From Festivals to Festivals in the Spirit of Culture
The core activity of a higher education institution is education, scientific research and artistic work. The SZTE Cultural Office was set up to run university art groups and to encourage creative activities of the university citizens.
The task of the Cultural Office is to organize cultural life at the University of Szeged (SZTE), to coordinate the work of art groups, to cultivate cultural relations within the institution and between the SZTE and the city as well as organizing events. The activity of the office helps to develop the creative capacities of the university citizens.
The Autumn Cultural Festival and the University Spring are both special events of the SZTE. In addition, the Cultural Office announces competitions and workshops for students and employees of the university (in the fields of music, photography, poetry, diary, and drama writing and others) in every semester to urge them to fulfil their creativity. These competitions are important because they make it possible for students to demonstrate their talents in different fields, and they can display skills that would not be revealed otherwise during their studies.
SZTE Experience
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.
Hamza Baniata – Faculty of Science and Informatics
I am Hamza Baniata, a first-year student at the Doctoral School of Computer Science, and I am From Jordan. SZTE is continuously supporting research and it has an internationally recognized, highly ranked group of professors. It also offers courses and research topics that are strongly related to my research field; Cloud Computing, Fog Computing and Internet of Things. All of this motivated me to apply to the University/Department of Software Engineering. Szeged is a calm city, full of love and peace. The University of Szeged is similar to the city, which provides the perfect environment for creation and development. Studying at the university requires a high level of effort, commitment and seriousness. Applying to the university and having these characteristics are my two pieces of advice to prospective students. It is very early to define my future now, but I am planning to apply to a research position in my field after graduation and if I had the opportunity, I would love to contribute my effort and knowledge in advancing such a wonderful and respected university.
