  9. Semesterschedule • Holidays • University events • Retakedays • Repeatweek • Examperiod

  10. Communication – whoshould I contact? • Lecturer-professor • Wrtcourseschedule, tests, retake/repeat, exam etc. • Vice-dean/coursedirector • Anyspecificeducationalissues; wrteducationalprogress, curricula, requests • Dean’soffice • Only PhD • CentralAcademic Office • Anyadministrativematters; Neptunissues, scholarshipissues, accomodation/dormitory, scholarshipextension etc.

  12. General info • Code of Studies and Exams (kth.bme.hu) • Faculty of Civil Engineering - curriculum (epito.bme.hu) (new BSc program) • Education portaloktatas.epito.bme.hu • Supportfromlecturer/professor • Infosite • Request regarding tuitionfees should be only submitted through Neptun!

  13. Academic honesty, sanctions against academic and exam offences • Code of studies - Title 32 • Checkingidentityatexams, tests • Academic and examoffence • Usingaidsthatarenotallowed • Requesting/acceptinganyassistancefromotherstudents • Changing (orattemptimgtochange) corrected/assessedtests/assignments • Actinginplace of anotherperson • Failingthecourse (no credit) • Professor – Dean’soffice – Disciplinaryprocedure

  14. Repeat period – Dec 16-20 • Missed classes andsome of thefailed tests (should be discussedwithlecturer) can be repeated. • Part of tests can be repeated by paying extra fee. In this case the type of test (written/oral) might change! • Homeworks and assignments can be submitted until Dec 20by paying the extra fee. • Ask the lecturer about the repeat options! • Pre-exams of some subjects can also be taken in the repeat period.

  16. Subject enrolment I. • Starts inJanuary/August, and closes at the end of the registration week (February/August). It’s highly recommended to be registered in the very beginning!Courses with less than 6 students will be cancelled on the registration week Monday! • Clash detection in the schedule is the students’ responsibility. • Having the signature of a subject, its exam course can be taken, no need to attend the classes and do the tests again. • Incase of branch and specializationcourses, thesignaturemight be sufficienttofulfilthepre-requirement. • Courses cannot be changed from the 2ndweek of the semester.

  17. Subject enrolment II. • In case only 3-4 semesters are remaining, it’s recommended to create a subject enrolment plan and check whether all subjects can be passed based on the pre-requisites and minimum requirements. • Special rules for taking projectworks, and rules for taking thesis projects! • Alwayscheck the updated timetable/scheduleon the homepage! • Optionalsubject: e.g. Reinforcedconcretebridges (inthe 6th semester) – alwayscheckwhetheritruns, inadvance! • Foroptionalcourseany BME coursecan be selected, butBScstudentscanselectonlyBSccourses, MScstudentsonlyMSccourses • Cross-semesters • Faculty monitoring • Students’ request • Requestsignedby min. 15 studentsbeforethefinalregistrationperiod • Department is willingto and abletoopenthecourse • Faculty is abletoprovideroomforthecourse

  19. Practicaltraining – technicalinternship • Practical training accomplished at the home country can be approved based on certification that states the student worked at least 4 weeks (forBScstudents starting in 2017 orlater: 6 weeks), and the company works in the field of civil engineering construction. • Positions at Hungarian companies can be applied, in this case BME issues document certifying the student status and the aim of the practical training course. • Infosite • Laboratories and departments of the Faculty can also be asked whether there are a project to join for at least 4 weeks in the summer. • Besidesthecertificate, a ~10 pagereport is to be submitted.

  20. Accreditation, summercourse etc. • Inthe credit systemcreditsfrom civil engineeringprogramscan be accredited/approved. • Coursethatarepreviouslyacceptedbythe BME professor of particular BME coursecan be approved. General rule: around 60-75% thematic overlap and atleastthesamenumber of creditsarerequired.

  21. Diploma project • Supervisor should be found and contacted in the previous semester. • One industrial supervisor is required (ask the BME supervisor for support)! • Co-supervisors can be involved from other departments or even from abroad. • BScfrom 2018 spring • PreparatorycourseforBScthesis project • Bachelorthesis project
