Dear International Student,

On behalf of all the members of our University, it is our pleasure to welcome you to the University of Miskolc. You have just become a member of an academic community, which is proud of its traditions and a high standard of education. It is a wonderful and exciting time, and an experience of a lifetime with boundless opportunities.

We know that it is a challenge to find your way in a foreign country; that is why we designed this guide booklet to help you during your stay. We hope that this booklet and our staff will help you settle in quickly and find your way around the University and the city.

We wish you a pleasant stay in Miskolc and a productive academic career.

City of Miskolc

Miskolc is the seat of Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County. As the most populated city (ca. 159 000 inhabitants) of the largest county in the North-Hungarian Region it plays a central role in the administrative, economic and cultural life of the region. Numerous administratively significant county and regional institutions and offices are located in Miskolc.

As a large city of regional importance, Miskolc has a leading role in the field of culture, as well. From a cultural aspect the National Theatre of Miskolc, operating several types of stages, is a determinant institution, being the oldest stone- built theatre in the territory of present-day Hungary, where the first Hungarian-language performance was acted out.

The nationally famous Symphonic Orchestra of Miskolc plays an important role in the music life of the city. Its concert hall, the House of Arts, is the site of orchestral concerts, pop concerts and theatre performances. The two viewing rooms of CineMis, operator of the art cinemas of Miskolc, are located in the building.

In the institutions of the Cultural Centre of Miskolc – the Leisure and Activity Centres and the Ady Endre Cultural and Leisure Centre – several entertaining programs are organized for all ages and interests. As in large cities, smaller community centres are operating in all city quarters, serving the cultural demands of the local inhabitants.

Due to its size and location Miskolc has a determinant role in the economy of the region. Since the 1960s heavy industry has been the dominant branch; however its role and significance are decreasing from the 1990s. Besides numerous local enterprises several large multinational companies have recently settled in Miskolc, creating jobs for the inhabitants of the city and for people living in its surroundings.

Miskolc is situated at the edge of the North Hungarian Mountains) (Északi-Középhegység) at the so-called Gate of Miskolc. The city is the geographical centre of the regions of Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County: the Bükk Mountains, the Cserehát Mountains, the Zemplén Mountains and the edge of the Great Hungarian Plain (Alföld) meet here.

University of Miskolc – Brief introduction

The predecessor of Miskolc University was the school of mining and metallurgy (Bergschule) established by Charles III in Selmecbánya in 1735, which was the world’s first higher education institution giving instruction in these fields (in Freiberg, courses were launched in 1765, in Berlin in 1770, and in St Petersburg in 1773). In 1920, as a result of the Treaty of Trianon, Selmec became part of Czechoslovakia, therefore the academy had to move. It was Sopron that gave home to the institution. Act No. XXIII of 1949 of the Hungarian National Assembly ordered that ’in order to enhance higher education in technology, a university of heavy industry should be established in Miskolc. The university shall be divided into the faculties of mining and metallurgical engineering.’ The demand for a change in the education system gave rise to the intention to expand technical faculties with other faculties offering programmes in social sciences.

Law courses started in 1981, and an independent Faculty of Law was established in 1983. It was at this time that the objective was formulated that the university should rise to the level of “universitas” in the classical sense. The next development step was the launching of a programme in economics, followed by the establishment of the relevant faculty in 1990. On 1st July 1990 the name of the university was changed to Miskolc University (Hungarian abbreviation:

ME). In 1992 the Institute of Arts was founded. It became a faculty in September 1997. In 1997, following its separation from the college, the Miskolc department of Liszt Ferenc College of Music was integrated into the university as its Bartók Béla Institute of Music. Having renewed their programmes, the technical faculties continue their activities as Faculties of Earth Science and Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering and Mechanical Engineering and Informatics. The first bachelor programme of the Institute of Healthcare Studies was launched in 2001 to train health visitors, and training physiotherapists started here in September 2004. In 2005 the institute was given a faculty status, therefore its present name is the Faculty of Healthcare Studies.

With effect from 1 August 2020 the former public University of Miskolc operates as a non-profit, private university, directed by the Universitas Miskolciensis Foundation of which members are appointed by the Ministry. The Government provides long-term financial support on a contractual basis for the operation of the university. The change in the legal status effects neither student related issues (status, scholarship, tuition fee, etc.) nor educational processes (application or graduation etc.) or the ongoing international projects of the University of Miskolc.

Dear Student,

Welcome to the University of Miskolc. It’s a great pleasure to greet you among the more than 10 000 Hungarian and foreign students of the University registered for the autumn semester of the 2021/22 academic year.

Let me call your attention to a few things before you leave for Hungary, to help you prepare for the great adventure of your life. There are certain “before departure” and “after arrival“ issues you should be aware of.

» BEFORE ARRIVAL

You will certainly have a lot of things in your mind. Still, one of the most important things is to bring along your official documents. It might be a good idea to scan them and send these files to your e-mail address, so that you can identify yourself wherever and whenever you have to.

DOCUMENTS TO BRING ALONG

• Passport + Visa

• ID card

• ID photos (3pcs. – 1 certified by the Consulate)

• Final Letter of Admission

• Degree + Transcript

• Language certificate

• Medical certificate

When registering for the University in September you will have to submit these documents to the Dean’s office.

