Széchenyi István University is launching a much-needed Master’s programme in Health Psychology in Western Hungary starting this February in a correspondence format, designed to address the region's demand in this field. The two-year programme, offered by the Faculty of Health and Sports Sciences, will commence in Hungarian in the spring semester, while an English-taught, full-time version will be available for international students from the autumn semester onward.

Several health technology developments are currently underway at Széchenyi István University. One of them allows patients to perform the physical exercises necessary for their rehabilitation in their own homes. The AI-based software not only assesses the accuracy of movement sequences but is also capable of providing the attending physician with a comprehensive report.

On October 25, Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, Foreign Minister of the Republic of Cuba, received the "Doctor Honoris Causa" award from Széchenyi István University in recognition of his decades-long career and contributions. The University conferred this honorary doctorate as a recognition for his efforts in strengthening Cuban-Hungarian higher education relations, as well as his work in the field of international public law.
