Széchenyi István University enjoys increasingly strong and diversified relations with China, in line with Hungary's national economic aspirations. In a further step, the institution has launched a Chinese language course for primary school pupils, with participation free of charge. With this opportunity, the University would open new doors for Hungarian children. The course is still open for applications.

"Those were golden days for me," sums up her years at Széchenyi István University in Győr, where Irina Grakhova, a marketing Master's student from Siberia, came to study. The young Russian girl is currently living and working in Budapest, preparing for her state exams. She said that she sees many similarities between Hungary and her home country; the mentality of the people and the built environment remind her of home. This is partly why she decided to anchor herself for a while in her place of study.
