Physicist-Engineer BSc

BME’s Faculty of Natural Sciences launches a new Physicist-Engineer BSc program in September 2023

In response to an overwhelming demand from technology intensive R&D companies in Hungary and worldwide, BME launches a new program to train Physicist-Engineers with strong R&D potential.

Our program focuses on rapidly developing technological areas such as quantum and nanotechnology, data science and artificial intelligence, photonics, quantum optics and materials science, sustainable energetics, and nuclear technology. In collaboration with our industrial partners, we offer worldwide competitive, versatile knowledge in these fields to answer novel technological challenges.

Be a Physicist-Engineer!

Industrial Sector Welcomes Physicist Engineers

“Doktorálásom után helyezkedtem el az orvosi képalkotó berendezéseket fejlesztő Mediso Kft.-nél. A fizikus munkacsoporton kívül a fejlesztés minden területével szorosan együttműködöm, és sokszor a gyártással és a felhasználókkal is közvetlen kapcsolatba kerülök. Fejlesztői munkám mellett a BME orvosi fizika mesterképzésében is részt veszek.””

Nagy Kálmán

“A Paksi Atomerőmű Zrt. reaktorfizikusaként sokat profitálok a BME fizikusképzésén szerzett tapasztalatokból, ahol már hallgatóként részt vehettem szuperkritikus vízzel hűtött kis moduláris reaktorok koncepciójának kifejlesztésében.””

Holl Viktor

“A BME fizikus mesterképzésén szerzett optikai ismereteimre építve sok gyakorlati tapasztalatot szereztem a Semilab Zrt.-nél, ahol félvezetőipari mérőeszközök optikai fejlesztésében vettem részt. Jelenleg a 3DHistech Kft.-nél dolgozom, ahol újgenerációs szkennelő mikroszkópok fejlesztése a feladatom, melyek világszínvonalat képviselnek a digitális patológia területén.””

Kiss Enikő

“A BME-s fizikusképzés után a Caltech-en doktoráltam asztrofizikából. Később a University of Texas at Austin-on a STARFORGE intézetek közötti kutatócsoport egyik vezetője lettem. Megnyerve a NASA Hubble kutatói ösztöndíját, a Harvardon folytatom kutatásaimat.””

Guszejnov Dávid

“A BME-n szerzett ismeretek biztos alapot adtak kutatómunkámhoz, a doktori képzés alatt pedig témavezetőm együttműködései révén a Harvar- don is kutathattam. Később Münchenben, majd a Kaliforniai Egyetem Kavli Intézetében kaptam kutatói állást korrelált kvantumrendszerek elméleti vizsgálata terén.” “

Lovas Izabella

“A doktorim utolsó évei alatt kezdtem el a Bosch budapesti fejlesztőközpontjában elektromágneses kompatibilitással foglalkozni. Jelenleg egy ilyen területen tevékenykedő fejlesztőcsapatot vezetek, illetve Bosch Scientistként az egyetem és a Bosch közti együttműködések elősegítéséért dolgozom.””

Competitive specializations

From Science to Technology

Physicist-engineer students receive a balanced combination of courses on engineering, physics, mathematics, computer and data science, as well as management. Technological aspects are pronounced in the curriculum of Physicist-Engineer students, who receive, however, a stronger education in natural sciences than usual engineering students. This makes them unique and most capable of performing creative and innovative R&D activity in fields ranging from quantitative data science or nuclear technology to nano- and quantum technology.
Data science is one of the most important components of our program: advanced data collection, visualization, and data processing as well as machine learning are parts of the core skills we teach. These can be further developed in our Scientific Data Processing specialization.

Diverse Career paths

R + D experts for innovative companies

We educate creative researchers with a strong multidisciplinary background, and engage them in R&D research of frontline technological companies already during their studies. Industrial and research training is provided by leading national and international R&D companies, such as Siemens, Bosch, Nokia, Semilab, Femtonics, Mediso, and by research institutes with applied science and technology focus.

Study in english!

Advanced scientific communication

All courses are in English, but we offer many possibilities to improve your professional English and language skills. We offer advanced professional English courses for our students (Scientific Writing, English for Engineers, Presentations Skills, Communication Skills). In the first year, students also receive Hungarian lecture recordings and lecture notes, and are also allowed to pass exams and have consultation in Hungarian throughout their studies.
