International Training Programmes International study programmes have been available at the University of Szeged since 1985. International students have the possibility to study at all three levels of training (BA/BSc, MA/MSc and PhD) in subjects such as Medicine, Pharmacy, Law or Economics in a constantly broadening range of training courses. We welcome students of an increasing number of nationalities: in the first semester of the academic year 2013/2014, over 2,300 students of 84 nationalities arrived to study at the University of Szeged.

The best known Bachelor, Master, undivided and Doctoral training courses are the traditional ones in Health Sciences: the Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical programmes provided in English and German. International training courses and specializations (mostly in English, German and French) are offered at the Faculty of Law and Political Sciences, the Faculty of Arts, the Faculty of Economics, the Faculty of Agriculture, the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Informatics and the Faculty of Music.

A high standard of education demands a pleasant environment. The University of Szeged does not have a campus, but in place of that it has a unique charm. In the city centre and across the river, old, eclectic or modern university buildings are to be found around every corner. Our educational, study and meeting point is the University of Szeged József Attila Study and Information Centre, a multiple architectural prize winner, included among the ten most beautiful libraries in the world. This is where the “heart of the university beats”. Besides the construction of this outstanding glass building, a number of development projects have led to the renewal of several university buildings.

The Faculty of Economics is a pioneer of e-learning. Wherever possible, distance learning has been introduced in the training courses for the entire duration of the programme.

The great number of students who earn their degrees here each year all confirm that the University of Szeged is a modern, integrated institution, where talent management is important, where we care for students and where there is a well-constructed, well-functioning method of mentoring. We raise researchers.

We grant degrees to students who we hope will become the best in their profession.

Talent management is regarded as extremely important. We are very proud of the Foundation for the Future of Biomedical Sciences in Szeged, with the help of which talented university and high school students have the possibility to meet international academics, including numerous Nobel Laureates who visit our university.

The Talent Centre, operating at the University since 2010, seeks out and supports talented university students and coordinates talent management programmes. In this field we cooperate with a number of foundations: the Pro Talentis Universitatis Foundation, for instance, searches for and supervises students with outstanding abilities. The devel - opment of both personal and professional competence is considered important by the Foun - dation, and it additionally helps towards the achievement of new, internationally significant scientific results and promotes the recognition of researchers’ results at home.

We pride ourselves on having alumni who cherish their Alma Mater and believe in supporting talent and learning. Since the establishment of the József Sófi Foundation for Talents in Szeged in 2001, the University has granted scholarships worth more than 10 million HUF to students with outstanding scientific and academic achievements. The Sófi Foundation, operating as part of the Talent Centre, not only aims at the moral recognition of students’ research results, but also keeps track of them and assists them in their future careers. The Faculty of Arts, the Faculty of Economics and the Faculty of Law and Political Sciences likewise support their outstanding students with their own scholarship programmes, as do the number of partnering companies of our University that acknowledge the academic achievements, diligence and abilities of talented Hungarian and foreign students with their financial support.
