About Széchenyi István University (University of Győr)

With 14,000 students and employing more than 1,200 teaching, research and administrative staff, Széchenyi István University (SZE) is located in North-West Hungary, in the county seat of Győr. This historic city, with a population of 131,000 and an agglomeration of approximately 300,000, is strategically located within Central Europe’s golden triangle, alongside Vienna and Bratislava, capital of Slovakia. As Hungary’s sixth-largest city, Győr boasts a vibrant industrial sector that contributes an impressive 10% of the nation’s exports. Győr’s central location on the continent provides convenient access to numerous regional capitals.

 

SZE’s central campus is situated in Győr, with teaching and research sites in Budapest and two other regional centres. Since 2016, the University has seen a rapid rise in the number of international students, now totalling over 1,000 and representing around 80 nations. Apart from the 200+ Hungarian-taught academic programmes in nine Faculties and four Doctoral Schools, the University offers over 50 English-taught programmes, with STEM disciplines and Business & Economics dominating. Five double-degrees are available in partnership with universities in USA, China, India, Italy and Portugal.

 

The University has enjoyed an organic cooperation with its premium corporate partner, Audi Hungaria Zrt. since 1993. The partnership resulted in the creation of the Audi Hungaria Faculty of Automotive Engineering in 2015. Studies in the field of Vehicle Engineering are a popular choice for international applicants.

 

Adjacent to the central campus in Győr, the recently inaugurated Science Park serves as a dynamic innovation hub. This university-based ecosystem fosters spinoffs and start-ups, provides creative industry spaces, supports incubation activities, and plays a pivotal role in talent development. 

 

The new Med Tech Campus, located in the heart of Győr, is an ambitious three-phase initiative focused on medical education and research. It specializes in areas such as digital dentistry and minimally invasive surgery, bolstered by partnerships with MIT and leading Hungarian healthcare institutions.

 

Outside the city of Győr, SZE’s regional presence extends to ZalaZONE, in the city of Zalaegerszeg, an advanced research and development hub primarily focused on automotive innovation and mobility technologies. The hub collaborates with industry leaders, academic institutions, and government agencies to advance cutting-edge technologies in automotive engineering.

 

At a distance of 30 kilometres from Győr, in the town of Mosonmagyaróvár, is a campus housing SZE’s Albert Kázmér Faculty of Mosonmagyaróvár ( Faculty of Agriculture and Food Sciences), featuring a Smart Farm designed to enhance collaboration in agricultural and engineering research.

 

Additionally, the University has established a strong foothold in the capital with the Budapest Innovation and Training Centre, furthering its mission of education, research, and innovation across Hungary and beyond.

The University boasts seven Competence Centres, organised on a matrix structure and operating in an interdisciplinary fashion across the Faculties. These research units attract external resources in the field of key competences, providing innovation and R&D services for both corporate and public stakeholders. They include the Design Competence Centre, the Centre for Higher Education and Industrial Cooperation, the Agricultural and Food Research Centre, the Management Campus Competence Centre, the Vehicle Industry Research Centre, the Globalization Competence Centre and the Medical Technology Competence Centre.
