Has Debrecen University become the largest international university in Central and Eastern Europe?

"Hungary has become an increasingly popular destination for studying abroad. It has maintained a high reputation for many years and has a solid educational tradition in science, especially medicine. In addition to having a higher quality education, Hungary also has various cultures and arts, fascinating history and beautiful places. "

Debrecen University has become the university with the largest number of international students in Central and Eastern Europe. The number of foreign students at Debrecen University has increased again. In September, more than 2,000 students will study English in this institution. In the 2022/23 academic year, it is estimated that more than 7,200 students will study and train at Debrecen University. In the 2022/23 academic year, the International Education Coordination Center of Debrecen University submitted nearly 28,000 applications from foreigners for more than 70 training forms issued by Debrecen (DE), an increase of 20% over the previous year.

The medical and health science courses in Debrecen University are still the most popular among foreigners, but on the other hand, the total number of applications for the School of Engineering and Information and its preparatory courses has gradually increased. In fact, 20.190,000 people applied for the Hungarian funded scholarship program, 8% more than the record-breaking number of applicants in 20021year, which will also promote improvement. "This is an outstanding achievement for us, because students chose Debrecen University from nearly 30 Hungarian higher education institutions," said Juanita Geney, head of the International Education Coordination Center.

According to the decision of the Tempus Foundation Board of Directors, 927 students have received Hungarian national scholarships to start their studies at Debrecen University. Attila Geney pointed out that the number of students applying for foreign regeneration and academic scholarships in the fall semester of 2022 is estimated to be about 2,000, and the number of international students at Debrecen University is expected to increase to nearly 7,200, making it the largest group of foreign college students in Eastern and Central Europe.

If the applicant applies for a new project in Hungary, he can get a D visa within two months after the Hungarian Consulate in China submits the application materials, and he can choose to apply for a residence card at home or abroad. After submitting the materials, the period for the applicant to obtain the residence card for the first time is 3 years, and the card can be changed within 3 years. You can change your permanent residence card after 5 years.

Compared with the annual processing cycle of traditional immigrants to Europe, the speed of obtaining residence cards for new projects in Hungary is very fast. In all fairness, regardless of money or time, Hungary's investment in new projects has saved some costs for applicants and is a quality project for immigrants to invest in Europe. "The lack of serviced apartments in Debrecen is also a basic problem, which may determine the number of students enrolled this year and may also become an obstacle to further development. According to our current calculation, there must be 500- 1500 economical and practical hotel accommodations to accommodate existing and new foreign students, "said Atila Jeanne.

Debrecen University's Core International Education Coordination Center shows that universities also emphasize the further development of the quality management system based on student feedback and oral English course evaluation.
