Széchenyi István University’s Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Transport Sciences held its winter graduation ceremony on 17 February. At the event, more than 180 graduates were welcomed as they embark on a new chapter of their lives with their degrees in hand.
The Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Transport Engineering of Széchenyi István University held its graduation ceremony at the Győr City University Hall. At the beginning of the ceremony, Dr János Szép, Dean of the Faculty, welcomed those present. “Our Faculty has developed significantly in recent years. Today, nearly two thousand students study with us across five fields – architecture, civil engineering, transport engineering, logistics engineering, and technical management. International students join us, we run English-taught and double-degree programmes, and our students work in real industrial environments already during their university years,” he stated. He added that sustainability, climate change, energy security, digitalisation, artificial intelligence, and the uncertainty of global supply chains are all issues to which well-prepared, thoughtful and responsible engineers are capable of providing answers.

Mátyás Tutervai, President of the Hungarian Chamber of Architects, advised the new graduates to be proud of earning their degrees, to celebrate, and then consciously to plan the next stage of their lives. As he noted, they have received knowledge from the University that enables them to set out on their path, on which the Chamber will also support them as a partner.
