The aim of the programme is to train students to become technically advanced automotive engineers. After completing their studies, vehicle engineers will be able to carry out high level scientific, specified technical automotive, IT, and business and project management tasks related to vehicle development, internal combustion engines and alternative drive systems. Using their acquired knowledge, vehicle engineers will be able to both research and develop as well as design and manufacture vehicles, engines and their components. The Master’s programme prepares students to participate in and lead projects related to vehicles, drivelines and engines. Students will be also prepared to continue their studies in the PhD training programme at Széchenyi István University. The master’s programme is in English, which will enable students to secure positions and/or participate in projects in the vehicle industry internationally. They will also be able to continue their studies abroad or fulfil leadership roles in multinational firms. As the training programme is project-oriented, each semester students participate in and/or lead a project. Semester projects can be individual or a team effort, they can be independent or interrelated. This philosophy prepares students to work, cooperate, and be leaders at the international level.
Structure of studies
The total number of credits needed to complete the programme is 180 credits. The courses of the programme are divided into three categories: compulsory courses, thesis courses and elective courses. 1 credit equals 1 ECTS credit, and 1 credit is defined as 25 student working hours.
Language requirements
OEFL 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 Bachelor’s degree relevant* to the Master's studies, 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)
* BA/BSc degrees in Vehicle Engineering, Transportation Engineering, Logistics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Safety Engineering, Military and Safety Engineering, Military and security Engineering, Engineering Information Technology, Mechanical Engineering in the Agriculture and Food Industry. Applicants with other types of BA/BSc degrees can also apply, but will have to fulfil some additional requirements.
Programme educational objectives:
The aim of the programme is to train students to become technically advanced automotive engineers. After completing their studies, vehicle engineers will be able to:
PEO#1: Carry out high level scientific, specified technical automotive, IT, and business and project management tasks related to vehicle development, internal combustion engines and alternative drive systems.
PEO#2: Both research and develop as well as design and manufacture vehicles, engines and their components.
PEO#3: Be a successful employee / entrepreneur / manager in jobs related to automotive or engineering fields.
PEO#4: Strive to comply with ethical standards, sustainability and environmental responsibility in their practice.
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 Vehicle Engineering MSc programme defines following SOs to guide student development:
- An ability to apply the acquired general and specific mathematical, natural and social science principles, rules, relationships, and procedures in solving problems arising in the technical field.
- An ability to process, systematize, analyse and draw conclusions from information collected during the implementation of vehicle and mobile machine systems and processes.
- An ability to recognize the relationships and mechanisms of action of vehicle and mobile machine systems and the processes that make them up and to evaluate and manage them from a systems perspective.
- An ability to apply integrated knowledge in the fields of transport, mobile machines, process theory, industrial production processes, electronics and IT.
- An ability to apply procedures, models and information technologies used in the planning, implementation and operation of vehicle and mobile machine systems and their further development.
- An ability to carry out condition assessments, to develop evaluations and proposals based on them, to develop complex vehicle and mobile machine systems, to plan, organize and manage them at a high level.
- An ability to plan and manage the using of technical, economic, environmental and human resources and to perform managerial tasks.
Job opportunities:
Our graduates are placed in a wide range of careers. Most of them build their careers in large and medium-sized companies whose activities are related to vehicles in the fields of design and manufacturing or vehicle maintenance and operation. Some find fulfilment in transport authorities, brand services, vehicle operation and maintenance companies. Some start their own businesses and become successful as suppliers and/or support companies, consultants or experts. The diploma obtained is recognised as equivalent in the European Union.
