Are you interested in green initiatives? Do you want to know more about the practical aspects of sustainability and related aspirations in your immediate environment? This year, the University of Szeged, the University of Miskolc and the University of Sopron launch a joint module, Effective Sustainability, applying an innovative education methodology.

The courses developed by the three universities can be taken as free elective courses by all BA/BSc, divided and undivided programmes, MA/MSc, PhD, full-time, part-time and distance learning students. This means that USZ, UM and US students can study the courses together, regardless of their training programme.

If you choose these courses, get ready for new learning experiences! Theoretical knowledge can be learned in small digital units (so-called learning molecules) that adapt flexibly to your knowledge and learning pace. The practical part of the subjects will be delivered through cooperative projects. In collaborative groups, you can learn while becoming a subject matter expert and gain knowledge creatively, where the emphasis is on collaboration.

Applications are open until September 9, 2026. Each student may apply for a maximum of two courses. Please note: if you are accepted onto a course but do not complete it, this will result in 5 uncompleted credits.

Students at the University of Miskolc and the University of Sopron can apply through this link.

You will be notified about the outcome of your application, as well as any further steps, at the email address you provided, no later than September 18, 2026.Cooperative courses can be registered for in the Neptun system until September 18, 2026.
