BME Student Center The Student Center was created to expand the range of services provided for the students, and to support

the work of the Student Union. It consists of the Támpont Office, specialized in academic advising, the

Career Office, helping in career-planning and job-hunting, and the Cultural Office, managing cultural

programs.

Támpont Office is the name of the office in the Student Center, which is dealing with academic advising, international scholarships, students with disabilities, psychological counseling and allowances and fees. Our goal is to create a safe environment for the prospective and current students by creating and

maintaining different channels of information for them (including: website, newsletter, and others)

combined with help in unique problematic situations, and several free services.

Academic advising The majority of students see us with academic problems. Sometimes they are unsure and can’t decide

who to turn to, where to start the solution. We await you with up-to-date information but in case we don’t

know the answer, we will find it within a short time or let you know which organizational unit is

competent in your matter.

We advise you to look at our „Csatlakozó 2012” publication in which you can

find other important information and advice essential for the start of your

academic career. IMPORTANT! Because of the ongoing legal changes, the

information in our publication can change until September of 2012. Check

www.hirdeto.bme.hu for details.

Támpont website If it’s more comfortable for you then visit our website that always contains up-to-date information:

http://www.tampont.bme.hu. There you will find the academic and financial regulations, and current

procedures. In case you can’t find the answer you are looking for, our colleagues are ready to assist you in

person, via e-mail or over the phone.

Támpont News, Támpont Newsletter Arriving at our website (http://www.tampont.bme.hu/) you will find the Támpont News, an electronic

bulletin board with the latest news about academics, fees, scholarships, international scholarships. If you

would like to get these news in your mailbox, then sign up for our Newsletter.

You can find all the information about the newsletter on the http://www.tampont.bme.hu/ website,

under the HÍRLEVÉL menu.

Psychological counseling Everyone may have a period in their life when some help can be useful. If you have lifestyle, family,

relationship, psychological, sexual, or other problems, that have been causing difficulties for a long time,

or have emerged recently, then come and see us. After arranging an appointment, you have the chance to

talk to our psychologist. You can also arrange an appointment if you simply wish to know yourself better.

A number different tests (personality, IQ, etc.) can help you in this, these can be evaluated here. Our

psychologist handles all your personal information with discretion.

It is important that as a future employee, you have defined goals and ideas, usable language skills, know
