DarthDemono's Notes for ELTE

ELTE BSc CS Curriculum list

6 min read

ELTE Curriculum taken from Computer Science BSc 2018 (in English, for Foreign Students)

This is simply a MD / HTML version of the ELTE BSc CS Curriculum 2018, so that students can have an easier time using it and making notes / plans based on it. I added a prerequisite tree / flowchart as well. There might be inaccuracies or mistakes so confirm with the main linked pdf just to be on the safe side in case of making some infallible plan. But, for the most part, everything here is taken from an official PDF or webpage.

Difference between Strong and Weak Prerequisite

A prerequisite is a preliminary requirement of a subject that, if it is not fulfilled, you cannot proceed on the subject that is built on it (follow-up subject). We distinguish two kinds of prerequisites: strong prerequisites and weak prerequisites.

The strong prerequisiteThe weak prerequisite
Strong prerequisites are prerequisites without which the the follow-up subject cannot be taken in the next semester, and the follow-up subject can only be registered for after the prerequisite subject has been fulfilled.Weak prerequisites are those prerequisites where the prerequisite and the follow-up subject can be taken in the same semester, but the follow-up subject can only be fulfilled after the prerequisite has been fulfilled. If you do not fulfill the weak prerequisite, the follow-up subject’s grade will automatically be failed/unfulfilled (even if you had passed from the follow-up subject’s exam!)

Difference between Compulsory, Compulsory elective and Free elective (optional) courses

CompulsoryCompulsory electiveFree elective (optional)
These courses provide indispensable knowledge to become a successful professional in your chosen field. You will not be able to graduate without completing these courses.These courses allow students to gain additional knowledge in specific fields, giving them a choice of usually 5-8 courses/study field to suit their interests and to boost their future employment prospects. These courses are categorised into elective course groups (called units) in the following study fields:These courses can relate to all sorts of study fields. Each curriculum contains a certain number of credits assigned to such courses. They are mandatory to complete to graduate but the selection is wide: students can either choose courses from other ELTE GTK programmes than their own, or even any courses offered by the University.
A subject is compulsory if – based on the training and graduation requirements, – its completion is necessary for all students in order to obtain the diploma, and all subjects that are defined as such by the curriculum. The form of the compulsory subject is a class-lecture and/or group work (seminar, practice).Completing compulsory elective subjects are compulsory for students by choosing them from the thematic list offered by the current university schedule at the time.Completing elective subject is compulsory for students through the free subject choosing prescribed by the training and graduation requirements. Students may choose from the whole university’s full offered subject selection.
In the BSC programme you have to complete 180 credits:
Compulsory subjects 127 credits
Compulsory elective subjects 23 credits
Elective subjects 10 credits
Thesis Consultation 20 credits
