STIPENDIUM HUNGARICUM Thousands of students from all around the world apply for higher educational studies in Hungary each year. The number of Stipendium Hungaricum applicants is continuously increasing as well as the number of available scholarship places. In average yearly 10 PhD students and 60 MSc students are enrolled at our Faculty arriving from Iran, Turkey, Kazahstan, Jordan, Pakistan, China, Brazil and many other countries.

The programme is based on bilateral educational cooperation agreements signed between the Ministries responsible for education in the sending countries/territories and Hungary or between institutions. Currently 60 Sending Partners are engaged in the programme throughout 5 different continents and the geographical scope of the programme is spreading each year.

STUDY PROGRAMMES IN ENGLISH

Autonomous Vehicle Control Engineer MSc During the 4 semester long MSc study, our aim is to provide the required knowledge to graduates in the fields of vehicle technology, control theory, intelligent systems, information technology and communications. The students will be prepared to take part in designing, developing and manufacturing autonomous vehicles, simulate networks, test and validate processes and work in a complex environment with various sensor data. The students will also be able to facilitate the creation of safe and energy-saving operation of autonomous transportation systems considering environmental and sustainable parameters. The cooperation with our industrial partners guarantees that students will be able to participate in the latest research and development projects. The integration of the requirements of the industrial partners and project results to the curriculum leads to a unique education programme, that helps to achieve a specific knowledge transfer between the university and the vehicle industry.

Vehicle Engineering MSc Our aim is to provide the required knowledge to graduates, required to manage development, design, dimensioning, manufacturing and analyzing internal processes of different vehicles.

The students will also be prepared to management tasks and to creatively participate in research and development related tasks.

Specializations: Automotive vehicle engineer, Aerospace vehicle engineer, Naval vehicle engineer, Railway vehicle engineer, Mobile machinery and construction equipment engineer, Automated material handling system, Vehicle manufacturing and repairing engineer, Vehicle system engineer, Road and traffic safety engineer, Vehicle automation engineer, Vehicle structure engineer Transportation Engineering MSc Our aim is to train graduates, who will be able to analyze, plan, organize and control transport related processes in an integrated way considering economic, safety, environmental and human resource aspects. Graduates will be able to deal with

tasks of transport administration and transport authorities, choice and operation of vehicles and facilities of passenger and good transportation systems and related infrastructural, control and IT system elements. The students will also be prepared to higher management tasks, to creatively participate in research and development tasks.

Specializations: Transportation systems, Transportation automatization, Transportation engineer manager, Freight forwarding management, Air Traffic Management Logistics Engineering MSc Our aim is to train graduates, who will be able to plan, organize and control corporate logistics systems, good transport systems and supply and distribution networks. Furthermore they will be able to join to developing logistics systems related machines and tools. The students will also be able to deal with complex logistics system modeling and optimization, they understand operation and planning principles of corporate logistics systems, distribution networks and supply chains. The students will also be prepared to manage leading tasks, to creatively participate in research and development related problems.

Specializations: Corporate logistics and operations planning, Technical logistics, Freight forwarding management

Lana Alkhayer | Syria Budapest University of Technology and Economics - Faculty of Transportation Engineering and Vehicle Engineering is the best place where I can improve my knowledge and skills because of providing a unity of theory and practice with high standard theoretical foundations and practical training where I am able to analyze, plan, organize and control transport related processes in an integrated way considering economic, safety, environmental and human resources aspects.

Sarbast Moslem | Syria As of now, education is a major issue in the entire world. On the off chance that I finish my studies, for me it opens another window to the education point of view. It’s a benefit learning at BME where the instruction framework is one of the world’s most proficient.

PhD studies The highest level of the faculty’s education is represented by the Kandó Kálmán Doctoral School, where the PhD students are being prepared for scientific research and a possible career as a professor and researcher. The 4 year program lets the students take part in professional subjects and courses, teaching activities and individual scientific research tasks. Research activity is being lead by a professional supervisor, and the PhD students will show their results through their publications and later in their dissertation.

Martha Polla | Namibia The faculty offers an advanced specialisation in transportation systems which will sufficiently equip me to work. What I like most about the university are the friendly and helpful professors. They give you the drive and make the learning process easier. It is one of the best engineering university in Hungary and it makes provision for a conducive study environment.
