Student Services of the Faculty

Our international students commence the academic year by attending the orientation week organized by the faculty to welcome them. During this week students participate in an intercultural training that prepares them for working with Hungarian and other foreign cultures. They can apply these skills at student dormitories where they might stay as well. Since these only have a limited number of places available, the international staff and their mentors help the students find a flat that they can share with other students, if needed. Besides their coordinators, students can count on their mentor as well, a Hungarian student that helps them with daily affairs and informs them about the numerous activities that our Faculty and city offer. Regardless of the programme they are in, our students may deepen their knowledge of Hungary by attending Hungarian language and culture classes. Our students can also explore the cultural and sports facilities, and they can enjoy the different festivals and concerts in the city.

Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences UNIVERSITY OF SZEGED 2022-2023

Meet Ahmad from the Faculty of Humanities and Scoial 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."
