About University of Szeged

The University of Szeged is one of Hungary's most prestigious public universities. Its roots go back to 1581, and its modern development followed the relocation of the University of Kolozsvár to Szeged in 1921. It is based in a sunny university town in southern Hungary. Its academic portfolio covers medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, exact and natural sciences, law, economics, engineering, humanities and social sciences, from bachelor's to doctoral level. Its English-taught programmes, notably in medicine, attract a large international community. The university counts laureates and world-renowned researchers — its former rector Albert Szent-Györgyi discovered vitamin C there — and takes part in major European research networks.
