Fixed group system

♦ Essential guide - Fixed group system ♦

 

 

 

For Preliminary students

  • Fixed groups are set up in the 1st and 2nd semesters.
  • Mandatory Hungarian courses are registered automatically for scholarship holders. Self-financed international students are welcome to join if there is space.
  • If you arrive late for the semester due to visa issues or other vis maior reasons, you can join classes online, until you arrive. Your fixed group spot will be reserved.
  •  All your classes are compulsory, and you cannot deregister.
  • If you would like to retake the preliminary programme, you are free to do so, but let your coordinator know in advance. You will be registered for the fixed group subjects and charged a second registration fee.
  • Please note: you will be automatically registered for your fixed group subjects if, and only if you register for the semester until the 15th of January / the 10th of July. These deadlines also apply for your practice grades to be administered in Neptun. Please check and ensure if your grades are accurate in the Studies > Gradebook menu. You will be registered for the next semester's fixed group subjects based on the grades in Neptun. If you find an inaccuracy, please contact the lecturer. We recommend you check your grades in Neptun regularly to avoid misunderstandings. You will not be registered the follow-up subjects for if the prerequisite(s) grade(s) are not recorded in Neptun by the deadline!

Transferring Credits from Another University

  • If you would like to transfer credits and thus have subjects accepted, inform your coordinator in advance. The Education Office will review your documents, and once they find everything correct, they will deregister you from the relevant subjects.
  • From the 2nd semester, you will not be registered for subjects through the fixed group system, but you will need to register for them individually, by yourselves.

Continuing to the Bachelor’s Programme

  • We recommend that you complete at least 18 credits before you move on to the BSc programme. You will be recommended to continue on to the BSc programme based on the subjects you have completed. Essential subjects include Topics in Mathematics (IP-18fPRETMG, 8 lessons, 8 credits) and Introduction to Computational Thinking (IP-18fPREFICTG, 4 lessons, 4 credits ).
  • If not recommended to continue to the BSc programme based on your achievement in the preliminary, you can still do so, but at your own risk. Our experienced professors can assess a student's capabilities, their advice is valuable and they wish the best for their students. Please note that poor performance may result in loss of scholarship for sholarship holders or additional fees for self-financed students. If you join the BSc programme at your own risk, you will not be registered for your subjects automatically, will not be able to join the fixed group system, and you will have to register for your subjects yourself.
  • Students in the same fixed group will stay together.

For BSc in Computer Science first year (freshman) students

  • All first-year students are assigned to fixed study groups with automatic subject registration, ensuring no schedule conflicts.
  • The fixed groups from the first semester will continue into the second semester.
  • The Education Office will handle the set-up of the fixed groups as well as students’ registration for their subjects in Neptun during the break between the Preregistration and Ranked Registration Period. No further task needs to be done regarding the subject registration. The schedule of the fixed groups will then be visible in Neptun.
  • You cannot deregister from fixed group subjects, but you can request to leave the fixed group system.

Transfer of credits via Credit Transfer:

If you want to transfer multiple credits from your previous training programme via credit transfer, after registrating for the semester (and activating your student status), inform your administrator that you wish to register for subjects individually and request to leave the fixed group system.


For BSc in Computer Science - 2nd semester students

  • Register for the semester by the 15th of January to be included in fixed group, and we will register you for your subjects.
  • Registration for second-semester subjects depends on the completion of the three prerequisites (Basic Mathematics, Imperative programming, and Programming ) in the first semester:
    • If all prerequisites are met, you will be registered for all obligatory second-semester subjects. In this case, do not register for these subjects in Neptun.
    • If 1 or 2 prerequisites are met, you will be registered for those subjects in the second semester where the prerequisites have been completed. Do not register for these subjects in Neptun.
    • If no prerequisites are met, you will be dropped out of the fixed group system, which means that the Education Office will not register you for subjects, but you will have to register for courses yourself.
    • If you did not complete any first-semester subjects in the autumn semester, register for this/these subject(s) yourself in accordance with your fixed group schedule.
  • Register for all the additional subjects (compulsory, compulsory elective, elective subjects, etc.) in Neptun on your own.
