Hungarian universities improved their position in every category in the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings 2022 which lists 1,543 institutions in 51 specialisations, the universities said in a joint statement on Friday.
Eötvös Loránd University advanced in humanities from 377th place last year to 351st place this year. Budapest University of Technology and Economics improved its position from 273rd place to 211th place in engineering and technology, while Semmelweis University improved its position by ten places to 262nd in life and medical science. Debrecen University maintained its place between 401 and 450, while Szeged University of Science improved its place by 50 in the same category.
Budapest Corvinus University improved its place from 401-450 to 338 this year.
All Hungarian universities try to help Ukrainian refugees fleeing the Russian invasion. Many of them extended their English language programs and multiplied such courses. Even those students can continue their studies in Hungary who are not Ukrainian citizens but studied in the country when Russia attacked it. Meanwhile, refugees keep arriving in Hungary from Ukraine.
Fully 4,631 people crossed into Hungary directly from Ukraine on Thursday, while another 4,331 from Ukraine crossed from Romania, the national police headquarters said. Police issued temporary residence permits valid for thirty days to 7,571 people, the police website said on Friday. Holders of such permits must contact a local immigration office near their place of residence within thirty days to apply for permanent documents, it added.
Budapest police received 709 refugees, 347 children among them, by train, according to the municipal police website. Refugees arriving on special train services at Kobanya felso railway station, in eastern Budapest, were taken by bus to the BOK sports and events centre serving as a humanitarian transit point. The authorities transported 23 people, including 11 children, to accommodation in the capital and outlying areas.
