The core mission of the program is to increase the number of foreign students in Hungary and to encourage Hungarian higher education institutions to attract top foreign students. Currently, 68 sending partners are engaged in the program. Every year hundreds of international students gain admission to our university with the Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship.
The University of Pécs with its 20 000 students, more than 4 500 international students, 1 400 lecturers, and researchers, with its 10 faculties is one of the largest higher education institutions in Hungary and the center of knowledge within the Transdanubian region. Its roots date back to 1367.
The UP represents classical values, while the challenges of the present and future times are being adapted successfully as well. Covering a wide range of educational areas, it reaches out far beyond the city of Pécs. The UP operates an independent faculty in Szekszárd and runs significant training programs in the towns of Kaposvár, Szombathely, and Zalaegerszeg and even abroad in Zombor.
The history of higher education in Pécs dates back to 1367 when Louis the Great initiated the establishment of a university in the episcopal city of Pécs. As a result of an integration process of several stages, the University of Pécs was founded, which has become one of the most famous, prestigious institutions having a leading role in regional education. It has ten faculties that cover the full spectrum of high-quality higher education.
The University of Pécs, founded among the earliest universities in Europe, is striving towards promoting the capacity building of Hungary and the European Union in the fields of research, academics, arts, and health care. The University intends to play a key role in its region in terms of intellectual output, the well-being of citizens, and economic development.
