Electrical Engineering Bsc Programme Description
The program aims to train electrical engineers with comprehensive knowledge in technical sciences, natural sciences, economics, and humanities, along with advanced technical skills to meet the demands of modern industry. Graduates gain practical expertise and creative engineering skills through specialized training within the faculty.
With a solid foundation in electrical engineering, graduates can design devices and systems, perform programming, oversee calibration, ensure quality and testing, and contribute to installation and operational processes. They are also equipped to manage services and products in Infocommunication Technologies, Instrumentation, and Automation.
Electrical engineering is a highly sought-after profession worldwide, offering excellent prospects for quickly securing a role that aligns with your interests and expertise. Upon earning a BSc in Electrical Engineering, you will also have the opportunity to continue your studies at the MSc level.
Programme structure:
Students will obtain 210 credits
Main training areas:
Natural science fundamentals: 44 credit points
Economics and humanities: 16 credit points
Professional knowledge in electrical engineering: 81 credit points
Subjects for specialisations: 44 credit points
Optional subject 10 credit points
Thesis 15 credit points
Total: 210 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 6 weeks.
Short description of specializations in BSc Electrical Engineering at Kandó Kálmán Faculty
Automation specialisation
The Automation specialization aims to provide students with comprehensive knowledge of modern theoretical and practical methods in automation.
Throughout the program, students will learn the fundamentals of building and utility automation, programmable control systems, and the design and operation of electric drives and power electronic systems.
Special emphasis is placed on programmable control systems, Building Information Modeling (BIM) systems, their hardware and software components, as well as control and regulation solutions required for the automation of industrial and residential processes.
Students will gain an understanding of the operation of electric drives and power electronic systems, the analysis of their operating characteristics, and the application of diagnostic and monitoring systems, which form the foundation of intelligent maintenance and industrial reliability.
The specialization also includes modern automated manufacturing systems, such as the control of robots and CNC machines, as well as topics related to alternative vehicle propulsion systems, linking the principles of automation with current trends in vehicle industry development.
Upon completion, graduates will be capable of designing, programming, diagnosing, and operating complex automated systems in industrial, energy, and vehicle engineering applications.
Communication technologies specialisation
The subjects of the Infocommunication Technologies specialization give essential information of the foundations and functioning of modern digital communication. This area dealing with the convergence of information systems and telecommunications networks, presenting the creation, transmission and processing of information. This specialization is focusing on the wired and wireless communication networks, including data transmission protocols, network security. During the training, students learn about the backbone protocols of the Internet, the mobile communication technologies and multimedia content transmission methods. Our goal is to provide comprehensive knowledge about the digital communication infrastructure and its applications in today’s information-based world.
Embedded systems specialisation
This specialization introduces students to embedded systems, focusing on system-level thinking at the hardware–software boundary. The curriculum covers sensors and actuators, industrial and field communication protocols, signal and image processing, computer architectures, and MCU/FPGA-based firmware development. Project courses guide students from specification to working prototypes. Graduates are prepared for roles in automotive, medical devices, IoT and telecommunications, industrial automation and robotics, energy systems, and consumer smart devices.
Energy specialisation
We train BSc electrical engineers in full-time and correspondence forms in the practical areas of environmentally conscious energy production and service. In the specialization in electrical power engineering students can get acquainted with the basics of electricity production, transmission and distribution, the characteristics of use, the special equipment and operation of power plants and substations. In addition to the presentation of traditional devices, modern gas turbines and renewable devices play a significant role. They can also acquire important knowledge in the field of industrial energy supply and industrial consumers. In our solar energy laboratories, you can find off-grid and grid-connected solar panel systems, in the data collection laboratory you can find SCADA systems and a grid simulator. After graduation, they can participate in the design and establishment of substations, transmission lines, solar power plants, medium-voltage networks, building installation, and building management systems.
