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
The English-language BSc programme in Electrical Engineering will launch a new hybrid specialisation from the first semester of the 2026/27 academic year under the name Applied Electrical Engineering.
Due to the structure of the specialisation options in the English-language BSc programme, this will be the only specialisation available. Therefore, students will not be required to rank specialisations. Eligible students will be administratively assigned to the Applied Electrical Engineering specialisation.
The specialisation has a hybrid structure, meaning that it incorporates professional content from several of the previously available specialisation areas. The curriculum includes, among others, topics related to building and public utility automation, infocommunication networks, sensors and actuators, artificial intelligence, electrical energetics, solar power systems, protection against electric shock, as well as data transmission and network technologies.
The aim of the specialisation is to provide students with broader, practice-oriented knowledge in electrical engineering that can be effectively applied in several industrial and technical fields. The Applied Electrical Engineering specialisation develops competences that are particularly important in the design, operation and development of modern building automation systems, intelligent technical infrastructures, energy systems, industrial communication networks, sensor-based systems and applied electrical engineering solutions.
The advantage of the programme is that it does not focus on a single narrow professional field, but rather integrates several related areas of electrical engineering. As a result, students acquire a more flexible professional foundation, supporting their future employment opportunities in areas such as automation, building operation, energetics, renewable energy, infocommunication, industrial systems, technical project work and engineering system integration.
As part of the specialisation, students can further deepen their knowledge through project assignments, giving them the opportunity to apply the acquired knowledge in practice, work on complex engineering problems and participate in professional project work.
During the specialisation, students complete a total of 44 credits of specialisation-related subjects, mainly in semesters 5–7.
