Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) will provide credit transfer on behalf of AIT. BME is one of the largest universities in Hungary, founded in 1782 as the first engineering institution on university level in Europe.

Academic courses will meet twice a week, for two hours per occasion. Hence the 7-week courses typically correspond to 2 academic credits, and the 14-week courses equate to 4 credits in most North American colleges and universities. (Humanities courses meet once a week for two hours throughout the semester, corresponding to 2 credit course requirements.) Credit transfer is subject to acceptance by the student’s home institution.

The average student load per semester equals 20-22 contact hours per week (typically resulting the same number of credits in 14 weeks).
