The aim of the study programme is to train students to become technically advanced mechanical engineers. After completing their studies, mechanical engineers will be able to carry out high level scientific, specified technical, IT, business and project management tasks related to conventional and up to date materials- and manufacturing technologies. Using their acquired knowledge, mechanical engineers will be able to both research and develop as well as design and manufacture different machines and their components. The master’s programme prepares students to participate in and lead projects related to materials- and manufacturing technologies. 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 mechanical engineering industry internationally. They will also be able to continue their studies abroad or fulfill leadership roles in multinational firms.
As the training programme is partly project-oriented, students participate in and/or lead a project which 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
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.
