The University of Szeged is pleased to announce that it is now accepting applications for its international self-financed study programs for the 2026–2027 academic year. Applications for a number of programs starting in Fall 2026 have been open since December 2025, while application periods for additional programs will begin in January 2026.
The University of Szeged has been awarded the title of Charitable University of the Year in recognition of its wide-ranging social responsibility efforts. The distinction reflects a broad spectrum of initiatives, including the Bálint Sándor Wellbeing Program launched in 2025, more than ten active charitable partnerships, volunteer activities in healthcare, education, and mentoring, as well as research addressing urgent social challenges. Established by the Ministry of Culture and Innovation, the award was presented at a gala ceremony held on March 30, 2026, at the Royal Palace of Gödöllő.

Since 2021, Katalin Karikó – widely recognized as a pioneer of mRNA research – has been a distinguished guest at commencement ceremonies across the United States.

The announcement arrived in memorable fashion, presented as a Jeopardy!-style quiz campaign featuring a photograph taken by a staff member of the University of Szeged. With this playful tribute, America’s first research university has already placed the spotlight on Professor Karikó – even before she takes the stage to don the academic robes for yet another distinguished honor.
