— Note to students on AIT Budapest —
I am writing to encourage you to consider an extraordinary study abroad program, AIT Budapest, for students interested in computing, design, computational biology, and IT entrepreneurship.
The AIT program has a first-rate faculty including professors such as Erno Rubik (inventor of the Rubik’s Cube and recent recipient of the U.S. Outstanding Contributions to Science Education Award), an innovative curriculum including courses such as “Computer Vision for Digital Postproduction” taught by faculty affiliates from Colorfront Studios (recent recipients of an Academy Award for technical contributions), and a guest lecture series that brings prominent speakers to campus.
All classes are conducted in English on AIT’s lovely campus on the banks of the Danube River. Students live in vibrant neighborhoods of Budapest and have ample opportunities to interact with Hungarian students and explore Hungary and the region.
AIT is small and friendly, with typical class sizes of 5-15 students. Recent U.S. AIT students have come from Harvey Mudd College, Pomona College, Princeton University, the University of Washington, Mt. Holyoke, Skidmore College, among others. The program also includes a small number of Hungarian students.
Applications for Spring 2012 are due by November 15. Applications for Fall 2012 are due April 15.
The AIT website and application materials are available at:

Prof. Ran Libeskind-Hadas (ran@cs.hmc.edu) and Prof. Michael Orrison (orrison@math.hmc.edu) at Harvey Mudd College are serving as the North American Co-Directors for AIT and are happy to answer any questions that you might have and/or put you in touch with current and former AIT students so that you can get their impressions directly.
