UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF NYÍREGYHÁZA

The UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF NYÍREGYHÁZA (Pictures) was established on 1 January 2000 by the merger of the two legal predecessor institutions: György Bessenyei Teacher Training College and the Agricultural College, Faculty of Gödöllõ University.

The college has five faculties:

• Faculty of Arts
• Faculty of Economics and Social Studies
• Faculty of Natural Sciences
• Faculty of Engineering and Agriculture
• Faculty of Teacher Training

In September 2003 the new building of the Student Information Centre was opened, housing the Rector’s Offices, Central Library, Student Registry and Financial Department. Within one year, “the opening ceremony tradition” continued and the Faculty of Engineering and Agriculture moved into its new premises. A new block was built – as a private investment – to provide extra residence for students.

University College of Nyíregyháza has unique sports facilities among the Hungarian higher education institutions: a horse riding facility, a swimming pool, sauna, an athletic hall, sports fields and tracks, a gym – all in the neighbourhood of the Sóstó forest.
