Information on the withdrawal of the index book used at the Faculty of Medicine
In accordance with the decision of the Faculty of Medicine, from the academic year 2016/2017, the index book is gradually going to be withdrawn from the academic administration. In the academic year 2016/2017, first year students will not receive index books. Upper year students should submit their index books with all the signatures and grades until September 22, 2016. After this date the Foreign Students’ Secretariat will store and archive the index books. Academic progress will be recorded in the ETR. The examination results will be registered directly in the ETR by the Departments. In case of any discrepancy concerning the written examination results, the test-paper should be investigated. In case of oral examinations, students have to print the “Course and Mark Registration Sheet” (Training/Orientations and training/Course Registration Sheet) from their own ETR site, which has to be presented before starting each oral examination. Students must prove their identity with an official document bearing their picture and their personal data (passport/ID card/student card).

The University of Szeged and MSD have established a joint Pharmaceutical Industry Partnership Department, marking a new chapter in their collaboration. This initiative builds on a long-standing partnership – further strengthened in 2023 through clinical trial cooperation – and seeks to foster innovation in research, education, and pharmaceutical development. The agreement was officially signed in Szeged by Prof. Dr. László Rovó, Rector of the University of Szeged; Prof. Dr. Ildikó Csóka, Director-General for Strategic Planning; Prof. Dr. Zsolt Szakonyi, Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy; Sean R. Smith, Managing Director of MSD Pharma Hungary Kft.; and Dr. Szabolcs Barótfi, Director of Clinical Research at MSD Hungary.
On May 12, the University of Szeged held an official ceremony to inaugurate its new research unit: the Host–Pathogen Interaction Center. Located within the Institute of Biology, the Center features Hungary’s only in vivo experimental station of its kind, alongside five newly renovated laboratories. This state-of-the-art facility is designed to support the development of antimicrobial therapies, with a particular focus on antifungal treatments – addressing a pressing yet often overlooked public health concern. The project was made possible through both professional and financial support from Katalin Karikó, an SZTE alumna and recipient of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
The origins of the University of Szeged date back to May 12, 1581, when István Báthory established the Jesuit College in Cluj-Napoca – an institution recognized as SZTE's legal predecessor. Exactly 444 years later, the University marked this anniversary with a symbolic “birthday gift”: the signing of two strategic partnership agreements. Supported by two of South America’s leading scientific and healthcare institutions, these partnerships are set to position SZTE among the global research elite in emerging and internationally significant fields of healthcare research and education.
