Every year, the number of international students at the University of Szeged is increasing. During the 2021-2022 academic year nearly 5000 foreign students from 115 countries are pursuing their studies at the University of Szeged. The institution aims to further increase the number of international students in the spirit of multiculturalism.

Since the turn of the millennium, globalization and the internationalization of higher education have tripled the number of students studying abroad rather than in their home country. Almost 35 600 international students are studying in Hungary, and the University of Szeged is the third most popular institution among them in the country.

From Sri Lanka to Nigeria and Argentina, students come to the University of Szeged from all over the world. Over the past decades, cultural diversity has become an integral part of the life of our University, the city of Szeged and the region. The presence of international students, in addition to its multicultural character, brings growth and development not only to the university, but also to the city itself, especially to the housing and retail sectors, as well as to the catering and hospitality industry.
