The Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology of the
University of Pécs is one of the most dynamically developing higher
education institutions in the region. Our range of training programmes
covers virtually the entire spectrum of engineering, information
technology, and architecture. With approximately 3,500 students, more
than 50 years of professional experience, and our renovated and expanded
university campus, and being one of the most colourful institutions and
a leading player in Hungarian technical higher education, we are also a
prominent centre of the country’s engineering life.
Our eight
Bachelor’s programmes cover the fields of engineering and art in
architectural engineering (EN, HU), civil engineering (HU),
architectural design (HU), mechanical engineering (HU), environmental
engineering (HU), electrical engineering (EN, HU), computer science
engineering (EN, HU), and industrial design engineering (HU). Our
Master’s programmes train the country’s best professionals in the fields
of architecture OTM (EN, HU), architectural engineering (EN, HU),
interior and spatial design (EN, HU), architectural design (HU),
computer science engineering (EN, HU), structural engineering (EN, HU),
urban systems engineering (HU), and biomedical engineering, the latter
available only in English for both Hungarian and international
applicants. Starting in autumn 2026, a BSc programme in mechanical
engineering taught in English will be added to our range of courses
available to international students. We also engage our students in
experience-based training, innovative research projects, and small-group
instruction. In September 2015, practice-oriented dual training
programmes were launched with the participation of industrial companies
and corporations within the BSc programmes of Architectural Engineering,
Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering,
Computer Science Engineering, and Environmental Engineering. From 2025
onwards, the dual training programme is also available at Master’s level
and to students enrolled in part-time training. Our postgraduate
specialist training programmes are designed to respond to rapid changes
in market demands.
In accordance with the trilateral cooperation
agreement between PTE MIK, the Hungarian Chamber of Engineers, and
Engineers Europe (formerly FEANI), the University’s technical higher
education programmes are included in the European Engineering Education
Database (EEED) operated by Engineers Europe, facilitating the
recognition of the degrees of international students in countries
outside Europe. The Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes in
architectural engineering are fully and unconditionally accredited by
the UNESCO-UIA International Union of Architects, managed by the RIBA
(Royal Institute of British Architects). Our architecture degree
programme is also a full member of the European Association for
Architectural Education (EAAE).
The 20,000 m2 educational and
research building complex was refurbished in 2007-2008, together with
the on-campus dormitory with double rooms and bathrooms, accommodating
800 students. In 2019, large-scale developments took place at the
Faculty: as part of the Modern Cities Program, the infrastructure was
expanded with two new wings. Architecture studios and open
creative spaces were set up in one wing, while the other houses
state-of-the-art laboratories supporting mechanical engineering
training.
Close contact with industrial and construction
enterprises, as well as events organised in cooperation with partner
companies, help students acquire marketable skills. The Pollack EXPO and
MIK Partners events, which provide platforms for professional
exhibitions and conferences, are examples of such networking
opportunities. Faculty international relations are also developing
dynamically; international short-term programmes and joint graduate
programmes with our partners were added to the curriculum over the past
decade. From 2025, our Faculty has been awarded another prestigious
international recognition: the Huawei ICT Academy Training Centre
Certification.
