The Department of Descriptive Geometry at the University of Miskolc teaches across all three engineering faculties and participates in all three levels of education (BSc, MSc, PhD). The subjects taught can be categorized into three groups: traditional descriptive geometry, computer graphics and geometric modeling, and CAD systems. This means that the education covers traditional compass-and-ruler constructions aimed at developing spatial visualization skills and acquiring fundamental geometric knowledge, the computer-aided design and visualization of spatial objects, as well as the technical (primarily mechanical engineering) applications of these skills.

In the past decade, TIOP and other projects have enabled the acquisition of state-of-the-art equipment, allowing the use of not only traditional, tangible models but also various virtual models (holographic and stereoscopic) to enhance spatial visualization skills.

The department is responsible for the Software Information Technology BSc programme. It teaches subjects in numerical methods, optimisation, probability theory, mathematical statistics, design of programming, data structures and algorithms, programming theory, algorithms and computation, parallel algorithms, compilers, information theory, economic models and insurance mathematics.

Educational activity of the Department covers both classical and advanced topics in the field of Analysis and Discrete Mathematics.
Basic courses offered for BSc students of five faculties of the university include Mathematics I, II, and III, Analysis I, II, Mathematics for Economics and Differential Equations.
Courses for BSc specialisations in Computer Science, IT or Oil and Gas Engineering include Discrete Mathematics I and II, Linear Algebra, Elements of Logics, Automata and Formal Languages, Differential Equations and Variational Calculus, and Partial Differential Equations.
Advanced courses offered for MSc students in the three engineering faculties are Differential Equations, Special Mathematics, Discrete Mathematics and CA Systems.
For PhD students the department offers the following advanced courses: Differential and Integral Equations, Modern Analysis, Discrete Mathematics I and II, Dynamical Models in Economics, Mathematical Logic and Applications, Lattices, Concept Lattices and Fuzzy Methods and Numerical-analytical methods for Boundary Value Problems.
The department is responsible for the BSc specialisation in Business Information Technology. Three department professors are core members of the József Hatvany Doctoral School.
