Student Organizations

The University Student Union (EHÖK in Hungarian) is responsible for student affairs at the university level. They represent the students’ interests
In the highest decision-making bodies, they
manage the university-level scholarships, the
senior dormitory places, and they organize the
bigger cultural and sports events, like the Pécsi
Egyetemi Napok (PEN), which is the biggest regional festival held every May.
Only students can be members and office-holders, which can guarantee that they
understand your problems and opinions.
Every university student is automatically a
member of the Student Union, and eligible to
vote and to get elected.

But most probably, you will more often make
contact with the Faculty Student Union
(HÖK). Their job is to represent the students
of the given faculty, take care of the students’ everyday issues, and help with administrative challenges. If you have any difficulty in- or outside the University, you can ask
them for help.

You can reach the Student Union
at pteehok.hu,
on the Facebook page of “EHÖK Pécs”
or the international affairs officer of the
Student Union Mr. Szabolcs Kőszegi
at koszegi.szabolcs@pte.hu.

The ESN (International Exchange Erasmus Student Network) organizes weekly events and bigger trips around Hungary especially for interational students to have a closer look at the Hungarian cultural and historical heritage and to visit the most beautiful sights all around the country. They also provide you with an official mentor (a buddy as they call it), to help you with the transition and in everyday life.

You should also follow the “Erasmus Student
Network Pécs” Facebook page, and write to
esn.pecs@gmail.com if you would like to contact the ESN.

For English and German students, the EGSC works to protect their interests, especially at the Medical School. They do their best to assist all students, but primarily serve medical students and are located at the Medical School. They serve as the primary point of contact between students and University leadership, providing support and a safe place for students.
