Óbuda University constantly builds and develops a competitive institution of higher education meeting the criteria and regulations of the European Higher Education Area.
Óbuda University is a dynamic and thriving institution located in Budapest, heart of Hungary, heart of Europe. For 132 years of existence, the educational excellence has remained paramount. The history of our institutio...n is spanning over three centuries. Óbuda University was established as of 1 January 2010, as a legal successor of Budapest Tech – and its legal predecessors, namely Donát Bánki Technical College, Kálmán Kandó Technical College, and the Technical College of Light Industry. The fundamental mission of the University is to serve science and the future by transferring and developing knowledge at high standards and by research and innovation.
Óbuda University has an excellent conditions for world-class research and education, a multi-cultural flair in labs and lecture halls and active promotion of international partnerships. The university is a leading institution and an attractive, international place for study and research for many people. Óbuda University maintains wide international relations in 49 countries. We keep contacts with 231 foreign higher education institutions and research institutes. We coordinate several student and academic exchange programs.
As a university of science and technology, Óbuda University is committed to providing a breadth of subjects which allows knowledge to be shared and combined in new ways. With its 6 faculties, it covers an extremely diverse academic spectrum. The services provided by the Óbuda University management team ensure that teaching and research proceed smoothly. The ÓU management is constantly adapting to rapidly changing needs.
The mission of the university is to serve the economy through development and high-level knowledge transfer and innovation. The program of education is balanced to meet the demands of long-lasting basic knowledge, up-to-date professional and practical knowledge, and the application of these. The education process is built on the human relations and cooperative abilities of the students and professors. In this atmosphere students learn civic values naturally, and build them into their own scale of values.
Óbuda University as a determinative participant of Hungarian higher education and engineer education, with its 130 years old traditions and experience, offers a 21st century study opportunity for Hungarians as well as for foreign students. Both the University and its predecessor institutions endeavored to harmonize traditional academic values with continually changing economic situations and to present these expectations in the educational and training opportunities provided.
Based on these, our mission and the main aim of our curriculum is to communicate strong theoretically centered knowledge which can be used directly in real life within the fields of engineering, IT, economics and pedagogy.
Óbuda University offers full academic programs. Students can choose from three academic avenues of study, fourteen bachelor level specialties, ten master level specialties, three doctoral schools and several postgraduate specialist training courses. Our courses are in full time, part time or distance learning structures, some of our bachelor and master courses are also available in English, furthermore there are engineer teacher courses corresponding to our engineer programs.
The effectiveness of our practice oriented training is marked by the positive feedbacks from the labor market as well as by our students’ successes during national and international competitions. I would like to highlight their outstanding achievements at the Spaghetti Bridge Building, Design Challenge Robotics Building, Bosch Electromobil, Mitsubishi-Scholarship, Pneumobil, Shell Eco-marathon, Hajós György Mathematics and PLC Control Engineering Programming Competitions.
Our University highly supports Hungarian education outside the borders of Hungary. We have an engineer teacher training program at the University of Novi Sad, a light industry engineer course on the Bachelor level in Odorheiu Secuiesc (Székelyudvarhely), and soon we will start our educational activities at János Selye University, Komárno.
The Massive Open Online Courses (K-MOOC) program in the Carpathian Basin which opened as part of our University Research and Innovation Center, 1 September, 2014 is considered one of our most major achievements, over the past few years.
K-MOOC members are higher educational institutions of which the educational language is Hungarian. Twenty of the members are located inside Hungary, proper and thirteen outside the borders.. Since the free, credited, online courses at K-MOOC are available in Hungarian this makes the feeling of belonging to the mother country within the Carpathian Basin, even stronger.
For the foreseeing years, based on our traditions and professional results, Óbuda University has an ambitious aim. In creating a new higher educational model, our goals are to form a university which operates as an international educational network, utilizing modern educational methods, offering a higher level of education, resulting in fulfilling the overall needs of industry. Furthermore, we strive to continue our research, development and innovation activities which are internationally recognized. .
We realize this goal within the frameworks of ‘Campus 21’ which is the key project of our institutional development plan for 2016-2020 (for the next four years). The keystone of the strategy is the expectation that our University should be the precedent institution of Hungarian practical engineer training which proves that students with any background can fulfill higher educational requirements and will be successful in life. Beyond the educational content progress, ‘Campus 21’ visualizes significant infrastructural development and modernization for the University students, staff, representative bodies of municipalities and our government.
The most valuable treasure of the University is the student, the most important participants of the student’s trainings are the instructors and the staff of the University. I am convinced that the values, quality and image of the University towards the students and society are determined by the staff, their diversity, their personality, the values of the instructors and non-instructors, their work, their knowledge, their humanity and moreover the overall commitment of the community.
The University leadership – including the rector, as chief executive – considers one of its main roles to create a staff which is committed to this aim, convergent and produces quality results. A staff of which each and every member knows and understands the importance, responsibility of his task and in this way it is possible to create and convey values within the structures of the regular trainings.
