    required by professional mining, metallurgical and mechanical engineers. In addition to this they are intended to achievethis goal as a part of an educational process and not merely as a preparation for a profession.

    Although engineering is concerned with practical matters high proficiency in engineering calls for a firm grounding in thefield of natural sciences. This provides the foundation on which the building of engineering sciences as applied ones shouldrest. The students taking these courses will therefore find that a lot of time is spent on solving problems on paperemploying the principles of mechanics, physics, chemistry, etc. in mathematical formulation.

    The academic year is divided into two semesters. The first five semesters are devoted to general engineering coursesembodying Mathematics, Physics, Mechanics and Chemistry.

    During the last five semesters various engineering subjects are taught to a high standard. The majority of these subjectsinvolve work on special, smaller projects which are aimed at developing the ability of how to approach, analyse and solveengineering problems. In the tenth semester there are few formal lectures and examinations. Instead, each student has towork on a larger industrial or research project - proposed by a firm or by the department the student belongs to - with theguidance of a member of the teaching staff specialised in that project field. After carrying out the project each studentshould submit a report of thesis containing the resolution. Upon defending his/her thesis successfully in the presence of anexamination committee and passing the final comprehensive examinations the student in awarded the Master of Sciencedegree in engineering.

    Pre-Engineering CourseThe pre-engineering course offered in English is of one years duration. The main objective of this program is to develop a

    command of the working language. A further goal is to bring students up to the level required for academic success in basicengineering subjects. Successful completion of a pre-engineering course will permit the student to join a degree course.

    Financial Means for Living and Studying

    Fees and expenses detailed below are realistic. Since any material uncertainty may endanger the successful completion ofthe course it is worth estimating the financial means needed for living and studying.

    The table below provides and estimate for monthly expenses so as to assist students in budgeting for the academic year.The amounts are given in USD. Precise determination of the living costs is, however, almost impossible because of thedifferences of individual needs.

    Living costs for one person/month:

    Housing (including rent, heating, water and electricity) USD 250Food, clothing, transport and books USD 200Monthly total USD 450

    The University of Miskolc can not provide scholarship or any other financial aids or part time job.

    Medical insuranceAs for medical care there is a possibility of making a national insurance agreement (contract) with the Central Office of

    National Health Service. It will entitle students to medical care and hospital treatment free of charge by paying andinsurance premium of approximately USD 25 per month. This contract is to be made individually in the Central Office of

    National Health Service.
