Szeged University
Szeged University (Szeged), Hungary
<< Back
A Historical Academic Environment
Look around the Cathedral Square in Szeged and you will feel a touch of history. The brick-facade buildings that surround you host the theoretical departments of the Medical Faculty since 1921. The university moved to this location fifty years after its foundation in Kolozsvár (Transylvania), and most of the university buildings preserved their original, historical style, providing a true academic atmosphere of tradition. All the pre-clinical departments, the Central Library and the University Hospitals are located within walking distance in a calm part of the old town between the Cathedral and the River Tisza.
"Science has opened endless possibilities for expansion if we work together instead of snatching small advantages from one another. Science has helped us to understand and master ourselves, creating an elevated new form of human life, the wealth and beauty of which cannot be pictured today by the keenest imagination".
This quotation originates from Professor Albert Szent-Györgyi, the Nobel-Prize Laureate former rector of the medical university, who magically transformed his Institute of Medical Chemistry into an international open laboratory, where the free flow of ideas, the enthusiasm of his associates and his students assured that science would leap forward in huge steps. The ongoing research activities still have a great impact on the university. Especially, the biomedical and clinico-pharmacological researchers of the University of Szeged are cited frequently in the scientific literature.
The University Library offers more than 1,250,000 volumes and periodicals to meet the students' requirements. The Medical Library of the university contains 138,000 books and periodicals, and has a direct med-line connection to the European medical databanks. The University Hospitals with 1200 clinical beds also serve as a regional center of health care for southern Hungary, maintaining high standards with sophisticated equipment and highly competent medical staff assuring superior therapy and training.
The University of Szeged is listed again among the World Top 500 and the European Top 100 Universities for 2004. This is the second year when our university was ranked on the list.
