The university

The University of Miskolc in the heart of the North-eastern industrial zone of Hungary is one of the few  higher education institutes in Central Europe where engineering training related to mining, environment, geology and hydrocarbon industries takes place. The school has a 275-year old tradition since the Faculty of Earth Sciences Engineering is a successor of the oldest Mining Academy of Europe, founded in 1735 in Selmec (now Banska Stiavnica).

The Selmec Mining Academy was the first HEI in the field of technology in the world, operated in Selmecbánya until 1919, then in Sopron until 1949. In 1949 the two faculties moved to Miskolc and were complemented by the newly established Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. Since that time new faculties have emerged (Law, Economics, Arts, Music, Health Care), making the university a real universitas which embraces a wide-range of sciences and specialisations.

Over 15,000 students and appr. 2,000 lecturers and staff live and work together at the University of Miskolc on a self-contained campus. The university also builds strong intellectual and cultural links with the city of Miskolc in order to play a crucial role in the blood circulation of the town and the region and to form an integral part of the social and economic framework of the city, the region and the country.
