BME seen from the sky
The direct predecessor of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) is the Institutum Geometrico-Hydrotechnicum, founded in 1782, which was the first institute in Europe to train engineers in university structure.

Faculties at BME and the year of their foundation: Faculty of Civil Engineering (1782), Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (1871), Faculty of Architecture (1873), Faculty of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology (1873), Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics (1949), Faculty of Transportation Engineering and Vehicle Engineering (1951), Faculty of Natural Sciences (1998), Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences (1998).

The university’s fundamental task is to train professionals in the disciplines of technology, information technology, natural sciences, economics, business and management.

BME programmes provide opportunities for Hungarian students to go abroad and, in turn, BME’s foreign language programmes attract an increasing number of students from across the world. Students arriving from foreign countries, totalling nearly 2,300 at present, represent over 13% of BME’s enrolment, and nearly 350 students from 51 countries received their diplomas at BME in July 2024.

EELISA (European Engineering Learning Innovation and Science Alliance) is an association of ten leading universities from eight European countries (https://eelisa.eu/). BME is among the founders of the association established in 2020, and its students may attend the nine European partner universities with Erasmus and EELISA scholarships alike.

Hungary: A country in the heart of Europe

Budapest: Rich historical heritage, multi-cultural present

BME: Tradition – Excellence – Innovation

BME’s mission, inseparable from training and education, is to conduct scientific research which encompasses the three activities required to make up the innovation chain: fundamental and applied research, technological product and service development, and the application of research findings.

The University operates 67 laboratories accepting market R-D orders on a total floorspace of 30 thousand square meters, and houses the country’s largest technical library. The number of teaching staff with an academic degree exceeds 60%, and 200 new doctoral students start their studies every year in our 12 PhD schools. A separate unit coordinates our industrial R+D+I activities. BME has won the greatest number of Horizon Europe grant from Hungary so far, which signals the success of our international research. Priority projects are implemented in 7 national laboratories at BME, where a unique Competence Map helps finding scientific partners (https://competence.bme.hu/).

BME Centre for Innovation Management and Cooperation provides services supporting innovation activities and making them more efficient among researchers and lecturers.

Periodica Polytechnica is the English-language scientific journal of BME Seven faculties publish seven different scientific and engineering journals under the aegis of Periodica Polytech-nica. All online publications are available free of charge.
