BSc Chemical Engineering

About the course

An English-taught, on-campus bachelor’s in chemical engineering from the University of Miskolc’s Faculty of Materials and Chemical Engineering. It runs for 7 semesters (210 ECTS) and leads to the qualification Chemical Engineer (BSc). About 60% of teaching is lectures and 40% is practical work.

Entry requirements for Irish students

• Hungary asks for a completed upper-secondary school-leaving qualification, and the programme page asks only for a ‘secondary school leaving examination’. The Leaving Certificate normally meets this, but each university decides. There is no Leaving Cert points or grade conversion. The University of Miskolc publishes nothing specific on the Leaving Cert, so confirm with admissions (apply@uni-miskolc.hu).
• Admission is by a 15 to 20 minute online interview that looks at your motivation, background, scientific experience and English. It is scored out of 100 and you need at least 65 to pass. The programme page lists no specific subjects, but a chemical engineering degree assumes a good grounding in maths and chemistry, so Higher Level Maths and Chemistry would help.
• English: IELTS 6.0 or equivalent (the general application page says at least B2). The university also accepts an official letter confirming your schooling was in English (Medium of Instruction). It does not say whether Leaving Cert English alone is enough, so check before applying.
