Cultural life at the University of Szeged
Our annual cultural festivals offer over 500 programmes on average at more than 100 different venues; 320 participants enter the talent-spotting competitions organised by the university. We have 7 registered amateur artistic groups, such as choirs, theatre groups and symphonic orchestras.
The cultural events organised by the university complement perfectly the wide variety of cultural programmes sponsored by the city, as the festivals also attract audiences outside the university. Since 2000 the Autumn Cultural Festival, and since 2004 the University Spring have been held annually. At these exhilarating events students of the university can demonstrate their talents alongside famous artists at the various premieres, exhibitions and meetings.
The results and rankings of the athletes attending the University of Szeged clearly demonstrate that the institution is an active and successful participant in sporting events organised by universities worldwide. Furthermore, the sporting events that were held over previous years in the city also prove that the University of Szeged is among the best in the management of sports events. All these successes reflect the university’s general attitude, that is, besides scientific results, achievements in competitive and recreational sports are equally important parts of student life.
The events are organized by SZTE Cultural Office.

SZTE Experience
Ahmad Adha - Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences
I am Ahmad Adha from Indonesia and currently a 3rd year student in Theoretical Linguistics PhD program. I chose the University of Szeged (SZTE) as my study destination because it is located in the center of the town and it is also the highest ranked university in Hungary. The university staff and the professors were very accommodating and understanding when I decided to change the program that suits my research topic. I am so glad that I can be a part of my current department, and of course SZTE, since it is also the Center of Pragmatic Research which aims to promote advanced linguistic pragmatic research with international collaborations. After graduating, I wish to continue to work in my academic field as a professor and a researcher. My advice for prospective SZTE students is to choose a university with a good academic reputation that fits their passion.
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.
