Always timely
Coursera is the world's largest online education platform, where the best universities - including Yale, and the University of Michigan, and the world's leading companies such as Google and IBM - offer more than 8,000 courses in 19 languages. As a result of the cooperation between Coursera and the University of Szeged, Szeged students can access these course materials and a certificate certifying course completion for free.
Coursera's courses consist of smaller units, "weeks", offering both video and text teaching materials. In addition to practical tasks, peer evaluation tasks (students of the course evaluate each other's work based on specified criteria) and forums also belong to the curriculum. With the course materials, each student can progress at his own pace, with the intensity that his free time allows.
Coursera for SZTE is now available with a user interface in Hungarian, and Szeged students can complete more than 2,500 courses in their native language. To obtain extra credits, students only need a Neptun code, which they can use to log in to the interface.

SZTE Experience
Ahmad Adha - Faculty of Humanities and Social 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.
Ferdous Rahman – Faculty of Law and Political Sciences
My name is Ferdous Rahman and I am from Bangladesh. I am pursuing doctoral studies at the Department of Private International Law at the Faculty of Law and Political Science under the Stipendium Hungaricum Programme. Currently I am in the first year of my four-year PhD programme. I came to know about SZTE while exploring for the Stipendium Hungaricum programme. Among the other available options, this was my first choice. Apart from its excellent ranking, I got my supervisor with similar research interest. The increasing number of international students gave me a comfort of having a cosmopolitan environment. After starting my studies here in September 2019, I am convinced that I could not expect more. For prospective students, I would advise that SZTE can be their next home as I got mine. Everyone here including the professors, the administrators, and the students are very friendly and helpful. They make studies a joyous journey instead of pile of classes and books. After my graduation, I will return to my home country. The knowledge and the experience that I have been receiving here will be a great resource for my academic career. I intend to continue my research further and expect to contribute to policy formulation at national and international level."
