Documents related to the Thesis:

1. Announcement and selection of thesis topic:

Students can choose from a list of announced topics. A good choice of topic is half the success! It is obligatory to send the name and surname of the student, title of the thesis as well as the name and e-mail address of a supervisor to the administration office of the Savaria Institute of Technology by e-mail (ta@inf.elte.hu). The student is advised to consult all details of the thesis work with the supervisor, who will admit the advisor (consultant) after the topic is submitted/sent to the administration office.

Deadline: Monday of the 14^th week of the semester. (BSc 5th semester, MSc 2nd semester)

2. Enrollment to “Thesis work I” course and appointment of a supervisor and consultant:

The enrollment to “Thesis work I” course occurs at the same time as the enrollment to other subjects of the spring semester. Both the supervisor and consultant are university lecturers and their selection is finalized after the enrollment to “Thesis work I” course.

Deadline: Friday of the registration week (beginning of the semester – BSc 6th semester, MSc 3rd semester)

3. Thesis topic declaration:

The thesis topic declaration (TTD) must be prepared by the student according to the G-1 form, in cooperation with the supervisor and the external consultant. The supervisor, after a thorough check, should return it to the student in PDF format. The TTD contains information about the student, the supervisor, the external consultant, the title of the thesis, and the tasks to be performed during the preparation of the dissertation in points (approximately 5-6 points).

The TTD is submitted in the form of an electronic application via the Neptun interface. In the thesis topic application (in the Neptun), the TTD data must be provided (copying the part below the text “Topic of BSc/MSc thesis including Tasks and sub-tasks), and then the TTD must be attached in PDF form. Given that the Thesis Terms and Conditions are stored in this way in Neptun until the submission of the thesis, it is considered authentic even without original signatures.

Guidelines for TTD completion in Neptun:

You must select “I have an external supervisor”, otherwise only the internal supervisor will appear.
Internal supervisor’s affiliation: ELTE, Faculty of Informatics, Savaria Institute of Technology
Internal supervisor’s work adress: Károlyi Gáspár tér 4, Szombathely, H-9700 Hungary
The position and education of the supervisor: e.g. Full Professor (or associate/assistant professor), Mechanical Engineer, MSc,
The exact data of the supervisors can be found here.
Industrial (external) Partner: e.g. Schaeffler Savaria Kft (not Schaeffler)

The thesis topic application is approved by the supervisor and the program-leader via Neptun. The TTD, approved in Neptun, must be inserted in the thesis as described in the G-2 form.

Deadline: Wednesday of the 3^rd week. (BSc 6th semester, MSc 3rd semester)

You can change the thesis topic until the: 1st of February / 31st of August

Via the IK-Request for changing the thesis topic request in Neptun Administration > Requests. In case of subbmitting the form multiple times the last submitted form is considered valid.

▪ Ifyou would like to change a thesis topic OR supervisor, use the IK-Request for changing the thesis topic request .

▪ If you want to change the thesis topic AND supervisor, use the Thesis topic registration request and make sure that there is at least 6 months between the submission of the request and the Final Examination.

▪ You can only submit the IK-Request for changing the thesis topic request only if you have a previously accepted thesis topic registration.

The Thesis Topic Declaration form is valid for 2 years, after which a new TTD request must be submitted (even if neither the topic nor the supervisor has changed).

4. Thesis consultation form:

The first page of the “BSc/MSc thesis consultation form” (G-3 form) must be completed by the student and sent to the supervisor for approval prior to the first consultation. The corresponding fields of this document (Topic of consultations) should be completed by the supervisor each time while consulting with the student.

5. Confidentiality documentation (if required):

The thesis may only contain information warranting its confidentiality in justified cases. If the thesis can be interpreted without the information warranting its confidentiality, (e.g. personal data can be anonymised), then there is no reason to include such information. (ARS, section 80 (2))

The thesis is to be classified as confidential (encrypted) if it
a) contains business secrets,
b) contains classified information,
c) contains a patent or an invention,
d) contains the personal data of a third party,
e) concerns the University’s business interests. (ARS, section 80 (4))

Encryption (G-4 form) is necessary if the external partner prescribes restricted access to data presented in BSc/MSc thesis.

Documents required for requesting the encryption: IK – Encryption of the thesis in Neptun with the attachment of G-4

Deadline: November 01 or April 01 (last semester)

6. Principles of AI Use in Theses and Dissertations

Generative AI tools can provide useful support for brainstorming, literature searches, creating outlines, generating diagrams, or experimenting with alternative approaches.

