Our long history started with the foundation of our predecessor, the Faculty of Science and Mathematics in 1921 when the University of Kolozsvár moved to Szeged.

Teaching and research activities are divided between the institutes and departments within the Faculty. We have six institutes, each of which can be regarded as a partially independent teaching and research unit:

• Institute of Biology • Institute of Chemistry • Institute of Geography and Geology • Institute of Informatics • Bolyai Institute of Mathematics • Institute of Physics

There are 7 Doctoral Schools these are: Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Geosciences, Environmental Sciences, Mathematics and Physics. Read more about the Faculty on its website.

Student Services of the Faculty

ESN Mentors, as members of a non-governmental, volunteer-based student organization in Europe, are volunteers who help foreign students settling down in Szeged. They help newly arrived students starting their academic and social life at SZTE and Szeged. ESN and their events bring international students closer to the local community and last but not least, they make friends with them, all in order to provide opportunities for cultural understanding and self-development under the principle of students helping students and to build a more peaceful and unified Europe of tomorrow.

The faculty offers for its students intensive practical trainings, extensive scientific and industrial partnership in the international projects of our institutes, research possibilities in the Szeged Biological Research Centre and collaboration with the ELI-ALPS Laser Research Centre, an integral part of European scientific research institutions.
