Electrical Engineering MSc Programme Description
The program trains electrical engineers equipped with broad general knowledge, technical expertise, and a strong foundation in natural sciences, economics, and humanities, tailored to meet the demands of modern industry at a high level. Through specialization and practical training within the faculty, graduates acquire the skills to engage in creative engineering work.
Building on their education in electrical engineering and professional vocation, graduates are capable of designing, programming, calibrating, quality-controlling, and testing devices and systems. They can also participate in installation and operational procedures and manage services and products.
Electrical engineering is a highly sought-after profession worldwide, offering excellent opportunities to quickly secure a job aligned with your interests and expertise. Upon graduating with an MSc (Master’s degree) in Electrical Engineering, you will also have the option to pursue further studies at the PhD level.
Programme structure:
Students will obtain 120 credits
Main training areas:
Basics of Natural science: 28 credit points
Economics and Human Knowledge: 8 credit points
Basics of Professonal of Electrical Engineering: 22 credit points
Subjects for specialisations 36 credit points
Optional subject 6 credit points
Thesis 30 credit points
Total: 120 credit points
Teaching at the university is conducted in three different forms: lectures, seminars, and laboratory practice. Attendance at seminars and labs is strictly regulated by university rules; absence over 30% of classes entail a ban from examinations. There are two ways of assessment. A practical mark is awarded at the end of predominantly practical courses, and are solely based on a student’s term-time progress. An examination is required at theoretical courses, which can be taken in the exam period. In Hungary, a 5-point grading system is used. 1 is the only failing grade. There are only whole numbers in grading.
Description of the Hungarian grading system:
5 – Excellent – outstanding performance with only minor errors
4 – Good – generally sound work with a number of notable errors
3 – Satisfactory – fair but with significant shortcomings
2 – Sufficient – performance meets the minimum criteria
1 – Fail – considerable further work is required
Evaluation methods beyond the scope of the university regulations described above are at the lecturer’s discretion. The list is long, but the most common ones are
● mid-term and end-of-term written tests,
● project works,
● reports,
● mini-lectures,
● homeworks,
● oral presentations, etc.,
or any combination of them. There are no fixed percentage categories for different grades, but most commonly 50% is required for a pass. Normally, one retake is offered for a missed assignment. Term-time requirements with course syllabi, as well as dates and deadlines are listed in a document by the lecturer, and made public on the faculty website before the start of the semester.
The evaluation of progress is checked in the following ways:
a) during the semester with written or oral presentation, written test, or assessing home assignment,
(plan, measurement minutes etc.), with practical mark or signature,
b) passing a pre-examination during the semester,
c) passing an exam or a comprehensive exam in the exam period and
d) with final examination.
a) Final completion certificate (absolutorium) granted,
b) Degree project /thesis accepted by supervisor.
Admission to a final examination is subject to a final completion certificate being granted. A final completion certificate is issued by a higher education institution to a student who has complied with the study and examination requirements prescribed in the curriculum and completed the professional traineeship required, completion of the degree project / thesis –, and has acquired the credits prescribed.
Length of the traineeship is 4 weeks.”
Short description of specializations in MSc Electrical Engineering at Kandó Faculty
Automation
The Automation specialization aims to provide students with in-depth knowledge in the fields of modern automation systems, control technologies, and intelligent solutions.
During the program, students will learn about the operation and integration of automation system components, the fundamentals of robotization, and the structure and control of electric and hybrid drivetrain systems.
The program places special emphasis on understanding the operation, control, and diagnostics of electronic converters and vehicle electronic systems, as well as on studying intelligent building automation and BIM systems, which represent key areas of modern building management, energy efficiency, and comfort technologies.
Students will also gain complementary knowledge in condition monitoring and diagnostics, electronic transportation solutions, and industrial control systems, providing the competencies necessary for the development and operation of reliable, sustainable, and safe automated systems.
Upon completion, graduates will be able to design, program, optimize, and maintain complex automated systems and drivetrains in the fields of industry, energy, building automation, and vehicle technology.
Communication technologies
In the specialization, students will learn about the design and implementation of media technologies and infocommunication networks, and gain knowledge about modern mobile and optical networks – in master level. During their studies, they delve into infocommunication protocols, their operational connections, and protocol analyses. In addition to terrestrial communication solutions, they also learn about space communication solutions. In this specialization, we examine the basic infrastructure function of infocommunication networks, in a critical infrastructure approach.
Embedded system
Building on BSc foundations, this specialization develops industry-grade embedded engineering skills. Students learn to design RTOS- and Linux-based systems, apply professional software development and testing practices, and use object-oriented programming with and software modeling. The curriculum addresses Industry 4.0 technologies, IoT applications, and safety-critical systems. Electives include IoT security, sensor systems, and embedded artificial intelligence implementations. The resulting skill set is in high demand across automotive, medical devices, telecommunications/IoT, industrial automation, and energy sectors.
Energy
At the MSC level, students can learn more about the elements and operation of the electricity system. After a theoretical foundation, they also deal with electrical network calculation and modeling. They will learn in detail about power plants, the structure and operation of the energy market, energy trading and energy procurement. DC transmission lines, digital substations, and network protection combined with space technology will be presented. They gain insight into the challenges of today’s electrical networks, but also into the modern network management toolkit offering solutions. They will get an overview of the operation and management of other pipeline services, such as water, gas and oil systems. During plant trainings, we visit power plants, substations and control centers.
