INTRODUCTION OF THE YBL MIKLÓS FACULTY OF ARCHITECTURE AND CIVILl ENGINEERING
History
The predecessor of our institution was established in 1879 as a technical school. Since then it has been training students for a variety of professions within the construction industry. From 1950 it worked as a specialized secondary school while in 1965 it became a higher educational technical school of building. After organizational changes in 1972 the State Presidium founded the Ybl Miklós College of Building with two campuses: one in Budapest (Faculty of Building) and one in Debrecen (Faculty of Sanitary Engineering). The cooperation lasted until 1995. In 1980 the Fire Safety Engineering, - unique in Hungary-, and in 1994 the Construction Management course were introduced. Between 1997 and 2005 the following 3-year courses were accredited by the committee of the Ministry of Education:
- architecture,
- civil engineering,
- urban planning,
- construction management and
- fire safety engineering.
In the 1997/98 academic year we had 701 full time students and 247 part-time (correspondence) students. Responding to the decision of the Hungarian government, from 1 January 2000 we merged with five higher educational institutions:
- University of Veterinarian Sciences, Budapest,
- University of Agriculture, Gödöllő,
- University of Horticulture and Food Industry, Budapest,
