A delegation led by the president and deans of North China University of Science and Technology (NCUST) has paid an official visit at the Rector’s Office on 9 October 2018.

What is a student ambassador?
International Student Ambassadors (ISAs) are current students who act as a link between the university and the outside community. They use their own experiences to give people interested in university life an idea of what it is like to be a student. They assist at a variety of events; their role is to give a fair and accurate representation of the university from a student perspective.
Here are some of the top benefits of becoming an international student ambassador:
Our Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Education and Regional Development organizes five Engilsh-taught courses open for every student of the University in order to help the understanding of Hungarian culture, society and to get a glimpse of the current social and political issues here. You are able to attend these courses for free.
