Green University
What can a university provide its students with?
Generally speaking, universities provide students with knowledge, love of the chosen profession and special attitude to life. These were also our aims when we launched a “greening” programme in our University; and we are fortunate because we can cooperate with a generation which believes that the Earth has not been inherited from our fathers, but is lent to us by our grandchildren.
The use of solar cell energy influences our infrastructure resulting in the saving of tens of millions of forints, while reducing our ecological footprint. The green developments of the Study and Information Centre (TIK), the university buildings functioning on the basis of environment-friendly principles, great success of the use of geothermal energy and campaigns inspiring energy saving and supporting the already widespread use of bicycles are clear-cut examples of our green university programme.
SZTE Experience
Nikki - Faculty of Health Sciences and Social Studies
My name is Nikki and I am from Iran. Currently I am a second year student studying Physiotherapy at the University of Szeged. I really like the Environment of Szeged as it is a true University City where you can meet people from around the world. I consider Szeged as my second home since I have established my own path here and I have a lot of friends who make me feel home. The reason why I came to Szeged is because I was informed by one of my friends about the fact that the University degrees are EU accredited and will help me to reach my goals and open doors for future job opportunities. Once I have obtained my degree, I would like to stay in Hungary and pursue a post graduate program. Later on I will seize the opportunity to gain some job experience in my field here in Hungary before I hold my ground in Europe.
Tamerlan Mendybayev – Faculty of Agriculture
My name is Tamerlan Mendybayev. I am from capital of Kazakhstan, Nur-Sultan. Currently I am first year student at the Faculty of Agriculture. I chose the University of Szeged as my study destination for several reasons: firstly, it is a well-known applied science institution in Europe and the best in Hungary. Secondly, the program is designed with a significant focus on the developing practical skills of the students and there is a University pilot farm where students keen their skills and implement their knowledge in practice. Undoubtedly, University of Szeged is a place where students become professionals in their academic field.
