Dear Students,
We're writing to let you know about a new and very exciting study abroad program for students with interests in computer science and software engineering.
The program is called AIT (Acquincum Institute of Technology). The campus is on a lovely part of the Danube River in Budapest, Hungary. The program is friendly and intimate, enrolling between 30-50 students per semester, primarily from U.S. colleges and universities and with some Hungarian students as well.
All classes are taught in English by prominent and enthusiastic Hungarian professors. Classes are small (5-15 students is typical) and cover a breadth of topics including:
* Core courses in computer science;
* Elective CS courses such as computer vision for digital film post-production (taught by faculty affiliates from Colorfront, recent winner of a Technical and Scientific Oscar Award) and computational biology;
* Courses in IT entrepreneurship; and
* Courses in design (including a studio course taught by Erno Rubik, inventor of the Rubik's cube).
The program also offers a variety of extra-curricular activities including opportunities to explore Hungary and Europe.
More information on the program is available at www.ait-budapest.com. Applications for Spring 2011 are due on October 15. We hope that you will consider this program for this spring or some future semester.
In the meantime, if you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us (Professor Ran Libeskind-Hadas, hadas@cs.hmc.edu,and Professor Michael Orrison, orrison@hmc.edu ) or the AIT North America office at info@ait-budapest.com .
Best regards,
Ran and Michael
