualification, a certified engineering qualification
can be obtained in 2 years at these master’s training specialties. All
the fundamental and complementary studies pursued at the Faculty
are carried out in accordance with the rules of the ECTS (European
Credit Transfer System).
• The quantity of student work necessary for acquiring the knowledge
material of an arbitrary subject is measured through credit-points.
One credit-point means in average 30 hours of work for a student,
one semester contains a study material with the quantity of 30
credit-points.
Minimum condition of course initiation: 5 (or more) paid student
status.
