General profile: 

Our university in September 2010 offers two one-cycle study programmes, 22 BA/BSc and 5 MA/MSc study programmes. The bachelor programmes (BA, BSc) usually last 6 or 7 terms and – like the college programmes – offer the student an opportunity to immediately continue their studies at the next level . The graduated students can continue their studies in Masters trainings (MA, MSc), which last three or four terms.

At our university the students can choose subjects from other programmes and can study simultaneously two undergraduate programmes. An economics student can enrich his/her knowledge by listening in on law or engineering subjects. In addition to the twelve thousand students attending the university full time there are five thousand students learning in correspondence courses and distant learning courses. Most recently we have begun to offer e-distant learning courses.

Research profile: 

The Faculty of Engineering Sciences at Széchenyi István University has diverse research in applied nuclear physics and chemistry.

Fusion energy production became an exciting specialty of applied nuclear physics in the last ten years. After getting the initial physical problems over, in our days only some technical problems remained, so construction of the ITER, the first experimental thermonuclear reactor could be begun. The present research activities on the smaller fusion devices all over the world help the success of the ITER and education of specialists for the ITER. In cooperation with the Hungarian Fusion Association the main fields of our research are the following:

  • Coordination tasks connecting to the three diagnostic devices constructed by the Hungarian Fusion Association for the new fusion equipment, building in Prague.
  • Modeling of transport processes and signal analysis, in cooperation with the Lausanne Plasmaphysics Research Institute.
  • Co-organizing of the SUMTRAIC International Plasmaphysics Summer School, organized annually.
  • Development of a measuring equipment for the SUMTRAIC Summer School of this year. (After closing the Summer School, the equipment will be implemented on the TOKAMAK in Prague.)
  • Construction of an equipment capable of production of low pressure and low density plasma.
  • Participation in development of a Pan-European fusion education system.
