- Training programmes
-
The more than 300 training programmes cover almost every field of science and art. The reputation and popularity of the university is enhanced by the great number of foreign students attracted to us by the courses held in foreign languages, the various exchange programmes and the 20 colleges for advanced studies. The PhD/DLA programmes are representing the highest level of education.
- International relations
-
The University of Pécs set the internationalization of the institution as a strategic and development priority. As part of this the UP offers more than 100 full and several short training programmes in English as well as in other foreign languages. Beginning in June 2016, short training programmes await foreign students in the framework of a unique summer “trimester”. One of the main objectives of internationalization is to duplicate the number of foreign students studying at the University of Pécs before 2020, so the city of Pécs can become an even more pulsating intercultural centre in Eastern-Central Europe. Thanks to its extensive networks of partnership and exchange programmes with excellent universities in Europe, the United States and Asia, at the moment there are approximately 5 100 foreign students studying at the University of Pécs, coming from more than 136 countries.
- Teaching system
-
Due to the successful implementation of the Bologna education system, students can get involved in a dynamic, interoperable European higher education system. Instead of taking the traditional college and university courses, students first acquire an undergraduate (BA or BSc) degree, and then a Master's degree (MA or MSc). Those students who decided o dedicate some more years to science may apply for a doctoral training (PhD or DLA) as well.
