After her appointment, she said:

„The Faculty of Engineering really means a lot for me. I am so proud that it is my alma mater and I could work for it in this position. The vision is an up-to-date campus, the internationalization, what is evident in the higher education by now and flexibility in the educational portfolio management.

Thanks to the innovations as a dual education, which were started in the previous period led by Dr Bálint Bachmann, we have an opportunity to establish a stronger appearance of our industrial partners regarding their infrastructures, innovations, motivations and cooperation in R+D+I situations.

The strengthening of the international study programs and presences would also represent a catalyst. Due to the results of the cross-border and cross-continental relations and researches, members of students, lecturers and administrative staff are in connection with informatics, engineering and architecture. In the frame of the Modern Városok Program, our Faculty will be extended with two new workshop buildings for the benefit of the growing number of international students”

At now, there are about 2500 students on the Faculty, 350 of them are international students.
