Welcoming Enroling Students at the University of Szeged

More than 1200 new foreign students for the Academic Year 2024/2025

The University of Szeged has been offering international programs since the 1980s. Currently, 20 percent of students come from abroad, representing 130 countries. 1200 foreign students will start their studies at the University this academic year. Both foreign and Hungarian students have the chance to engage with diverse university communities and take part in international events throughout the year.

This year, the University plans to admit approximately 800 self-financed international students. The majority of these students come from China, Germany, Turkey, and Iran, but there are also students from Israel, France, and Iraq. The most sought-after fields of study among international students are medicine, dentistry, economics, law, humanities, and science and informatics.

Traditionally, during the first week of September, the Directorate for International Affairs and Public Relations at the University of Szeged holds a 3-day orientation program to assist newly enrolled international students. The 2024 SZTE Freshmen Orientation Days, which took place between September 3-5, were once again a huge success.
