European university association EELISA recognises participation in joint educational programmes with the document.
Last Saturday, the graduation ceremony of the Faculty of Chemical and Bioengineering was held, with the best-known recent graduate perhaps being Fanni Garát-Gasparics, captain of the Hungarian women’s ice hockey team, multiple Outstanding Student & Athlete award winner of the BME.
However, the event also provided a novelty: Kata Sára Szabó became the first BME student to receive a diploma supplement issued by the EELISA university association. It is the official document of the mobility programme for an integrated european engineering education which recognises multicultural professional competence.
„The joint educational programmes are very important in the operation of EELISA, founded by ten European universities of technology, and that is why such a document is significant,” Gergely László Vígh, Head of the Directorate for Foreign Language Education, told bme.hu.
The member universities recognise cooperation at three levels, the second of which is the diploma supplement, a document of participation in joint educational programmes – this can be six months spent at a partner institution in the framework of Erasmus mobility or attending several shorter courses. The highest level is the EELISA diploma of joint training (the first one is due to be awarded in Paris in the next few days), and the third is the so-called credential, documenting shorter workshops.
„EELISA’s focus areas include redefining the European engineer, building communities and pursuing sustainable development goals, and the supplement is a recognition of this activity,” said Gergely László Vígh.
