The University of Pécs is an institution of higher education in Hungary.  More than 20,000 students presently attend the University of Pécs, approximately 4,000 of whom are international students studying in English or German.

The present University of Pécs was created via the merger of Janus Pannonius University, the Medical University of Pécs and the Illyés Gyula Teacher Training College of Szekszárd.

The University has conducted degree programmes in English for more than 30 years and so has become one of the most internationalized universities in Hungary. We are proud to host more than 4,500 international students each year – students who come from more than 85 countries worldwide. The university offers more than 50 degree programmes and preparatory courses for international students taught in English and German. The University of Pécs is located in the uniquely beautiful, vibrant and lively city of Pécs – a proper, multi-campus university town – which was designated to be the European Capital of Culture in 2010. The large international student population has become essential part not only the university but of the city’s everyday life as well.
