What John von Neumann University GAMF Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science does

GAMF (Gépipari és Automatizálási Műszaki Fakultás, now Műszaki és Informatikai Kar) is the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science at Neumann János Egyetem (John von Neumann University), a public Hungarian university headquartered at Izsáki út 10, Kecskemét. Founded in 1966 as a training school for machine manufacturing technologists, it has expanded into a multi-disciplinary technical faculty delivering bachelor's, master's, doctoral, higher vocational, and continuing-education programs across mechanical engineering, vehicle/automotive engineering, computer science engineering, logistics engineering, and — from autumn 2026 — electrical engineering. The faculty also operates specialized research infrastructure including MikroTik Academy (certified networking training), AI/robotics labs, 3D printing and scanning facilities, a digital innovation container (NEUTECH), and a Diode Laser Center, and it maintains R&D service offerings to industry partners.

The faculty serves approximately 4,500 students (2024), including over 200 international students from Mongolia, Uzbekistan, South Korea, China, and the Arab world, and has produced roughly 17,000 graduates over six decades, with approximately 1,300 new students admitted annually. In 2012 it became the first institution in Hungary to introduce Germany's dual training model, building a network of partner companies — anchored by Mercedes-Benz Manufacturing Hungary in Kecskemét — that deliver integrated classroom and workplace learning. Student recruitment is driven by the NEUTECH traveling technology exhibition (8–13 Hungarian cities per year), an annual STEM Academy, open days, a mentor program, and the Informatika.Neked public lecture series covering AI, cybersecurity, software development, and industrial automation.

As a public university faculty, revenue is derived primarily from Hungarian state funding per enrolled student under government financing agreements, supplemented by tuition from international (non-EU) students and fees from continuing-education and professional development programs. A secondary revenue stream comes from R&D services and consulting delivered to industry partners, including multinational companies operating in the Kecskemét region. Distribution is centered on direct on-campus degree delivery at the Kecskemét campus, with supplementary digital delivery for selected programs and lectures.
