UNIVERSITY OF GYOR (SZE), HUNGARY
Széchenyi István University is located in Győr, at the centre of Central Europe’s “golden triangle”. We are halfway between the capital of Hungary, Austria and Slovakia, along highway M15, on the river Danube. The main campus of The University of Győr (Széchenyi István University), situated on the banks of the Danube River and only minutes on foot from the downtown has recently undergone a massive infrastructural renewal including expansion of the University’s student accommodation with the addition of two new high quality and well-equipped dormitories. As evidence of the University’s strong commitment to internationalization, from September 2019, twety-four English-taught programmes at all Academic levels will be on offer. The Bachelor level international programmes include Vehicle Engineering, Logistics Engineering, Civil Engineering, Agricultural Engineering, Food Engineering, Business Administration & Management and a BA in International Relations.
At Masters level, there are programmes in Vehicle Engineering, Civil Engineering, Architecture, Supply Chain Management and Computer Science Engineering, Marketing, International Economics & Business and a choice of MA degrees in Music Performance.
Three of our four Doctoral Schools also propose English-taught programs as follows: Doctoral Programme in Plant, Animal and Food Sciences, Doctoral Programme in Civil Engineering Transportation & Vehicle Engineering and Informatics Sciences and a Business and Management Sciences Doctoral Programme (SzEEDSM). In addition to full degrees, we are launching two other new international postgraduate programmes in the field of Law and Governance, run by the Faculty of Law and Political Sciences.
Our university offers unique training and research in the region, which serves engineering-focused production activities, helping build the North-Transdanubian economy and its social and institutional infrastructure. Our activities provide students with a high-level, professional, and practical education. Graduates are thus able to adapt to the highly competitive and changing marketplace.
We have 45 years of tradition and experience in supporting Hungary ́s leading industries with a strong focus on vehicle engineering, transportation and telecommunication. As a result, our university has become the primary driver of the regional economy provider for the public service sector and supplies the human resources and training needs for the North-Transdanubian region.
Situated halfway along the road between Budapest and Vienna, Győr, with its 130,000 inhabitants, is one of the most fortuitously situated cities in Hungary. Close to the western border, located at a meeting point of major highways, railways, and three rivers (the Danube, Rába and Mosoni-Duna), Győr has for centuries been a strategic point between East and West for travellers in Cenral Europe .
Győr is both modern - with a dynamic industrial base producing an impressive one tenth of the country’s exports - and ancient - the newly restored Baroque downtown of Győr is considered to be a cultural jewel. Notably, Győr is home to the Audi Hungaria Motor Company. Established in Győr since 1993, the Audi plant now ranks as the largest automotive plant in the world, developing and manufacturing engines for the parent company AUDI AG and other companies of the Volkswagen Group.
In the area of university-industry collaboration, Audi Hungaria and the University of Győr are cooperating on a unique project. Starting in 2015, they jointly founded the “Audi Hungaria Faculty of Automotive Engineering” which now boasts six professorships: internal combustion engines, automotive manufacturing technology, complete vehicle development, material science and technology, environmental engineering, logistics and shipping. The company’s specialist involvement at the University of Győr is intensified by the large extent of direct participation of Audi Hungaria experts in lectures and research.
