Aim of the course
The aim of the course is to qualify computer science engineers who are competent to install, develop and maintain technical IT and information infrastructure systems and services, and to participate in the design and development tasks of the data and program systems of those, as well as possess the necessary high-level knowledge to pursue the program at master level.
The technical competences to be acquired
a) knowledge
Their English language knowledge reaches the level of the training, understanding technical literature, understanding and processing technical texts, accomplishing technical tasks where technical qualification can be needed, as well as of continuous self-education. They know the scientific principles and methods (mathematics, physics and other natural sciences) necessary for them to cultivate informatics speciality.
They know how elements of IT hardware and software systems work, the technology of their realisation, the way to solve tasks during their operation, as well as the possibilities to join informatics and other technical systems.
They are in possession of an engineering view and rudimentary knowledge of processing the measured signs, modelling, simulating and regulating systems and networks.
They are aware of the main program paradigms, program languages, development devices. Their knowledge expands on modelling IT systems, forming database systems, constructing, functioning and implementing computer networks, realising user interfaces and graphical applications, features of intelligent systems, peculiarities of mobile application development, managing up-to-date, general operation systems and the viewpoints of IT safety.
They know the important software development methodologies, the labelling system of IT plans and documents.
They manage fundamental data security knowledge.
They know the vocabulary and the peculiarities of IT and engineering in Hungarian and English, at least at a basic level.
b) skills
They make use of scientific principles and methods (mathematics, physics and other natural sciences) necessary to cultivate IT speciality in their engineering work focusing on forming IT systems.
Using the knowledge acquired during their studies, they are able to install and configure computer and telecommunication networks, averting network errors, operating and improving networks.
They are able to develop applications, to program client-server and WEB, mobile systems, to develop multiplatform systems. They are able to develop corporate IT systems and to implement former developments. Using the knowledge acquired during their studies, they are able to specify and realise embedded systems.
They are able to acquire deeper technical IT knowledge by themselves based on their acquired rudimentary knowledge, to process the literature, to solve IT problems connected to the area.
They are able to analyse, specify, design, develop and operate tasks, they apply the development methodologies, troubleshooting, testing and quality assurance procedures.
They collaborate with IT and electrical engineers in the course of group work, and with the representatives of other specialities in the course of requirement analysis of the given problem and solving it.
They communicate in Hungarian and English about technical questions and use the formal language of IT in a creative way.
They educate themselves continuously and keep pace with the development of IT.
c) attitude
They represent the technical principles of engineering and IT authentically.
They aim to understand the full technical system beyond their own work areas.
They are open to learn new methods, program languages and procedures and to acquire these at a skill level.
They are open to learn other technical fields applying IT devices, and to develop IT solutions to them together with other specialists in the given field.
When they are in a decision making situation where complex approach is needed, they make their decision with the overall consideration of the measures and ethic norms.
They understand and feel ownership of the ethical principles and legal concerns of the profession.
They aim for the efficient and quality work.
They bear the safety of their colleagues’ and costumers’ data and information in mind and pay attention to it.
d) their autonomy and responsibility
They feel responsibility for IT system analysing, developing and operating activity individually and in groups.
They reveal the deficiencies of the applied technologies, the process risks and initiate the measures reducing these.
In the possession of expertise their attitude is safety conscious, they bear the potential dangers and attack opportunities in mind and get ready to avert them.

Criteria requirements
Physical education
The fulfilment of a 2-semester physical education is a criteria requirement for each full-time BSc student. The subject is announced in semesters 2 and 3 with 2 lessons/week in the sample curriculum.
Subjects to be accomplished in a foreign language
Each full-time BSc student – with a Hungarian training language – has to enrol for two English or German technical courses as criterion subjects announced by the university and they have to accomplish the prescribed testing. If the student has not accomplished the criterion subject in English, (s)he has to justify his/her basic English language knowledge according to the relevant provisions in the Study and Exam regulations.
Technical language requirements
Each full-time BSc student has to enrol for two English or German technical courses as criterion subjects announced by the university and they have to accomplish the prescribed testing. If the student has not accomplished the criterion subject in English, (s)he has to justify his/her basic English language knowledge. While the student does not satisfy his/her obligation, the final certificate cannot be handed over without proving the language knowledge, his/her student status pauses.
Internship
Internship is a project-structured practice of at least 8 weeks (containing 320 work hours) fulfilled alone or in teamwork at a suitable organization or at the University’s training place.
Foreign language requirements (to obtain a BSc degree)
To obtain a BSc degree it is compulsory to have a state accredited intermediate level complex exam (B2) or a school leaving exam or a certificate equivalent to that.
Verification of knowledge
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) the final exam.
Conditions to take the final exam
a) abtaining the final certificate;
b) thesis approved by a reviewer.
To be admitted to the final examination, you must have obtained a final certificate. A final certificate is issued by the higher education institution to students who have fulfilled the study and examination requirements set out in the curriculum, who have completed the internship, with the exception of the foreign language requirement and the thesis, and who have earned the required credits.
Components of the final exam
The final examination consists of the defence of the thesis and oral examinations in the subjects prescribed in the curriculum (preparation time of at least 30 minutes per subject), which the student must take continuously on the same day.
Courses (groups of courses) covering a total of at least 20 and up to 30 credits may be selected for the final examination.
The list of questions for the oral examination will be sent to candidates 30 days before the final examination.
Candidates will be allowed to start the examination if their thesis has been accepted by the final examination committee with a mark of at least satisfactory (2). The conditions for the correction of unsatisfactory theses or dissertations are determined by the competent institute.
Result of the final examination (F)
The overall result of the final examination is the average of grades obtained for the thesis (Th) and the subjects of the oral part of the final exam (S1, S2,…, Sm):
F = ( Th + S1 + S2 + … + Sm ) / ( 1 + m )
Conditions for the award of a diploma
a) Successful final exam;
b) A complex language examination at level B2 or above in any foreign language.
