Széchenyi István University has launched a unique, English-taught Master’s programme in Motorsport Engineering, the only one of its kind in Central Europe. The inaugural cohort consists of eleven students who have recently commenced their studies. Among the faculty are several professionals with Formula 1 experience, as well as engineers from teams that have won world championships in other branches of motorsport.

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.
