Budapest University of Technology and Economics

The Faculty of Architecture

Architecture education started in 1871 in Hungary, at Royal Joseph University, Department of Architecture and Engineering. Architectural engineering diploma of BME was the first to be accepted by European Union from all Hungarian degrees and our certificate is admitted all over the world. Today, our professors’ works are determinant in the contemporary Hungarian architecture, and many excellent architects take part in our education as external lecturer as well. The Faculty of Architecture at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics focuses on training highly professional experts in architectural engineering who are aware of the social and cultural implications of their profession. Versatility is emphasised so that students will gain fundamental knowledge and abilities in every possible field of architecture and be able to find work in a highly competitive job market, and in any building- or design-related area of consulting, construction, and management. In the early semesters students gain theoretical basis (theory and history of architecture, design, urban design, building constructions, structures, service engineering, building technologies, management etc.).

Since its establishment, the Department of Public Building Design (among the 11 departments of the Faculty of Architecture, within the BME) has been a prestigious intellectual hub in Hungarian architectural education. Our success has always hinged on credible creative activity, the knowledge gained through that and the need and ability to share new findings with others. Generations of architects have been educated in this atmosphere based on trust and defined by a constructive relationship between tutors and students, and many of them have become leading figures and trendsetters in contemporary Hungarian architecture.
