Registration Week and Welcome Festival at Kandó

A new academic year is about to begin at the Kandó Kálmán Faculty of Electrical Engineering, and we are looking forward to welcoming our new students!

As part of Registration Week, we have prepared two important programs for our Electrical Engineering BSc, MSc and Erasmus+ students.

Welcome Festival at Kandó – 4 September 2026

This year, for the first time, Kandó freshmen will also join the Welcome Festival, an award-winning training program run by the Bánki Wellbeing Center.

The Welcome Festival is a shared, personal, all-day experience during Registration Week, designed to help students get ready for university studies, meet their fellow students and become part of the university community.

We believe that university is easier to get through when you can rely on your fellow students. That is why the day is built around shared experiences and small-group activities, giving students plenty of opportunities to get to know each other in a relaxed atmosphere – and hopefully laugh a lot along the way!

📍 Meeting point: TG.F.017, New Building
1084 Budapest, Tavaszmező utca 15–17.
🕣 Meeting: 8:30–8:55

Program:

09:00 – Equal Opportunities / KHÖK / Student Wellbeing / Special Needs Education / Mental Health / Mentoring briefings

A great achievement at the Sambo Grand Prix World Cup

On January 24, the Sambo Grand Prix World Cup was held in Budapest, where Mihály Szabó Tas, a BSc student in electrical engineering at our faculty, represented our university with outstanding results.

He took first place in the 64 kg weight class and second place in the 71 kg weight class in the adult category, proving his preparedness and perseverance in the international field.

The special atmosphere of the competition was further enhanced by the fact that several of his university classmates were there to cheer him on, so the well-known supportive spirit of the Kandó community was evident not only in the arena but also in the stands.

We sincerely congratulate Mihály Szabó Tas on his outstanding achievements and wish him continued success in both sports and studies!

Mission accomplished – Project presentations held successfully

Students running their studies at Mechatronic Engineering MSc training program have presented their work pieces at the open discussion panel held Dec 10, 2025. The course led in Production Technology has incorporated different fields and segments, more challenging and more interesting than ever before.

In this subject, starting from design of complex mechatronical systems, ideas of AI-based greenhouses, and terminating at sorting or balancing robots, a unique opportunity for students was provided to develop both the hard and soft engineering skills, meanwhile, focusing on and leaning on the project-based thinking and methodology.

Being highly motivated and devoted to their self-development,  understanding importance of learning outcomes of the course, students achieved respectful and impressive results, sharpening both their theoretical and practical skills in design of complex systems. Different materials needed and necessary finances were provided by students investing resources into their future engineering carriers.

The milieu inside lectures and labs was motivating and inspiring, ensuring the best conditions for creative and disrupting thinking leading to unique solutions in engineering design.

The course has proven advantages of the bottom-up idea in teaching and education of the future generation of young engineers showing for them importance and beauty of the sciences, emphasizing their social responsibility in creating the sustainable and green world.
