Welcome Message from the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Szeged

It is an honor to welcome you to the website of the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Szeged. We hope that you, too, will become part of the Faculty’s history, which has been unfolding since 1962, either as a student or as one of our corporate partners.

Over the past two decades, the Faculty has undergone significant development and transformation, which has greatly contributed to its emergence as the leading center for engineering education in the region. This progress, driven in part by increasing socio-economic demands, is evident both in the traditional agricultural training programs, reflecting the Faculty’s heritage, and in the technical training programs that have undergone substantial specialization over the past 15 years. Our diverse portfolio includes six undergraduate and seven master’s programs, complemented by a strong focus on specialized training courses, workshops, further education, and professional consultancy. Our aim is to prepare highly skilled, multilingual engineers who excel in their fields and are ready to enter the workforce.

We take pride in the career opportunities offered by the Faculty, particularly its bridging role between secondary schools and companies or industrial partners. To support this, we have redefined our recruitment strategies and entered into cooperation agreements with regional vocational training centers, school districts, and their institutions. Our industrial network of 150-200 companies, including nearly 80 contracted corporate partners, positions us as a hub for dual and cooperative education programs within the university. This robust corporate backing also enhances our research, development, and innovation activities alongside our high-quality teaching efforts.

Through our practice-oriented training programs and small-group practical sessions, students can acquire the skills, knowledge, and soft skills essential for becoming successful engineers in a student-friendly environment. To support their integration and academic progress, we offer well-functioning mentorship programs and preparatory courses. Beyond academic excellence, we encourage participation in scientific student circles, individual and team competitions at both national and international levels, and provide access to a wide range of scholarships that can significantly influence career trajectories.

We must also highlight the vibrant events organized with the support of the Student Union, as well as the lively university life and diverse programs offered in the City of Sunshine, all of which are integral to our engineering students’ experiences.

I sincerely hope that those exploring our website today will, in the future, become part of the community of the Faculty of Engineering in some form.

Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions regarding further education, research and development, or potential collaborations.

Prof. Dr. József Sárosi
