COMP: compulsory; CRITERIUM: compulsory requirement without credit value; SPEC: Specialisation; COMP ELECT: Compulsory elective, the given number of credits must be collected from a list of courses; Free elective: any courses available not overlapping with the compulsory ones.
Language requirements: In general, students must earn an internal language certificate (Chemical Engineering English Language Competences) during the English for Chemical Engineering 1 or 2 courses by passing additional tests. Those who receive the certificate will no longer required to take further English language courses. Students who do not obtain the certificate at the end of English for Chemical Engineering 2 will receive a recommendation from their English teacher regarding which courses they should register for. Once you have obtained the internal language certificate, submit the E024 Neptun request for the accreditation of your certificate (Chemical Engineering English Language Competences). The English courses are also considered among the free electives.
The Hungarian courses are mandatory only for the students supported by Tempus Foundation within the Stipendium Hungaricum or similar programs. The Hungarian language and culture courses are also considered among free electives.
