Curriculum Structure
Year 1-2 (Foundation Building):
You'll kick off with a solid base in core sciences and engineering basics, diving into természettudományi ismeretek (natural sciences, 40-50 credits) like physics and math, alongside introductory mechanics and electronics to grasp how mechanical systems interact with electrical components. Courses such as gépészeti alapok (mechanical engineering fundamentals) and early elektrotechnikai ismeretek (electrical engineering basics) set you up to model simple systems, building confidence through practical labs that mirror industry tools.

Year 3 (Core Mechatronics Dive):
Here, things get exciting as you integrate disciplines, focusing on mechatronikai szakmai ismeretek (mechatronic professional knowledge, 70-105 credits total), with standout modules like robottechnika (robotics) and intelligens beágyazott rendszerek (intelligent embedded systems). You'll learn to program adaptive devices and control movements via teljesítményelektronikai és mozgásszabályozási rendszerek (power electronics and motion control systems), using state-of-the-art labs for prototyping real mechatronic tools.

Year 4 (Advanced Specialization and Capstone):
The final stretch hones your expertise with electives in optomechatronikai rendszerek (optomechatronic systems) and mechatronikai berendezések energiaellátása (energy supply for mechatronic equipment), plus economic and humanities modules (14-30 credits) for well-rounded professionalism. Culminating in a 210-credit thesis project over 7 semesters, you'll design full mechatronic systems—from concept to operation—preparing you to innovate in smart factories or autonomous tech.

Focus Areas: Robotics and adaptive mechatronic devices, intelligent embedded systems, power electronics and motion control, energy supply for mechatronics, and optomechatronic systems.

Learning Outcomes: Gain synergistic integration of mechanics, electronics, electrotechnics, and computer control; design, model, manufacture, operate, and maintain mechatronic systems, devices, and intelligent machines; apply complex scientific, technical, IT, economic, and language skills for tool and process development.

Professional Alignment (Accreditation): Aligned with Hungary's EMMI regulations (e.g., 18/2016 decree standards), awarding a BSc (Bachelor) in Mechatronic Engineering—recognized across EU for professional engineer competency in mechatronics (field code 523).

Reputation (Employability): Our practical, market-driven training—bolstered by modern labs and regional industry ties—ensures strong local placement, with grads excelling in high-demand sectors like automation and automotive, as evidenced by faculty projects with firms like Hajdu Autótechnika and EU-funded initiatives.
