Outstanding and Exemplary on an International Level as well

The message of Prof. Dr. József Bódis Minister of State for Education, former rector of the University of Pécs to the present Rector and the citizens of the institution

Dear Rector!

Although the state of emergency with regard to the novel coronavirus has imposed additional burden on all participants of Hungarian higher education, the role of universities teaching medicine and the University of Pécs among them, has unquestionably become more significant in the fight against the virus, and their performance has been outstanding and exemplary on an international level as well.

I warmly congratulate the university on their solutions in order to enable the non-Hungarian students to continue their studies. I am particularly glad that you managed to focus on the safety of students again.

Although it is obvious that there are some matters waiting to be resolved, the experts responsible for higher education will do everything in their power to support the international students in their smooth and uninterrupted studies in the 2020/2021 academic year.

I would like to express my appreciation to all staff members and students of the University of Pécs for their efforts for resolving matters of higher education during the state of emergency with excellence.

Prof. Dr. József Bódis

Minister of State, your former rector
