The Rejtő Sándor Faculty of Light Industry and Environmental Engineering at Obuda University is delighted to have welcomed a new cohort of international Erasmus students from across the globe. These students will spend the upcoming semester participating in the faculty’s diverse educational programs and immersing themselves in Hungarian culture and language.
The international students hail from various countries, including Spain, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, and Turkey. A majority of the students will be engaged in product design engineering, environmental engineering, and light industry programs, with a strong emphasis on sustainability.
The faculty’s leadership and instructors are committed to providing a fulfilling and enriching experience for the students. In addition to expanding their professional and environmental knowledge, students will have the opportunity to participate in various cultural programs, excursions, and sporting events.
“We are thrilled to welcome such talented and motivated students from Europe and Asia,” said Dr. habil. László Koltai, Dean of the Rejtő Faculty. “We are confident that the experiences gained through the Erasmus program will have a lasting positive impact on the students’ academic progress and personal lives.”
The Erasmus program is a European Union initiative that allows students to study in another country for a semester or a year. Norbert Berecz, the Erasmus student mentor, who, together with Ildikó Pásztor, the Dean’s Commissioner for Educational Affairs, held an information program for the students at the RKK, said: “The program aims to strengthen international relations, promote cultural diversity, and support students’ professional and personal development, as well as strengthen their sense of responsibility for the future.”
The Erasmus program not only provides significant benefits to the students but also to the university. The presence of international students enriches the faculty’s community, brings new perspectives to education and research, and contributes to the faculty’s growing international recognition.
The Rejtő Faculty’s past achievements have demonstrated its commitment to fostering international relations and supporting student mobility. The RKK aims to continue welcoming more students through the Erasmus program and to provide opportunities for Hungarian students to study abroad through the Pannonia program.
