New international study program between HAN and Pécs University kicked-off

On Tuesday 7 February, Ambassador Kocsis kicked-off a new partnership between the Hungarian University of Pécs and the Business Studies program of the HAN University of Applied Sciences (HAN).

A first group of 30 third-year Business Studies students from the HAN and 15 students from the University of Pécs, will follow a semester of joint lessons and assignments from their own country.

The lessons are held simultaneously, via live video streaming in both countries. Students can then work online, on a project together. One of the aims is to teach students to work together in an international context. In September, another 114 students will start with the project. The kick-off was followed by teachers and students in Hungary, via a live connection.