Without the original documents (degree, transcript, language certificate), you will not be able to start your studies.

VISA APPLICATION

You have to apply for a Hungarian VISA in your home country (nothing can be done once you are in Hungary). When applying for a VISA you need among other documents – the list of required documents varies from country to country – the FINAL LETTER OF ADMISSION, issued by the University of Miskolc.

FINAL LETTER OF ADMISSION

It is issued by the University of Miskolc and sent to you by email. It confirms that you are accepted to study as a full- time student at the University of Miskolc as well as states that you are accommodated at UNI-Hotel of the University of Miskolc (on campus). Should you not have this document, please let us know ASAP.

YOUR ARRIVAL IN HUNGARY

You are expected to arrive in Miskolc in the first week of September, during the so-called registration week (30 August – 3 September 2021). Then you will have time to move into the UNI-Hotel and to get to know the campus. You will be assigned a Hungarian and an international mentor student, who will help you to find your way to the UNI-Hotel on the day of your arrival and will show you around. The mentor student will contact you prior to your arrival via e-mail.

In case of questions or problems, you can always contact the Mentor Coordinator, Mr József MENYHÉRT

menyhert.jozsef@hook.hu for immediate help. Please, inform us about your date of arrival in Hungary by sending an

Student guide

DEAR STUDENT,

Welcome to the University of Miskolc. It’s a great pleasure to greet you among the more than 10 000 Hungarian and foreign students of the University registered for the autumn semester of the 2021/22 academic year.

Let me call your attention to a few things before you leave for Hungary, to help you prepare for the great adventure of your life. There are certain ‘before departure’ and ‘after arrival’ issues you should be aware of.

» Before Arrival

You will certainly have a lot of things in your mind. Still, one of the most important things is to bring along your official documents. It might be a good idea to scan them and send these files to your e-mail address, so that you can identify yourself wherever and whenever you have to.

MENTOR SYSTEM

The Directorate for International Relations (DIR) is committed to supporting its international students through the various stages of their integration into the academic life of the University of Miskolc by operating a mentor system.

Mentors, who are carefully selected among the students of the University, provide guidance and academic coaching to foreign students throughout their stay in Miskolc. The system is coordinated by the Directorate for International Relations with the help of a Mentor Coordinator:

József MENYHÉRT mentor coordinator E-mail: menyhert.jozsef@hook.hu

Mentors provide support for International students as follows.

PRE-ARRIVAL SUPPORT

Mentors begin their assignments before the start of the term, offering support to incoming international students prior to their arrival in Miskolc. During this pre-arrival stage, mentors adopt the role of a pen-pal, connecting with their mentees primarily via e-mail. A mentor is the first contact person for a mentee and can help by answering important questions about student life, including, but not limited to information about Miskolc and the CAMPUS while easing the anxiety that new students experience when preparing for their move.

ARRIVAL SUPPORT

Mentors assist the arrival of international students in Miskolc, either by meeting the student at the airport/railway station or by receiving the students in the Student Hostel at the CAMPUS in Miskolc. The actual form of assistance is agreed individually. All mentors meet their mentees on their arrival in Hungary and they encourage the foreign students to participate in the programs of the orientation week and take advantage of the possibilities offered.

Please inform the DIR about your date of arrival in Hungary by sending an e-mail to Ágnes MAGYAR (Erasmus 131) rekmagnes@uni-miskolc.hu, and to Henriett TÓTH (Erasmus 107) rektheni@uni-miskolc.hu in due time so that we could arrange your reception.

MENTOR SYSTEM

Mentors, who are carefully selected among the students of Miskolc University provide guidance and academic coaching to international students throughout their stay in Miskolc. The system is coordinated by DIR with the help of a mentor coordinator, Flóra Matisz.

Mentors provide support for International students as follows:

PRE-ARRIVAL SUPPORT

Mentors begin their assignments before the start of the term, offering support to incoming international students prior to their arrival in Miskolc. During this pre-arrival stage, mentors adopt the role of a penpal, they contact their mentees via social media and answer questions about student life, including, but not limited to information about Miskolc and the campus while easing the anxiety that new students experience when preparing for their move.

ARRIVAL SUPPORT

Mentors assist the arrival of international students in Miskolc, either by meeting the student at the railway station or by receiving the students in the Student Hostel at the campus in Miskolc. The actual form of assistance is agreed individually.

All mentors meet their mentees on their arrival in Hungary and they encourage the international students to participate in the programs of the orientation week and take advantage of the possibilities offered. Mentors are crucial in helping new students navigate any challenges experienced during the first weeks of the semester, and ensure that their mentees feel welcome as members of the University.

ACADEMIC COACHING

Mentors help their students to find their way in the campus and navigate them in their academic administrative duties (Dean’s Office, Neptun, meeting and contacting lecturers if needed).

ADMINISTRATIVE COACHING

Primarily during the first month of the semester (in the form of accompanying the mentees to the different offices and helping them when language difficulty occurs) in the following cases: arranging registration at the Immigration Office, buying the monthly season ticket for public transport, accompanying the students to the orientation meeting, showing around the University.

All official documents related to administrative duties of students are prepared as well as appointments are arranged by the colleagues of the DIR.