The use of AI tools is permitted, provided that:

All AI‑generated content is properly cited (see: Documenting AI Use), including the name of the tool and the role of the generated material in the work.
AI output is used only after critical evaluation for accuracy, relevance, potential biases, and ethical or legal considerations.
AI tools complement (and do not replace) human thinking. They typically assist with routine and search-related tasks. The true value lies in the student’s own creativity, analytical work, and design efforts.
Compliance with data protection, copyright, and ethical guidelines is mandatory. It is strictly forbidden to present AI-generated content as one’s own human work.
Sensitive or non‑public data must not be uploaded to external AI platforms. (For example, drafts or completed versions of theses that require confidentiality must not be uploaded to any AI platform, not even for rephrasing or grammar checking!)

Documenting AI Use

Within the text of the thesis—similar to scholarly citations—AI citations must be inserted ({AI‑1}, {AI‑2}, …).

AI citations may be placed:

in the first sentence of a paragraph if, for example, the claims in that paragraph were created using AI (and critically reviewed by the author), or if the entire paragraph was rephrased using AI;
within any later sentence, if the result of AI use affects only that specific sentence.

AI citations must never appear in a chapter title or after a sentence-ending dot.

It is advisable to record the citations immediately after using AI, because forgetting to reference AI‑generated results—or using such material without proper attribution—constitutes presenting it as one’s own intellectual work, which is treated the same as plagiarism.

After the “References” section, an “AI Usage Log” section must be included, listing all AI citations.

Format of the AI citation:

AI‑1 purpose of use; method of use (description of input and output); name of the platform used.

The signed “DECLARATION ON THE USE OF AI TOOLS” (G-6 form) must be submitted with the thesis!

7. Literature review on the topic related to BSc/MSc thesis in the frame of “Thesis work I” course:

To accomplish (obtain a signature in Neptun) the “Thesis work I” course, the following conditions should be fulfilled:

participation in at least four consultations;

Credit transfer

If you have studied at another university, you might choose to ask for the acceptance of courses you previously completed there. You have to report your claim of credit transfer upon your registration for the upcoming semester (until the end of the registration period) at the course coordinator.

Please note that you can only try to get accepted 120 credits at most.

Usually, a course can be accepted if it has a similar credit number and mostly the same topics as our relevant course. We will need to see your transcript of records, and the descriptions of the courses that you would like to get accepted. These have to be official documents issued by your previous university, and if they are not in English, we need an official translation as well.

You have to fill out the following credit transfer form: ATTACHED credittransfer

Here is an example of a correctly filled out form (the parts that the student filled out are emphasized with red):

ATTACHED credittransfer_help

If you cannot fill out something (because you don’t have a Neptun code yet; or there were no course codes at your former university; etc.), then you can leave that part empty, but otherwise try to fill it out as precisely as you can. In the “Exam / Practical mark” column, write E if it was a lecture-type course with an exam at the end, P if it was a practical course with tests during the education term, and E+P if it was a combined course of the two parts. (These are the types of courses that we have here at our faculty.) If there was no such differentiation between courses at your university, just write E.

In the “Grade” column, you should write the grade that you received on a 5-grade scale. If you had a different grading system (you don’t know how to convert to the 5-grade scale), ask your previous university for an official conversion document.

Please fill out the form electronically, and keep the format in docx, so that we can make modifications if necessary. Beside docx, save it also in pdf. Make sure not to mess up the formatting. If you need more than 10 lines for your courses, then just insert new lines. At the singature, print your name and send it from your e-mail address registered in Neptun or your e-mail address used during the application process in case you haven’t got a NeptunID yet.

Filling instructions, suggestions:

Check your curriculum on www.sit.inf.elte.hu. Compare your previous and current courses: descriptions of the course, weekly hours, credit number. Min. 75% of the topics need to be the same.
More previous courses can be counted into one current course and vice versa.
In case of Elective courses: list the completed courses on the left side of the form and write only „Elective course” on the right side of the form with similar credit value.
In case of Optional courses: list the completed courses on the left side of the form and write only „Optional courses” on the right side of the form with similar credit value. On Computer Science BSc, max. 10 credits of optional courses can be accepted. In case of Optional courses no description is needed.
The credit value of a course cannot be divided.
If there were no credit numbers at your former university, write the weekly hours instead.

What you need to send to the coordinator (ta@inf.elte.hu):

Credit transfer form in docx (Name_NeptunID_Credittransfer.docx)
Credit transfer form in pdf (Name_NeptunID_Credittransfer.pdf)
Official transcript (Name_NeptunID_Transcript.pdf)
Official description of the relevant courses (Name_NeptunID_Descriptions.pdf)

Send every document to the course coordinator by email from your registered e-mail address until the deadline. Coordinator will get in touch with you about the preliminary evaluation of your request, and if necessary, some modifications will be made. After that, the final document will be examined by the faculty’s Credit Transfer Committee, who will make the final decision. The whole process usually takes at least a few weeks, during which time you can already visit the classes that you want, and later we will handle the Neptun registration.

