Dear

Prospective Student,

Making a choice of career is an important and defining turning point in the lives of both parents and their children.

Some young people think for months or even years about what profession to choose and where to continue their studies. Others, on the other hand, first encounter this issue when they have to decide what steps to take next in their life. Answering the following questions then become inevitable: Which profession is suitable for me? What major do I want to specialize in? At which university? How do I imagine my future? In which profession can I be successful? What kind of job fits me? What are the criteria for choosing the right school? How do I make the right decision?

The majority of young people often choose a career based on external in fl uences, examples from parents, acquaintances and images provided by the media, however, making a good decision should be based on self-knowledge, because over the long run only internal motivation and a high level of interest provides the satisfaction to keep people working. Ideally, the prospective student makes their further education decisions based on their own abilities and self-knowledge, and in accordance with the requirements of the given profession. If we are aware of our personal strengths and weaknesses, it can help us to achieve our goals and enable us to make important decisions. When looking at our personal qualities, what we are interested in and a sound knowledge of our abilities is especially important in choosing a career. Our areas of interest in fl uences which activities we enjoy, and which activities are less appealing. Choosing an occupation that best suits our interests allows us to do work that suits us, in which we can perform consistently at a high level. Assessing our abilities and skills shows which strengths we can build on and which skills require further development. If we can make effective use of our strengths in our chosen profession, we can produce successful, productive professional work. While bearing this in mind, it is also important to recognize that the abilities and skills required for a given profession can be further developed through practice.

A prerequisite for a good career choice is career knowledge, which means knowledge of the most essential requirements of each career, so that the ability, knowledge, and the chosen career can be matched. Knowledge of the job market is also decisive, that means, recognizing the dynamics of labour demand and supply is essential, not only in the first career choice, but throughout our lives, as we may need to further adapt to changes in demands and needs over time. There are occupations that require a greater level of knowledge than others, and in addition to personal motivation, it is worth considering how many professionals are needed in a given profession. All of this can in fl uence our decisions, as it is not worth thinking about a career in which we will have a difficult time finding a job later.

When choosing a career, it is important to be aware that building a career is not just the result of a one-time decision, but the recognition of continuous opportunities and how to best adapt to these opportunities.

Uncertainty about which educational institution and career to choose is often caused by a lack of information. This publication provides young people with a real, objective or even artistic viewpoint in their career choice, to draw their attention to the varied and colourful range of study programmes offered by our institution.

We spend 80-90% of our lives in buildings, which means that architecture has a signi ficant impact on our everyday lives. The aesthetic, technological quality and sustainability of these buildings and creating a healthy built environment pose constant challenges. In addition, the correct protection, preservation, and where appropriate, reuse of our built heritage is also vitally important.

We want to reach young people who are interested in architecture, the joy of creation, protecting and making our built environment more sustainable, creating healthy living and working spaces, and facing engineering challenges who want to make an important contribution to our future.

Our students can fully realize these dreams! In our institution, the growth of the future generation of architects is ensured by both the infrastructure and resources available, as well as in the “grey matter” and our innovative educational methods.

I hope to see you soon,

Dr. habil Donát RÉTFALVI Head of the Institute of Architecture

The Institute of Architecture’s mission and unique qualities

The Architecture programmes are offered by the Institute of Architecture. The Institute includes the Department of Architecture and Urban Planning, the Department of Building Structures and Energy Design, the Department of Interior, Applied and Creative Design, and the Department of Visual Studies. All courses in the Architecture programmes are conducted in English. Our mission is not only to impart knowledge to students about structures, materials, or planning, but also to open their eyes to key issues like interdisciplinarity, solidarity, sustainability, high-design, theoretical thinking and a devotion to the built environment.

Our strength lies in our teaching methods; firstrate teaching in small classes combined with individual student tutoring – trying to recreate an architectural enterprise on a natural scale. Most of the courses are taught in small groups and the best students are invited by lecturers to personally take part in their projects so that they can gain practical experience. The school uses teaching methods similar to the internationally renowned Bauhaus School: searching for connections with practical life, crafts and liberal arts. Bauhaus masters born in Pécs include Marcel Breuer, Farkas Molnár and Alfréd Forbát.

Our programmes train students to apply their complex knowledge in the areas of architecture and urban planning, as well as in the multi-faceted field of environment formation in general (architectural design, urban and rural planning, preservation of built heritage, BIM, well-being, solidary architecture, vernacular architecture, parametric design, eco-design, sustainable design, structural design, construction work, management and administration tasks, consulting with authorities, teaching, etc.) It revives and rede fines the relationship between architecture and its co-arts.

In addition to engineering disciplines, there has been a strong emphasis on areas of the arts, including the classical branches of fine arts and applied arts. This strong artistic approach, the small group sessions with the students, have created an architectural direction that takes into account the needs of human nature and strives to create liveable, close-to-human architecture. An essential tool for this approach is the presence of the co-arts .

