Short description

The high-standard, full-time Metallurgical Engineering MSc programme provides students with a solid theoretical foundation and focuses on enhancing their engineering skills through the faculty’s strong connections with leading companies.

This well-regarded programme is especially beneficial for future factory or plant engineers, offering in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge in their chosen specialization.

The program is unique, focusing on two specializations: heat treatment and metal forming engineering.

Metallurgical engineers can produce metals and alloys using metallic raw materials and metal-containing waste. They process these materials into products with specific forms and sizes required by the processing industry. Additionally, they create metal components and structures that meet increasingly strict standards.

Specializations

  • Heat treatment and metal forming

Entrance examination

Stage 1

After you submit your application, your documents are checked, to ensure you meet the eligibility criteria. Applications from candidates without the necessary qualifications (BSc degree), language certifications (B2 or higher), or proof of studies conducted in English are rejected. Applications not supported by the sending country are also rejected at this stage.

Stage 2

The faculty coordinator arranges a 15-20-minute Skype-interview for you with the Entrance Examination Committee. During this interview you will be asked to introduce yourself, discuss your BSc thesis briefly, share your scientific background, future goals, and explain why you want to study in Hungary. You can score a maximum of 100 points, but you need at least 65 points to be admitted.

Stage 3

After the Skype interview the entrance examination documents are sent to the Directorate for International Relations.

Career prospects

Metallurgical engineers study the structure, properties and usability of the materials found in our everyday objects and high-tech devices. They examine and classify and develop innovative technologies to process these materials.

Our graduates find employment with successful small, medium and large companies both domestically and internationally. They work in key European industries, including the competitive automotive, heat treating and metal forming sectors.
