The Simonyi Karoly Faculty of Engineering, Wood Sciences and Applied Arts (SKF) has a special place within Hungarian higher education. In addition to the nationally unique wood-related higher education that is offered by SKF and our other technical programs, the applied arts education started in the 1990’s, and the even newer IT training are also important. These three areas – technical sciences, information technology and arts – do not merely co-exist, but complement each other to allow the training of versatile and competent professionals.