We know the architecture of the past. We understand contemporary architecture. We work with the architects of the future. We believe in recycling! We appreciate the natural environment!

Marcel Breuer Doctoral School of Architecture

Courses of the Marcel Breuer Doctoral School of Architecture are built on the single-cycle MSc programme in Architecture, the multi-cycle MSc programme in Architecture, the multi-cycle MA programme in Architecture, as well as the single-cycle MA programme in Architecture.

The primary task of the Doctoral School is to provide educational programmes of a high standard in accordance with the requirements of the Bologna system to those leading architects with an MSc or MA degree, as well as to those with an MA or MSc degree in an architecture-related fi eld.

Specific features of the Doctoral School

The Doctoral School will maintain its engagement in the fields of architecture and the protection of national heritage assumed six years ago. The Doctoral School will organise the work associated with the doctoral programme and doctoral dissertation defence within one organisational unit but offering two different programmes:

» DLA programme in Architecture

» PhD programme in Architectural Engineering

Lectures and seminars offered by the Doctoral School can be attended by students of both programmes.

The outstanding teaching staff and the infrastructure of the Pécs Doctoral School help students to engage in creative work, and due to its widespread professional and international relationships the school provides students with all the means necessary for the successful preparation of doctoral dissertations and projects.

Our unique circumstances mean that our undergraduate programmes are taught by staff selected to excel at various fields of art and architecture in a contemporary infrastructural environment. This ensures that students have the opportunity to examine the relationship between architecture and other fields of art and applied arts, and to apply creative methods in the area of architecture. In our Doctoral School at the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology, doctoral studies can be pursued in the fields of ecological architecture, sustainable architecture and the use of new materials and technologies, and with the wide range of engineering specialisations (such as structural engineering, construction engineering, building electricity, information technology, etc.) offered at the faculty, an opportunity is created for researchers to revive traditional heritage protection ideas and methods. The interdisciplinary nature of architecture ensures that it can meet today’s social expectations in planning, research and creative activities.

The Doctoral School cooperates with several Hungarian and international educational and research institutes. We are in the fortunate position of being part of a multi-faculty university which means we have been able to develop a close cooperation with the Faculties of Medicine, Natural Sciences, Arts, Humanities and Economics. The renovation of the University Campus, an important part of the cultural heritage of Pécs, is a testimony to the success of this cooperation, with the Doctoral School being the driving force at both the planning and implementation stage. The establishment of a jointly used research centre, the so-called Science Building, is another prime example of the fruitful cooperation of the various faculties of the university.

Our Doctoral School also cooperates in various fields of expertise with research project groups of the National Office of Cultural Heritage, the Faculty of Horticultural Science, Corvinus University, the Architectural Arts Department, Faculty of Wood Sciences, and the University of West Hungary.

DLA in Architecture

The DLA in Architecture programme of the Doctoral School covers architecture and urban architecture programmes dealing with various aspects of planning (architecture of social spaces, architectural planning and design, production environment planning, residential environment planning, settlement planning). However, these fields are not strictly tied to speci fic topics or building types but are more closely related to the professional and educational expertise and experience of the speci fic teachers and supervisors of the Doctoral School. Our intention is to provide our students with a historical perspective of our heritage, our responsibility towards the environment, and a coherent system of environmental and modern architectural aspects. It is in view of this that special emphasis is put on individual tailor-made curriculum for our doctoral candidates, which is built on the combination of creative artistic-technical activities and scienti fic research in a chosen field, in accordance with the speci fic feature of architecture being a combination of arts and science.

PhD in Architectural Engineering

When the PhD in Architectural Engineering programme of the Doctoral School was developed, we drew on the experience of other Hungarian Doctoral Schools and of the existing DLA Doctoral School. The programme covers aspects of past and modern building materials science, engineering structures and building frames. Furthermore, it also focuses on areas closely related to the programme’s priorities, such as environmental planning, settlement planning and energy design.

In view of the speci fic features of the discipline and the wide range of subjects – that is, the interdisciplinary nature - of the various fields of research, the course curriculum lays special emphasis on ensuring that doctoral candidates gain the necessary knowledge and competence while also catering to their individual research topics. The prime objective of the training programme is to assist doctoral candidates of the school in preparing a dissertation to a high standard and in complying with the requirements of the doctoral degree.

Pollack Expo

This annual event has been organised since 2007 and is held at the Pécs Expo Centre in February or March, hosting 150-200 exhibitors, and 5-6000 visitors. The initiative behind the expo was to offer our students practical know-how that would complement their theoretical knowledge, to meet the major economic players and to learn about the latest trends in their field of study. With the cooperation of each department, the exposition has been extended with international conferences, robot programming and computer assembling competitions, courses organised by the Chamber of Trade and job fairs.
