Rodrigo Neto initially arrived in Győr drawn by the allure of the Audi brand, but he would have stayed on because of the close-knit community. As an Erasmus student who spent half a year at Széchenyi István University, the Portuguese student now highly recommends the institution to his peers. His attachment to the University is so strong that he has vowed to return for at least a week to visit the friends he made there.

Széchenyi István University and India's Integral University launched a two-year "International Economics and Business" double degree programme in September. The first cohort of the Master's programme includes 18 students from the South Asian country who, upon completion, will receive diplomas from both institutions. The students currently spending the semester in Győr can also enjoy familiar flavours from home, as from 1st March the University is expanding the menu of its Paneer restaurant, located in the ETO Park shopping centre, to include Indian dishes, which will be available to all.

Students from all technical universities across the country, and even beyond its borders, are invited to participate in the XVII. International Student Conference on Mechanical Engineering. With a history spanning nearly two decades, the event serves as a meeting place, a competition, and a platform for building industrial connections. Registration is open until 2nd March.

For the third time, Széchenyi István University held its training development conference to present recent innovations and inform its educators and partners about expected future directions.

At the graduation ceremony of the Albert Kázmér Faculty of Mosonmagyaróvár of Széchenyi István University, graduates of programmes that were the first of their kind in Hungary were also honoured.

As part of the Rural Development Programme of the Ministry of Agriculture, Széchenyi István University is developing the infrastructure related to dairy and medicinal herb processing at the Campus of Albert Kázmér Faculty Mosonmagyaróvár. The nearly one-billion-forint project includes the creation of a smart garden for educational, demonstration, and research purposes, the expansion of the dairy processing facility’s technology, and the implementation of demonstration programmes. Diseased trees that need to be removed will be replaced with fruit trees, medicinal and spice plants, as well as ornamental and garden trees.

Széchenyi István University has announced the launch of eleven new English-taught academic programmes as part of the general admission procedure.
