Higher education system in Hungary Bologna system since 1999 two level (BS., MA. | undivided) credit system 1 credit = 30 student work-hours, <50% university classes, >50% home 30 credits / semester mandatory – optional (elective, facultative) subjects Universities in Hungary national private (foundations, churches) University structure head – rector (academic), chancellor (financial), University Senate schools (faculties) – branch of sciences institutes, clinics – singular or department groups departments – subject (groups) Students national scholarship private (tuition fee) 1st Iranian-Hungarian Rectors' Conference 2019

Perspectives The education system must change, develop continuously The science and technology develop rapidly - the education must not only follow them quick, but also must predict the trends The students change – their basic education, their current and future way of life To improve the financial state of the university Respond to the increased international competition in university education Major concerns of development Quality and efficiency Internationalization Practice orientation - dual systems, industrial connections E-learning Research – basic and applied, R&D 1st Iranian-Hungarian Rectors' Conference 2019

Quality and efficiency To ensure quality and efficiency: Appropriate curriculum keep pace with the rapid development of science and technology based on well defined output requirement – knowledge and skills application of modern educational methods, approximations Good teachers authentic, charismatic personality good didactics up-to-date knowledge and skills, motivation to develop themselves Appropriate infrastructure lecture halls, modern teaching instrumentation teaching laboratories (in campus and collaborations) student facilities (library, sport, housing) Ensuring quality organized quality control / assurance accreditation – local, national, international students’ feedback – anonymous, regular 1st Iranian-Hungarian Rectors' Conference 2019

Internationalization Goals financial… international fame of the university stimulation for up-to-date curriculum, quality assurance broadening the professors’ knowledge and international relations To do comply the curriculum to foreign terminology students of various basic training and culture professors multilingual preparation of teaching aids in multiple languages and terminology adaptation to students of different cultural background and knowledge levels Admittance appropriate marketing recruiting companies entrance examinations preparatory courses (subjects, language, cultural differences) 1st Iranian-Hungarian Rectors' Conference 2019

complying the curriculum to foreign terminology Means complying the curriculum to foreign terminology adaptation to students of various basic training professors multilingual preparation of teaching aids in multiple languages and terminology adaptation to students of different cultural background and knowledge levels Admittance appropriate marketing recruiting companies entrance examinations preparatory courses (subjects, language, cultural differences) Student services multilingual administrators student bodies libraries, recreation facilities alumni program 1st Iranian-Hungarian Rectors' Conference 2019

Practice-orientation Goal: beside providing a sound theoretical knowledge, also developing practical skills of the students – to turn out fully qualified, immediately useful specialists Internal – modern training laboratories, realistic skill labs External - “dual training” – industrial cooperation, real workplace environment factories, pharmaceutical companies teaching hospitals practicing schools courts, administration 1st Iranian-Hungarian Rectors' Conference 2019

E-learning Possibility (technical development) and need (“mass education”) Goals involving the modern technologies (Internet, multimedia, virtual reality), for efficient training at large scale (increasing number of students), without compromising the quality. Means e-teaching digitalized teaching aids (handouts, pictures, animations, multimedia) digitalized aid for skill-developing practices (multimedia, virtual reality) remote consulting – teleconference examination inexpensive, efficient easy to standardize and evaluate avoids subjectivity BUT practical skills 1st Iranian-Hungarian Rectors' Conference 2019

Research work in the universities Goals NOT to train scientists NOT to provide infrastructure for scientist – who do not want to teach BUT to support state-of-the-art, authentic teaching; Scientific activity of the professors supports, motivates, encourages them to teach. No one can be a good, authentic, motivating lecturer, if they are not familiar with, not involved in research at internationally recognized level. Scientists in research institutes – wasting they talent; they don’t share their results, “quarantining” they work, don’t dispend their motivation, attitudes with students. Means encouraging, motivating, supporting the professors to do research, and to participate in international scientific collaborations and conferences maintaining efficient doctoral (PhD) schools establishing and supporting scientific student bodies. not to train scientists but educate professionally better future specialists who are familiar with, and motivated to keep pace with the development of the science “recruitment” of talented professors. Additional benefits of the research work in the universities scientific achievements result in higher esteem for the university applied science (R&D) give financial benefits to the university 1st Iranian-Hungarian Rectors' Conference 2019
