Course Enrollment and Semester Guidelines

STEP 0: Prerequisites

Before enrolling in the course, students must:

Have completed at least 130 credits, AND Be enrolled in a specialization, Register for the Project Work course in Neptun.

STEP 1: “ORDERING” THE PROJECT – Forming the Team, Choosing a Topic and Supervisor

Students must:

Form 3-member project teams, Choose a project topic (goal), and Select a supervisor (instructor).

Interdisciplinary teams (students from different majors, specializations, or study formats) are allowed.

For available topics and supervisors, refer to: Topic Suggestions & Supervisors

STEP 2: DEFINING THE PROJECT – Document Creation and Submission

Initially, students and their supervisor jointly define the project scope and task. After this, the students represent the supplier side, while the supervisor represents the client.

The Project Initiation Document (PID) must be created, including:

  • Project title and basic info
  • Team members and supervisor
  • Project goals
  • Justification (Why is this project necessary/important?)
  • Scope
  • Roles and responsibilities
  • Original signatures of all participants (students and supervisor)

Original paper version with signatures submitted by the deadline to the Project Work Coordinator, (alternatively, place it in the mailbox in front of Room 106, Building C, Tavaszmező Street Campus)

Scanned/digital version (via mobile phone is accceptable too) must be uploaded to Moodle

Topics may only be changed once, with supervisor approval and by Week 4 of the semester, through resubmission of the PID.

Failure to submit the signed, original PID on time will result in removal from the course.

STEP 3: PROJECT PLANNING – Document Creation and Submission

Students must create a Project Plan describing how they intend to complete the chosen topic/goal.

Identify at least 10 main tasks, which may be broken down into subtasks.

These tasks must relate to the students’ university curriculum as follows:

Deliverable: Project Plan
