Great community!

The main advantage of this university is the great community we have. With only 200 students every year most of the people know each other, and know where they can get help. We exchange our notes, we help others understand the materials. Better, experienced students give extra lessons for groups totally free if they feel they are behind in the course. Besides this, there are many great opportunities, the university has good relations with different laboratories in Budapest, which helps us find ourselves a fitting place for our thesis. And even the university has it's own amazing labs with amazing scientists, so this is definitely a great place for those who want to do something in research. My only problem is that we study a little from everything, and by this, sometimes I feel like I don't really know everything. But if you are committed enough here, you will definitely find your calling.

Review of Master Graduate

After 2 academic years at GUT, I can say with confidence that I have really enjoyed my time in here! Starting from classes/lectures and integration events to the location of the University, I have been satisfied mostly about everything. I could see that GUT had a very high reputation in terms of labor market for businesses, where representatives of companies and big corporations come to look for new candidates for their organizations by organising job fairs, lectures etc. For example, I had a chance to take part in such a lecture arranged by State Street Bank representatives and passed tests organised later on. As a result, several students and I were granted a summer internship, after which most of us including me continued working there. So, in terms of finding a job while still being a student GUT is highly recommended as most of the professors are flexible when it comes to attendance. Additionally, you can easily integrate by joining Erasmus ;) they always have something planned like party, meetings, games, trips etc. I have met many interesting people/brains/personalities/characters and made many friends. So, I have no regrets at all choosing GUT as a university for my Master's degree! I would make the same choice if I had to choose again ;)

A very practical and productive knowledge

I like the school because of their Technology level. They have a very responsive advanced management system which make students access all their education needs online and with ease. They teach very well to the understanding of the students. It deserves to be an international school. Is really a good school. But the only thing not actually interesting about it is their school fees are high.
