The Rejtő Sándor Faculty of Light Industry and Environmental Engineering at Obuda University is pleased to welcome Erasmus program students from various countries around the world. These students will participate in the faculty’s diverse educational programs for the upcoming semester and have the opportunity to experience Hungarian culture and language.

The faculty’s international students come from a variety of countries, including Spain, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, and Turkey. The majority of these students are enrolled in product design engineering, environmental engineering, and light industry programs.

The faculty’s leadership and instructors are committed to providing a meaningful and enriching experience for the students. In addition to expanding their professional knowledge, students will have the opportunity to participate in various cultural programs, excursions, and sporting events.

“We are delighted to welcome so many talented and motivated students from Europe and Asia,” said Dr. habil László Koltai, Dean of the Rejtő Faculty. “We are confident that the experiences gained through the Erasmus program will have a long-term positive impact on the students’ academic and personal lives.“

The Erasmus program is a European Union initiative that enables students to study in another country for a semester or a year,” said Norbert Berecz, the Erasmus student mentor, who, together with Ildikó Pásztor, the Dean’s representative for educational affairs, held an orientation program for the students at the RKK. During the presentation, the mentor stated, “The program aims to strengthen international relations, promote cultural diversity, and support students’ professional and personal development.“

The Erasmus program not only provides significant benefits for students but also for the university. The presence of international students enriches the faculty’s community, brings new perspectives to education and research, and contributes to the faculty’s increased international recognition.

The Rejtő Faculty’s past achievements have demonstrated its commitment to fostering international relations and supporting student mobility. The RKK aims to continue welcoming more students through the Erasmus program in the future, and also provide opportunities for Hungarian students to study abroad, taking advantage of the Pannonia program.

Two talented Serbian PhD students, Branka Ružicic and Biljana Pećanin, visited the Rejtő Sándor Faculty of Light Industry and Environmental Engineering at Obuda University to participate in a study visit and expand their professional knowledge.

Branka Ružicic is a doctoral student at the Faculty of Technical Sciences, University of Novi Sad, researching Graphic Engineering and Design. Biljana Pećanin is a doctoral student at the Faculty of Physics, University of Belgrade, specializing in condensed matter physics and statistical physics. Both were born in Banja Luka and are currently pursuing their doctoral studies in Serbia.

The purpose of the study visit was to provide the students with new perspectives and experiences in the Hungarian higher education and research environment. They were welcomed by Dr. habil Róbert Németh DLA, an associate professor at Obuda University, who introduced them to the university’s research areas and laboratory facilities.

During the visit, the PhD students attended professional lectures, participated in laboratory tours, and engaged in consultations with the university’s faculty and researchers. They had the opportunity to learn about Obuda University’s research projects and gain insight into Hungarian research culture.

The Serbian students expressed that they found the study visit very useful and greatly appreciated the professional knowledge and support of Obuda University’s faculty and researchers. They expressed hope for future collaborations with the university.

The study visit contributes to strengthening international relations between Obuda University and Serbian universities, as well as promoting scientific and cultural exchange.

The diplomas were presented to the graduates of the English-language industrial product design program at the Rejtő Sándor Faculty of Light Industry and Environmental Engineering of Obuda University in a ceremonial setting. The event was attended by the faculty’s leaders, instructors, and the graduates’ families and friends.

At the beginning of the graduation ceremony, Dr. habil. László Koltai, Dean of RKK, greeted those present. In his speech, he praised the achievements of the graduates and emphasized that the university is proud to have such talented and diligent students.

“You have worked hard over the past years, completing numerous exams to reach this milestone. Your perseverance, diligence, and creativity have paid off. We are proud of you and we are confident that you will be successful in your profession,” said the Dean.

After the welcoming speech, the graduates were able to receive their diplomas. The diplomas were handed over by the Dean of the Rejtő Faculty and the Director of the Product Design Institute, Dr. Edit Csanák DLA, who said in connection with the ceremony: “I am particularly pleased that our English-language training was so successful. This proves that our training is internationally competitive and our students can find their place anywhere in the world.“

At the end of the ceremony, the graduates took the engineers’ oath before the faculty management. After that, they thanked the university, the instructors, and their families for their support. Several of the new graduates emphasized that during their years at the university, they not only gained professional knowledge but also made friendships that would last a lifetime.

The graduation ceremony was a memorable day for the graduates. The university management and instructors congratulated the new graduates and wished them every success in the future.

The visit of international students within the framework of the Ceepus RS-0704-12-2324 (Umbrella) – Research and Education in the Field of Graphic Engineering and Design program to the Rejtő Faculty of the Obuda University was a great success. The aim of the program was to harmonize research and education in the fields of graphic design and engineering.

As part of the program, Katarina Maričić and Teodora Gvoka, MSc students from the Department of Graphic Engineering and Design at the University of Novi Sad, arrived at Obuda University. The two students worked together with Dr. habil. Róbert Németh, associate professor, and got acquainted with the latest technologies and developments of the faculty.

During their visit, the students had the opportunity to get to know the work of the faculty’s teachers and researchers. The joint work resulted in numerous new ideas, and the students gained valuable experience in the intersection of graphic design and engineering.

Regarding the visit, Dr. habil. László Koltai dean emphasized: “The Ceepus program plays an important role in enabling universities and research institutions in the region to cooperate and work together to develop various scientific fields. The Rejtő Faculty of Obuda University is committed to such cooperation, as it contributes to increasing the institution’s international recognition and provides new opportunities for students to learn and develop.”

The cooperation between the two universities will continue in the future, as both parties are interested in ensuring that students acquire the most up-to-date knowledge and work with the latest technologies.

The Rejtő Sándor Faculty of Light Industry and Environmental Engineering at Obuda University successfully hosted its 15th International Council of Environmental Engineering Education (ICEEE) online conference, themed “Global Environmental Development & Sustainability: Research, Engineering & Management” with a special workshop on Environmental Health and Climate Change.
