Meet Abdelhafez from the Faculty of Law and Political Sciences

"My name is Abdelhafez Abdelhafez and I'm from Palestine- Qalqilia City in northern part of Palestine. Currently I am pursuing my Doctoral studies at the Faculty of Law and Political Sciences. While searching for a study destination for my PhD, I found the University of Szeged, one of the most famous high ranked universities in Hungary especially in the field of law. I have to admit that I have found exactly what I expected, at the Faculty all the academic staff deal with us as colleagues, they put us on the right track and they are very professional. I Highly recommend students to apply for the SZTE and I would like to tell them that they will not only find a study environment but also they will live in a family-like atmosphere surrounded by kind helpful people, calm and beautiful city and the most important thing the high quality of education. After obtaining my degree, I plan to go back to my country with my experiences in my field of study and with the life quality that I am living here in Hungary."

Meet Litha from the Faculty of Law and Political Sciences

"My name is Litha Xabanisa and I am from South Africa, in a city called Johannesburg. I am currently doing my second year in the MA International Relations program, with the Faculty of Law. I chose the University of Szeged because of its international ranking and the University is one of the best in the country. It also gives me an opportunity to study and work on projects with other international students and this is important for my program. I would advise other prospective students of SZTE to make the best of their time here, attend social events, learn a new language and open their minds to global matters and affairs since SZTE has people who come from all walks of life. Upon completion of my studies I intend on going back to my home country, I believe the skills and knowledge I have learned will be useful in South Africa. My experience in SZTE has really enhanced my knowledge and it has also widened my network."