Non-dual Internship

THE UNIVERSITY WILL NOT RECOGNIZE WORK STARTED WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL BY THE VICE-DEAN OF EDUCATION AS PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE!

IMPORTANT! Please submit your documents only once! Proceding time won’t be quicker in case you send them many times, it just makes the procedure slower. In case you need to resubmit something, please indicate the difference and the reason of change.

BSc Mechanical Engineering for students in traditional training
MSc in Mechanical Engineering for students in traditional training

Schedule of the internship

Completing the internship is a necessary condition for obtaining the diploma. The necessity of this Internship is regulated by the law of Hungary, specifically the Annex I. of the Government Decree 289/2005. (XII.22.)
You may start your internship after the second Active semester in the BSc/MSc programme.
Do not leave the selection of your internship place to the last minute! Without accomplishing the internship you cannot sit for the Final Examination or graduate! It is recommended that you schedule it after the second or fourth active semester.
It is the student’s responsibility to meet the deadlines and agree on the location and schedule of the internship.

The purpose of the internship; competencies

The aim of the internship is to carry out activities corresponding to students’ study program at a company, where they can:

get acquainted with the professional work at a company,
get involved in their daily work, to solve the task entrusted to them by their professional leader
gain experience in the labor market.

Competences that can be acquired and developed during the internship:

General competencies: punctual, precise work depending on the nature of the tasks, independently or in a team, communication in a professional language.
Professional competencies: applying the engineering and IT knowledge acquired during their studies in practice, acquiring new knowledge.

Place for internship

Find a suitable company for the internship: You can choose from a wide variety of companies where you can do Mechanical Engineering-related tasks under the supervision of a professional mentor who accepts your supervision. If you would rather work through an intermediary company, you can inquire about the available opportunities at the School Association as well.

1. Initiating a Cooperation Agreement between the University and the employer

Make sure to have a valid Cooperation Agreement between the University and the company you will accomplish your internship at:

The chosen employer can hire you as an intern if a Cooperation Agreement is signed beforehand between the University and the company or – in case of mediation – with the School Association. A Cooperation Agreement is mandatory, even if you already had an employee legal status at the company before starting your internship.
The Cooperation Agreement does not necessarily have to be signed right before starting your internship. Currently, we have already established valid Cooperation Agreements with multiple companies. For further information inquire at the chosen emloyer or via the okt_asszisztens@inf.elte.hu e-mail address.
The Cooperation Agreement is a contract between the employer and the University. You do not have to sign it. Your task is only to make sure that the Agreement is signed and valid before you start to work as an intern. Contact your future superior or HR to initiate the Agreement directly by contacting the University via okt_asszisztens@inf.elte.hu and ta@inf.elte.hu
The University and the employer are legally obliged to sign a Cooperation Agreement. We recommend you to not to start your internship until you have a signed, valid Cooperation Agreement. In case the Cooperation Agreement does not go through, we cannot accept your internship! In addition to that, in case of haphazard labour control both – the employer and the university – can be called to account legally.
Until there is not a valid Cooperation Agreement, the employer cannot issue the Declaration of Acceptance.

About the Cooperation Agreement

By concluding the Cooperation Agreement, the employer acquires the status of a professional internship location, which entitles the company to accept our students for internships.
Our students cannot fulfil their internship with an employer that does not have an agreement in force. The agreement must also be concluded in the case of an already existing employment relationship or an internship abroad.
The employer does not have to conclude the agreement with the University only if the student wishes to do an internship through the mediation of a School Association. In this case, the University accepts the agreement between the employer and the School Association.

The administration of the Cooperation Agreement

The deadline to submit the Cooperation Agreement 15 days before starting the internship at the latest.
We can accept the Cooperation Agreement if and only if it is filled out fully and properly and signed by the person authorized to represent the company in the following formats and ways of submission:
In an e-mail in PDF format send either
- the document with the digital signature of the person authorized to represent the company
If the representative of the company signs the document by hand, it is mandatory to have the document stamped. In this case submit two original copies (minimum 2) in either of the following ways:
- Submitting In person: In the Southern building’s (1117 Budapest, Pázmány Péter sétány 1/C) Northern reception (you do not have to request an appointment). Kindly submit the document in a closed envelope and write the following note on it: “To Krisztina Orbán Educational Assistant“
- By postal services (with advice of delivery service only) to the following address: Eötvös Loránd Tudományegyetem Informatikai Kar, Tanulmányi Hivatal, Orbán Krisztina, H-1117 Budapest, Pázmány Péter sétány 1/C, office 2.316/A, Hungary

Of the documents received as a hard copy the University keeps an original copy for the Archives, the rest will be delivered by postal services (with advice of delivery) to the employer after the dean has signed it.

