Kate

,,What initially drew me to the University of Pécs was the affordability—it offered the best value in terms of living costs, housing, and tuition. I also prioritized studying in a location rich in culture and history, and Pécs, home to one of the oldest universities in the world, fulfilled those expectations perfectly.

Pécs is full of hidden gems. If you’re studying architecture, I highly recommend the Architecture of Pécs course. Each week, we took in-depth tours of incredible buildings across the city. I felt like I was always discovering something new in Pécs."

Katelyn Obert, Montana State University, USA, 2024 Fall

 

Rodrigo

,,I was able to expand my horizons and learn about the foreign affairs of an Eastern European country, as well as impulsing my global networking abilities by creating strong bonds with citizens from several countries. I had the privilege of learning from amazing Hungarian, Croatian, Syrian and Kenyan professors.
I was able to live alone for a whole semester, learning daily life techniques and the challenges that a foreigner has to face in a remote country. It wouldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for the amazingness of the city, such as their beautiful landscapes, buildings and late night Ice Creams at Ciao Bella in the city center."

Rodrigo Antonio Juárez Nieto, Tecnólogico de Monterrey, Mexico, 2024 Fall

Daniela

,,Every class I attended was engaging and eye-opening, introducing me to a completely different learning approach. Beyond academics and social life, Pécs itself holds a special place in my heart. Its safe and peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect backdrop for some of my fondest memories. Pécs isn’t just a place to study, it's a place to grow, connect, and create moments that stay with you forever."

Study Abroad testimonial„Studying abroad at the University of Pecs was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I am so glad I was able to partake in! I wasn't sure what to expect when I decided to go to Pecs, but as soon as I got there I knew It was where I belong. From taking classes on the beautiful campus to immersing myself in the unique culture of Hungary, my experience abroad was life-changing. The knowledge I have gained and the friendships I have forged will stick with me for the rest of my life.”
