The programme provides students with multidisciplinary skills to produce professionals able to work in diverse areas of the broad field of Civil Engineering. Potential occupations include engineering design, construction management, employment at a government regulatory agency, specialized field and laboratory testing and analysis, operation and maintenance of civil engineering works, site planning and development as well as contract oversight. Civil engineering professionals work with architects, engineers from other disciplines, contractors, government officials, business people, and finance/insurance specialists. The bachelor’s program also prepares students to pursue studies for a master's degree.
Structure of studies
The total number of credits needed to complete the programme is 240 The programme is divided into five categories: natural sciences (51 credits), economics and human sciences (17 credits), fundamental technical knowledge (117 credits), specialized technical knowledge (40 credits), thesis course (15 credits). 1 credit equals one ECTS credit, and 1 credit is defined as 25 student working ours.
Language requirements
TOEFL 513 / IELTS 5.5 /oral examination, TOEFL IBT test score of 66 or any standardised international English language exam corresponding with Hungarian B2 at the Bachelors level and C1 at Masters level.
If there is no standardised English exam, the University relies on an online interview. Applicants not complying with language requirements must enrol in a preparatory language programme. After having completed the language course and passed the requisite final examination, if there are no professional reservations on the part of the Faculty, admission to the selected Bachelor's programme is automatic.
Academic requirements
Completed and signed application form, copy of your passport, notarized copy of secondary/high school graduation results including mathematics, notarized copy of the Transcript of Records, notarized copy of your language certificate, recent photograph, Curriculum Vitae (resumé) in English, Motivational Letter in English, Academic Reference letter in English (Issued by your former academic institution/teacher)
Programme educational objectives:
The Civil Engineering BSc programme at Széchenyi István University is designed to equip graduates with the knowledge, skills and attributes necessary for successful careers in the field of civil engineering. Our programme educational objectives (PEOs) are as follows:
PEO#1: Graduates will excel in developing effective solutions to civil engineering challenges.
PEO#2: Students will demonstrate proficient communication and competency in core civil engineering areas, whether in practice or through advanced studies.
PEO#3: Graduates will conduct themselves ethically, contribute to societal well-being through their projects and advance professionally in their careers.
PEO#4: Students will stay updated with contemporary changes, engage in lifelong learning and attain professional engineering registration.
Student Outcomes:
The student outcomes (SOs) of our programme represent the skills, knowledge and behaviours that our curriculum aims to impart to our students. The Civil Engineering BSc programme defines seven SOs (1) to (7) to guide student development as follows:
- An ability to identify, formulate and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science and mathematics.
- An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental and economic factors.
- An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
- An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental and societal contexts.
- An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks and meet objectives.
- An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyse and interpret data and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
- An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
Job opportunities:
The skills acquired can help the graduates in a wide range of areas: in addition to traditional design, development and construction tasks, today's engineers are increasingly involved in project management, business and economic activities, facilities management, maintenance and operation, professional support for public administration and managing relations with people, communities and the environment. Graduates in civil engineering are qualified to carry out construction, maintenance and management, contracting and administrative tasks and to work independently on design projects. The diploma obtained is recognised as equivalent in the European Union.