2. The employer issues the Declaration of Acceptance which has to be accepted by the University

Please note that the date of the Declaration of Acceptance cannot be before the date of the Cooperation Agreement and it cannot be later than the date of starting the internship.

Submit the Declaration of Acceptance form issued by your future employer:

By submitting this declaration your future employer (company) lets the University know, that it would like to hire you for an internship within the framework of the Cooperation Agreement. The University has to accept the place of internship beforehand, therefore the declaration has to be submitted before starting the internship either by you or by your future employer!
On the declaration form, the company declares the timeframe of your planned internship and what kind of tasks you will get, who will assist you in the implementation of the tasks.
The declaration will not be accepted automatically by the University. The University consents that you accomplish your internship at the chosen company only if the University finds that the company fits the requirements. Do not start your internship before you receive a feedback e-mail that your Declaration of Acceptance form has been accepted. If your form gets denied, your work will not be accepted as an internship. If you start your internship before your Declaration of Acceptance gets accepted you risk this.
Send the document to okt_asszisztens@inf.elte.hu and ta@inf.elte.hu e-mail addresses If you send the Declaration of Acceptance form, it will be sent back to your employer after the representative of the University has signed it. You will be informed regarding the status of your Declaration via e-mail, once you receive the e-mail feedback you may start your internship.

The Declaration of Acceptance

The internship has to be announced to the University in advance.
The Declaration of Acceptance is an official way for an employer to let the University know its intention to employ you as an intern which the university accepts/denies.
The Declaration of Acceptance has to be submitted to the 15 days before the start of the internship at the latest. The vice dean of Education will sign the document before the start of the internship.
Keeping track of the deadlines and the arrangement and coordination of the internship place and schedule is your responsibility.
Submit the Declaration of Acceptance in a single .pdf file to the educational assistant with
- a digital signature or
- as a document filled in on paper signed with a digital authentication (ex. DocuSign, registration with company email address) or
- as a document filled in, signed and stamped on paper and scanned (there is no need for the original hard copy for the administration)

3. Starting the internship

You can start your internship once you receive a feedback e-mail that your Declaration of Acceptance form has been accepted.

To accomplish your internship you have to work at least the following working hours:
- Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering: 480 hours
- Master of Mechanical Engineering: 160 hours
Internship can also be carried out during the study period, if the academic obligation allows (class attendance is mandatory), for a maximum of 20 hours/week.
The internship does not need to be done continuously; if required, the 480 working hours can be completed in 2 separate parts, even with 2 separate employers.

4. At the end of internship the employer issues the Reference Letter

The employer confirms the completion of the internship to the University on the Reference Letter.

Submit the Reference Letter as a single .pdf file to the educational assistant. The original document is not needed for the administration, the signed and stamped form scanned in colour is suitable.
The deadline to submit the form is the 30th day after finishing the internship, BUT in case you intend to graduate in the same semester, the deadlines are the following:
- the 5th of December
- the 31st of May.
If you complete your internship during the holidays or in the exam period, in case the Reference Letter submitted by the 31st of August the internship will be registered for the Spring semester, in case the Reference Letter is submitted by the 31st of January, the internship will be registered for the Fall Semester.
If you do not submit the Reference Letter within the 30 days deadline, the Education Office will transcribe a late fee every week until the form is submitted (HUF 3000 /week, maximum HUF 30 000)

5. If everything is correct, the University accepts and administrates the accomplishment of the internship

Please note!
The accomplishment of the internship can be administered only in case of an Active status in Neptun!

Submit the Reference Letter

On this form, the employer verifies how long you worked for them as an intern, what tasks you were given, and how you completed them. You must also evaluate your own internship work on this form.
Based on the employer’s and your assessment, the University decides whether it can accept the internship as a performance.
The Reference Letter has to be sent to the educational assistant via e-mail either by you or your employer.
You will not receive the document back, after signing it, it will be sent to the Registrar’s officer, who will register the accomplishment of the internship in Neptun. At the end of the exam period check your Neptun, the administration of your internship has to be completed by then.
You do not need to inquire about the acceptance of the Reference Letter. If something is wrong, we will let you know.
Make sure that the reference letter arrives at the University no later than the 30th day after the end of the internship! If you send the document later than this, the University will charge a late fee based on the current fee schedule. If it is too late, it may even happen that we will only be able to administer the internship for the next active semester.

Acceptance of project courses on Mechanical Engineering MSc training

If you have completed “IK-SEK22GMPGEN Project” & “IK-SEK22GMP2GEN Project 2” subjects of your curriculum these subjects can be accepted as an accomplished internship. In order to request these subjects to be accepted as an accomplished internship please fill out the request in Neptun:

IK – Accepting laboratory courses as internship

In our experience it is difficult for international MSc students to find a suitable English-speaking internship place, therefore we highly recommend accomplishing an internship with project subjects.
