Obuda University – Banki Donat Faculty of Mechanical Engineering
Budapest, HungaryPOTENTIAL — not yet offered / not confirmed
🟡 Partial fit: about 17 English exchange courses, strong on statics, strength of materials, CAD, control and robotics, but nothing in thermodynamics, materials, machine elements, manufacturing, electronics or FEM
English-taught programme: The Banki Donat Faculty's exchange list covers 2023/24/2 to 2026/27/1; every listed course is BSc level, with no MSc course listed. Semester /1 is autumn (Winter) and /2 is spring. Offerings change each year, and 2026/27/2 is not yet published.
Only 7 courses are listed for 2026/27/1: Basics of logistics, Introduction to Mechatronics, Mathematics I, Mathematics III, Mechanics, Optics and OSH safety engineering. The other matched courses were last listed in 2024/25 or 2025/26 and must be confirmed with the faculty. I could not find the Information sheet PDF, so the ECTS values come from the subject pages. Several pages are for the faculty's own students only, so access for exchange students must be confirmed.

Potential matches only. This partner currently has no HMU Mechanical Engineering students / no recognised courses. The matches below are an indicative assessment by the IRO, based on the partner’s published English programme vs the HMU Mechanical Engineering study guide. They must be evaluated and approved by the departmental academic coordinator before any agreement is used.
| Partner course / module (ECTS) | Possible HMU equivalent (ECTS) | Fit | Offered | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mechanics (BTXMNE1BNF) (5) Statics: force systems, equilibrium, beams, trusses, friction, centre of gravity, second moment of area. Listed for 2026/27/1. Matches Mechanics I-Statics closely. | → | Mechanics I – Statics Μηχανική Ι – Στατική (5) | strong | W |
| Mechanics II (Strength of Materials) (BTXMNE2BNF) (5) Stress and strain tensors, Mohr circles, Hooke's law, tension, bending, torsion. Last listed for 2025/26/2 and not yet for 2026/27. | → | Mechanics III (Strength of Materials) Μηχανική ΙΙΙ (Αντοχή Υλικών) (5) | strong | S |
| Control Engineering (BMXIRE4BNF) (4) Laplace transform, state space, time and frequency response, stability, pole placement, LQR, MATLAB, PLC basics. 2 lecture hours plus 1 lab hour. The 2023/24 listing gave 6 ECTS. Last listed for 2025/26/2. | → | Control Theory and Technology Θεωρία και Τεχνολογία Ελέγχου (4) | strong | S |
| Control Engineering (BMXIRE4BNF) (4) Second possible match for the same course, as Automatic Control Systems. The syllabus is modern control theory with MATLAB, so check depth against HMU's syllabus. Choose either 34 or 68, not both. | → | Automatic Control Systems Συστήματα Αυτομάτου Ελέγχου (5) | likely | S |
| CAD systems (BMXSRE4BNF) (4) Feature-based parametric 3D design in Autodesk Inventor. 1 lecture hour plus 2 lab hours. Last listed for 2025/26/2. | → | 3D Computer Aided Design (3D CAD) Τρισδιάστατη μοντελοποίηση (3D CAD) (4) | strong | S |
| Basics of Engineering Drawing (BTEGAE2BNF) (5) Technical drawing, projections, dimensioning, sectioning, fits and tolerances, surface roughness, detail and assembly drawings. This is drawing, not CAD, so it covers only the drawing part of Mechanical Design I/CAD. Last listed for 2025/26/2. | → | Mechanical Design I / CAD Μηχανολογικό Σχέδιο Ι / CAD (5) | likely | S |
| Robotics I. (BMXRTE5BNF) (5) 2 lecture hours plus 3 lab hours. The page has no description, so confidence is medium. Listed for 2025/26/1 and not yet for 2026/27/1. | → | Robotics I Ρομποτική Ι (5) | likely | W |
| Introduction to Mechatronics (BMXMIE1BNF) (4) Introductory overview of mechatronic systems, sensors, measurement, signal processing and software control. It is introductory, so it only partly covers Mechatronic Design. Listed for 2026/27/1. | → | Mechatronic Design Μηχατρονικός Σχεδιασμός (5) | weak | W |
| Introduction to Mechatronics (BMXMIE1BNF) (4) Alternative low-confidence match, because the syllabus includes sensors, transducers and measuring systems. Choose either 80 or 71, not both. | → | Sensors and Measurement Systems Αισθητήρια Όργανα και Συστήματα Μετρήσεων (5) | weak | W |
| Pneumatics and Hydraulics (BMXPHE6BNF) (4) Fluid power actuation, hydraulic and pneumatic circuit design and symbols. This is only a partial fit for Actuators for Mechatronic Systems. The 2024/25 listing (BMXPMY5BNE) gave 7 ECTS. Last listed for 2025/26/1. | → | Actuators for Mechatronic Systems Επενεργητές για Μηχατρονικά Συστήματα (5) | weak | W |
| Mathematics I. (BTXMME1BNF) (5) Engineering mathematics. The page gives no topic list, so confirm the syllabus. Listed for 2026/27/1. | → | Calculus I Απειροστικός Λογισμός Ι (5) | likely | W |
| Mathematics II. (BTXMME2BNF) (4) Engineering mathematics, with no topic list given. Last listed for 2025/26/2. Confirm that the syllabus covers multivariable calculus. | → | Calculus II Απειροστικός Λογισμός ΙΙ (5) | likely | S |
| Mathematics III. (BTXMME3BNF) (5) No topic list is given. Differential equations are likely in the content, but this is unverified. Listed for 2026/27/1. | → | Ordinary Differential Equations Συνήθεις Διαφορικές Εξισώσεις (5) | weak | W |
| OSH safety engineering (BTEMBE3BNF) (4) Occupational safety and health, risk assessment, accident prevention. Ergonomics and legislation are not explicit in the description. Listed for 2026/27/1. | → | Health – Ergonomics – Safety – Legislation Υγιεινή – Εργονομία – Ασφάλεια – Νομοθεσία (4) | likely | W |
| Object-oriented Programming (BMXOPE3BNF) (4) The page has no description. 1 lecture hour plus 2 practice hours. Last listed for 2025/26/1. | → | Computer Programming Πληροφορική (5) | likely | W |

| Mechanical Engineering – practice II. (BGGYME3BNF) (0) Hands-on milling and grinding practice, 2 lab hours, 0 ECTS. It carries no credit, so it is likely not usable. Listed only for 2024/25/1. | → | Manufacturing Processes I Κατασκευαστικές Τεχνολογίες Ι (5) | weak | W |
