— Note to students regarding AIT Budapest —
I am writing to encourage you to consider an extraordinary study abroad program, AIT Budapest, for students interested in computing, design, and entrepreneurship.
AIT particularly encourages and welcomes applicants from the University of Washington. Two UW CSE students attended the program in Fall 2011.
While most AIT students are CS majors, the program welcomes all students with an interest and background in computation. For example, students contemplating their own tech startup or with interests in application areas such as computational biology are likely to find the program compelling and rewarding. CS majors will find that AIT offers a number of courses that are required for their major (e.g., theory of computation, algorithms, and others), making it possible to take both traditional major courses while also taking other courses that are unique to AIT.
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 and current U.S. AIT students have come from a variety of colleges and universities including Carleton, Dartmouth, Grinnell, Harvard, Harvey Mudd, Lewis and Clark, Macalaster, Mt. Holyoke, Pomona, Princeton, Skidmore, Swarthmore, Vassar, Williams, and the University of Washington.
The program also includes a small number of Hungarian students.
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.
My name is Eric Larson. I’m a graduate student in the Department of Electrical and Engineering at the University of Washington. I am part of a UW research team conducting a research project on mobile phone-based pulmonary (or lung) function measurement.
