This programme is intended for students who want to become more experienced in the design, construction and maintenance of the infrastructure, more specifically transportation systems, roadways, railways, foundations, and earthquake engineering. The programme allows the student to focus on either transportation infrastructure or geotechnical engineering, or both.
Structure of studies
The total number of credits needed to complete the programme is 90 credits. The courses of the programme are divided into three categories: compulsory courses (60 credits), thesis courses (20 credits) and elective courses (10 credits). 1 credit equals one ECTS credit, and 1 credit is defined as 25 student working hours.
Language requirements
TOEFL 513 / IELTS 5.5 /oral examination, TOEFL IBT test score of 66 or any standardised international English language exam corresponding with Hungarian B2 at the Bachelors level and C1 at Masters level.
If there is no standardised English exam, the University relies on an online interview. Applicants not complying with language requirements must enrol in a preparatory language programme. After having completed the language course and passed the requisite final examination, if there are no professional reservations on the part of the Faculty, admission to the selected Bachelor's programme is automatic.
Academic requirements
Completed and signed application form, copy of your passport, notarized copy of Bachelor’s degree relevant* to the Master's studies, notarized copy of the Transcript of Records, notarized copy of your language certificate, recent photograph, Curriculum Vitae (resumé) in English, Motivational Letter in English, Academic Reference letter in English (Issued by your former academic institution/teacher)
