The undergraduate B.Sc. programme aims at providing a comprehensive knowledge with sound theoretical foundations in two areas: 1. Electrical Engineering including more specific studies in electronics, computer engineering and power engineering; 2. Software Engineering dedicated to the major domains of 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;
with previous B.Sc. studies having a WGAP (Weighted Grade Average Point) equal or better than good and with a B.Sc. degree issued not earlier than five years prior to the application will receive unconditional acceptance to the M.Sc. course. 2. Applicants with previous B.Sc. studies having a WGAP equal or better than good and with a B.Sc. degree issued earlier than five years prior to the application will receive conditional acceptance to the M.Sc. course. The term conditional acceptance means that the applicant has been approved for admission as a provisional graduate student in the Pre-M.Sc. degree program in Electrical or Software Engineering. The Pre-M.Sc. degree program is a twosemester course for applicants who have B.Sc. degree, but who need to brush up or improve their knowledge in science and technology. An applicant can then continue his or her studies in one of our four-semester M.Sc. programmes, and can receive regular M.Sc. student status if he or she achieves a WGAP of good or better in this course. Failure to achieve this grade results in revoking the admission. 3. Applicants with a B.Sc. qualification less than good are regretfully rejected to enter the M.Sc. program.

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 2. Fluid Mechanics 3. Thermal Engineering 4. Design and Technology 5. Industrial Electronics (minor only) 6. Robotics
The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering offers additional and optional courses on BSc level to its students to take
