BSc Thesis Project

The thesis topic can be chosen from the topics offered by one of the departments of the Faculty (the department responsible for the student’s specialization or subspecialization, if possible), with the approval of the department head.

A topic offered by another faculty, university, or a company (business organization) can be accepted only if the head of a department competent in the topic supports it and assigns a departmental advisor. The external advisor must be an expert with a university diploma or master’s (M.Sc.) degree and must be approved by the department head. The thesis topic shall be chosen and the thesis shall be written so that the work of the candidate can be evaluated without releasing information that violates the interests of the company (business organization).

With the guidance of an external advisor, the thesis work can be conducted at the premises of a company (business organization). If the student must complete an internship for the degree and was an intern at the company (business organization) offering the thesis topic, then the work serving as the basis of the thesis and the work to complete the internship must be well separated.

Thesis work can be carried out abroad as well. In this case, the topic and the tasks shall be confirmed in advance by a department competent in the field, similarly to the case of industrial theses. The thesis must meet the Hungarian requirements. The foreign advisor must write a short report about the candidate’s work and the thesis, and this report shall be submitted to the final examination committee. The thesis written abroad needs to be defended at the final examination, just like theses written in Hungary.

Besides Hungarian, the thesis may be written in any language of instruction at BME (English, French, German, and Russian), depending upon the approval of the departmental advisor.

Two or more students can work on a joint thesis topic (with separate task assignments for each), provided that the work and the results of each contributor can be unambiguously separated. In the task assignment, tasks to be solved individually, as well as those to be solved by other students working on the joint topic needs to be clearly stated.

The thesis must include the student’s statement that it reports the results of his/her own work. In case of joint thesis topics, the subtasks that were not solved individually must be clearly highlighted.
