Budapest University of Technology and Economics - BME
speciality: Chemical Engineering

I joined the university as it is one of the few in Europe that allowed me to do a bachelors in Engineering in English. I dislike the fact that there’s no extra educational support outside of classes, and the professors usually teach multiple classes and ∴ don’t have the time to be teaching or mentoring out of class times either. I am not too sure how to contact the student union either for extra support. There are no clear course descriptions given at the beginning of the semester so I found myself in shock towards the end when I found out certain assignments or tests were mandatory but it was not mentioned anywhere.
I like that the teaching is in English, and there are so far more written exams rather than oral exams which I think are more fair. The campus is beautiful, well-labelled (on google maps as well) and the classrooms are very easy to find. There are lots of places to study or just sit and hangout with classmates in between classes.

BME is the most recognized technical university in Hungary – as this suggests, the expected level of knowledge can be quite high. Most of the teachers are highly skilled experts in their field and enthusiastic to teach. Laboratories are properly equipped, but there are variations – student labs look a bit old sometimes, but if you start working on a project, you are most likely to work with high-tech equipment if that’s required for your research.
The Chemical Engineering BSc is generally theory-oriented, although there are many lab courses. Digitalization is not a strength of the university. Due to the general features of upper education in Hungary, there is little room for designing a study plan, but you can take student projects for credits.
In general, as a BSc it gave me a good starting point to my career and provided me with solid knowledge in a variety of topics.
