Hungary – Central Europe’s Rising Education & Career Hub

The Campus of Traditions, Knowledge and Community Spirit

Located in a relaxed ambiance

A unique campus in a beautiful natural environment, up-to-date laboratories, lecture halls, workshops, dormitories, and facilities for sport, culture, and entertainment – this is the University of Miskolc.

Founded in 1735, as an institute of training specialists for mining and metallurgy serving as a model to many polytechnic institutes in the world, the University of Miskolc has always occupied a significant position in the cultivation of sciences, in professional education and training. During the last few decades of the 20th century, the Institution developed into a fully-fledged colorful university with the traditional three technical faculties (Earth Sciences, Materials Sciences, Mechanical Engineering, and Informatics) and the new faculties of Economy, Law, Arts and Humanities, Health Care and Music, also courses of continuing education, or higher-level vocational training. The University has approximately 11.000 students and close to 600 academic staff assisted by an approximately equal number of technical and administrative employees.

Most buildings of the University can be found in Egyetemváros (‘University Town’), a unique and spacious campus, which was built in the fashion of the American campus model and is surrounded by a large park. The University Town – with its 850.000 square meters territory – is a part of the city of Miskolc. Bartók Béla Music Institute, which was integrated into the university in 1997, can be found in the Palace of Music downtown.

The University has cooperation agreements with over 150 foreign universities, along with 160 bilateral agreements in the ERASMUS mobility program. The University of Miskolc is the first Hungarian institution that won the ’Higher Education Quality Award’ in 2008.

The long historical traditions are combined with novel directions in research and education. The high quality of education at the University of Miskolc is demonstrated not only by the number of professional awards received but also by the increasing interest from foreign and Hungarian students to choose the University of Miskolc for pursuing studies at the highest academic level. Our graduates are demanded by a wide scale of potential employers.

Miskolc is a city situated in North-East Hungary and has been mostly known for its industry. It is also the seat of Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County and the scientific and cultural center of the North Hungarian Region.

From Miskolc, the famous Tokaj wine region is within easy reach and nice excursions can be taken to the nearby mountains and lakes, or to historical towns including Eger, Sárospatak, and the beautiful Szilvásvárad.

The University of Miskolc welcomes purposeful and motivated students who aim to be qualified in a traditional yet modern and fresh academic environment.

McDaniel College Budapest Campus is registered in Hungary as a foreign institution of higher education by the permission of the Hungarian Minister for Education. For liberal arts-oriented students, it offers a standard American four-year undergraduate program in Hungary with a Bachelor of Arts Degree, valid for the USA and EU.

From the more than 40 majors offered at McDaniel’s main campus, seven are offered at the Budapest campus: Business Administration, Economics, Political Sciences and International Studies, Communication, Psychology, Art History and Studio Arts. McDaniel College encourages explorative, multilayered intellectual and professional exploration, meaning students often tackle more than one major as well as study in other areas offered on our campus, such as Journalism and Media, Cinema Studies, Marketing, and History. The resultant interdisciplinarity makes McDaniel College one of the most attractive higher education institutions in this region.

In addition, the Budapest Campus introduced a special study track for those international students who are interested about life sciences, strengthening their opportunities to be eligible for further studies at medical and veterinary fields.

Beyond the core program, competitive internships, and independent studies are offered as well as attractive study abroad programs for interested undergraduate international students.

The Faculty of McDaniel College Budapest is equally multidisciplinary and multicultural. Our professors are from the US, the UK, and other countries in North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, as well as from all walks of professional and scholarly life in Hungary. They are highly reputed academics who provide opportunities for intellectual and professional growth to their students.
