Bachelor of Science Degree Program

Computer Engineering Curriculum

Introduction
The program aims to qualify computer science engineers with solid engineering skills who are competent to
install and operate technical IT and information infrastructure systems and services, and also to design and
develop data and program systems. This means that graduates are expected to use both software development
methods and development tools, involving modelling, simulation, performance, and reliability of systems.
Students will be able to do programming in an object-oriented and visual programming environment.

Main training areas (210 credit):

Natural science fundamentals 40-45 credits
Human and economic subjects 15-25 credits
Professional core material and specific 100-150 credits
professional knowledge
Fee Elective subjects min. 10 credits

Preliminary course schedule
The following diagram shows the structure of mandatory subjects of the programme. Those subjects of the study
plan are not presented below that have no mandatory preliminary conditions for enrollment.

Due to the fixed structure of the subjects of specializations, further preliminary conditions may be requested in
the Neptun Study Administration System.
Project subjects can only be taken in a fixed order of semesters, which means that Training laboratory can only
be followed by Project Laboratory and then BSc Thesis project. These subject can be both taken in spring and
fall semesters.
Certificate of adequate English knowledge, enrollment for specialization and Thesis project is also based on
preliminary conditions (the so-called milestone requirement of the programme).
 Certificate of adequate English knowledge issued by BME GTK Centre for Modern Languages
o It is a requirement to obtain the certificate by the end of the second semester and is also a
condition of further studies
 Specialization enrollment conditions
o at least 90 credits are completed
o all courses of the first and second semesters are completed
o at least 20 credits of the third semester are completed
o Mathematics comprehensive exam is completed
 Thesis project enrollment conditions
o at least 174 credits are completed (up to 10 credits free electives)
o all courses of the first four semesters are completed
o all specialization courses are completed

Human and economic science
The subject block of human and economic science consists of two parts:
 mandatory subjects
o Management and Business Economics (BMEGT20A001)
o Micro- and Macroeconomics (BMEGT30A001)
o Business Law (BMEGT55A001)
o English for Electrical Engineering and Informatics 1. (BMEGT63EEI1)
o English for Electrical Engineering and Informatics 2. (BMEGT63EEI2)
Students, who started the program before 2019 can substitute the English for Electrical
Engineering and Informatics 1. - 2. subjects (BMEGT63EEI1 and BMEGT63EEI2) by elective
Human & economic science subjects (min. 6 credits altogether).
 Two elective human and economic science subjects (min. 4 credits altogether).
The list of human and economic science elective subjects is available on the Faculty’s website

Mandatory English language subjects

Two mandatory language courses have been introduced in the first and second semesters in order to reinforce
effective learning (BMEGT63EEI1 English for Electrical Engineering and Informatics 1. and BMEGT63EEI2
English for Electrical Engineering and Informatics 2.)
Students are assigned and registered for courses centrally by the language institute, so it is unnecessary to
register in Neptun while deregistration of such courses is not allowed. The fulfilment of the English course is a
must in the first two semesters of the BSc programme to students who do not have a certificate of adequate
English knowledge issued by BME GTK Centre for Modern Languages. Please note that no other language
certificates are accepted. It is a requirement to obtain the certificate by the end of the first year and is also a
condition of further studies. To obtain the language certificate, you need to:
 Fulfil the requirements of the pre-engineering English course at an adequate level
 Fulfil the requirements of the BSc English course in the first semester at an adequate level
 Fulfil the requirements of the BSc English course in the second semester at an adequate level
Students obtaining the English language certificate by the beginning of the given semester must select elective
economic and human subject instead (3 or 6 credits altogether).

Specialization
Specializations start every fall semester, and the selection of specialization is always at the end of the 4th
semester. At the end of the spring semester (after the end of the exam period) the students who have met all
criteria for the enrollment to specializations forward their preferred order of specialization to the Faculty. The
decision on the type of specialization and the placement of students depends on the number and the results of
applying students, and the faculty teaching capacity.

Project subjects
Within the frames of specialization students take so-called project subjects from the 5th semester beginning with
Training laboratory, then Project laboratory in the next semester and finally BSc Thesis project. As each subject
is based on the other one, this is the strict order of enrollment. However, they can be both taken in spring and fall
semesters.
During classes, students solve more challenging technical problems (projects) either in groups or individually. A
topic may cover different fields of science (in which the subtasks are specifically designed for each subject).
Students can only take project subjects after being enrolled in one of the specializations.

Free elective subjects
Students take free elective subjects for a minimum of 10 credits to widen their knowledge from the list of
available courses announced by the Faculty. The ten credit criteria can either be achieved by any 2-credit or 4-
credit subject combinations.
The list of free elective courses may vary from year to year. The updated list can be found on the Faculty’s
website.

The transition of BSc curriculum from September 2017

The curriculum of BSc programme of electrical engineering and informatics have been slightly modified from
September 2017, which means that the number of credits as well as the codes of certain subjects had to be
changed.
It is the modified curricula, introduced in September 2017, where you will find all the subjects of the given
semester. Students having their signatures from previous semesters should register for the exam course under the
previous subject code.
The only exception is ’Databases Laboratory’ (VITMAB02) of Computer Engineering curricula that was
cancelled due to contracting it with another subject. The ’Databases Laboratory’ (VITMAB02) and Databases
subject (VITMAB00) is substituted by the new Databases subject under the new code (VITMAB04).
 Students having their signatures from ’Databases’ (VITMAB00) from previous semesters should
register for the exam course under the previous subject code (VITMAB00).
 Students having completed or having signatures of the previous Databases subject (VITMAB00) should
not register for the new Databases subject under the new code (VITMAB04). They have to register and
fulfil the ’Databases Laboratory’ (VITMAB02) subject.
 ’Databases Laboratory’ (VITMAB02) will still be announced in the spring semesters depending on the
number of students enrolling for this subject. If the number of student registration is very limited, the
announcement of the previous subject will be unnecessary.
Due to the modifications of the number of credits mentioned above, students may have less or more credits of
certain subjects based on the previous curriculum. In this case, the amount of credits should be added up, and the
difference should be adjusted by selecting Free Elective courses. In other words, students having less credits
should register for more Free Elective courses, students having more credits should select courses from the list of
Free Electives that are worthless credits. The goal is to fulfil the minimum 210-credit criteria of the curriculum
by the end of the programme.
