Technikum (Polish education)
For the district of Dunaújváros, see Technikum

Technikum (; Ukrainian: те́хнікум; Polish: technikum) was an institute of vocational education in countries in the former Soviet bloc.

A mass-education facility of "special middle education" category 1 step higher than PTU, but aimed to train low and middle level (depending on profile) industrial managers, foremen, coordinators, technical supervisors etc. or specializing in occupations that require skills more advanced than purely manual labor, especially in high-tech occupations (such as electronics). This category remained in use in post-USSR republics. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union many technikums in CIS countries were renamed to colleges. After graduation from a technikum/college, a student may apply to an institution of higher learning (i.e. university) as a freshman.

Technikum (Dunaújváros)

Technikum is a district of Dunaújváros in Hungary. It is located between Táncsics Mihály and Dózsa György Streets.

Drinking water were ensured from Dunaföldvár and Budapest during the construction works. Decision about the construction is from November 1952. It has similar structure as Dunasor. Works were suspended in 1954, and the planned buildings with socreal facades were not built, because Khruschev did not support this kind of art.

Family residential houses were built with gardens in front of them, and there were avant-corps and arcades on them. These were built with reinforced concrete, with a main wall at the centre from brick. There were numerous designer, for example József Malomsoky, Zoltán Czellecz, Ádám Solta, Ildikó Császár, Kálmán Mészáros, József Tiefenbeck, Tamás Szubi, Gábor Rombauer.
