The University of Debrecen is located in Debrecen, Hungary, and is the oldest continuously operating institution of higher education in the country, established in 1538. The university offers a well-established program in English for international students, particularly in the fields of Medicine and Engineering. This program, first introduced in 1886, now attracts nearly 6,000 international students.

The university boasts an impressive legacy, with five former students having received technical Academy Awards (Oscars) up until 2014. Additionally, the university operates an associated Basic Medicine campus in Geochang County, South Korea.

In Debrecen, the university has three major campuses. The main campus, which is the oldest, hosts the majority of departments from the faculties of Humanities, Science, Medicine, and Music, as well as the botanical garden. The Kassai-road campus is home to most of the buildings of the faculties of Law, Economics, and Informatics. The Böszörményi campus is dedicated to the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences and Environmental Management. Besides these main campuses, the university has several smaller units spread across the city. Notable among these is the compact “mini-campus” formed by the departments of Physics and the Institute of Nuclear Research of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (HAS), as well as the Faculty of Agronomy. The Faculty of Engineering also has its own dedicated campus on Ótemető Street.

The University of Debrecen’s library is the largest university library in Hungary and one of the two national libraries in the country, alongside the National Széchényi Library in Budapest. The library houses over 6 million records, making it a significant resource for research and education.

Each apartment has a kitchen with fridge, microwave oven, electric oven and kitchenware, a bathroom and a balcony. Internet connection is also available in each room.
