The Budapest University of Technology and Economics ((ハンガリー語:Budapesti Műszaki és Gazdaságtudományi Egyetem'' or in short ''Műegyetem)), official abbreviation BME, is the most significant University of Technology in Hungary and is considered the world's oldest Institute of Technology which has university rank and structure. It was the first institute in Europe to train engineers at university level.〔http://www.moveonnet.eu/directory/institution?id=HUBUDAPES02〕 It has been founded in 1782. More than 110 departments and institutes operate within the structure of eight faculties. About 1100 lecturers, 400 researchers and other degree holders and numerous invited lecturers and practising expert specialists participate in education and research at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Approximately 1381 of the university's 21.171 students are from 50 countries abroad. The Budapest University of Technology and Economics issues about 70% of Hungary's engineering degrees. 34 professors/researchers of the university are members of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Training courses are provided in five languages: Hungarian, English, German, French and Russian. The ECTS credit system was introduced in 1995. This helps students to enroll in the student exchange program of the European Union, the Socrates (also known as Erasmus), and earn a double degree through the Top Industrial Managers for Europe network. ==History== *1635 – Péter Pázmány, Primate – Archbishop of Hungary, founds the first Hungarian University of the New Age at Nagyszombat *Late 18th century – The University moves to Buda and becomes the University of Buda. *1735 – The "Berg-Schola," the world's first institute of technology, was founded in Selmecbánya, Kingdom of Hungary〔http://oldwww.uni-miskolc.hu/uni/univ/booklet/MandU.html〕 (today Banská Štiavnica, Slovakia) in 1735.

It is among the first institutions in Europe, to train engineers on university level. *1901 – Royal Joseph University is entitled to confer the doctoral degree, "Doctor Rerum Technicarum." *1910 – The university moved to its current site near Gellért square (next to the Art Nouveau Hotel Gellért). *1925 – First women students enroll. *1934 – The university was reorganized again as Palatine ''Joseph University of Technology and Economics'' and it played a dominant role in the interwar industrialization process, together with engineering and economist training in Hungary. *1939 – The Institute for Continuing Education opens its gates. *1949 – The name "Technical University of Budapest" becomes official. At this time the university consists of the faculties of: Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Architecture, Chemical Engineering and Electrical Engineering (in historical order). *1955 – Faculty of Transportation Engineering is established. *1956 – The 1956 Hungarian Revolution was partly launched by students at the university, followed by many professors. *1967 – The two technical universities seated in Budapest were merged to form the Technical University of Budapest, with six faculties. *1984 – Instruction is offered in English as well as Hungarian. *1994 – The Technical University of Budapest is among the first universities in Hungary to introduce the credit system. The university applies the credit assignment according to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) in its accredited academic programs. *1998 – Faculty of Natural Sciences and Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences are established. *2000 – The official name changes to Budapest University of Technology and Economics. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Budapest University of Technology and Economics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
