The English-language programmes at the University of Sopron are seeing more interest than ever before. For the upcoming 2026/27 academic year, the number of students applying through the Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Programme has nearly doubled compared to last year. If we look back over the past five years, the number of applicants has actually grown to more than four times its original size - a fantastic confirmation that our international strategy is truly working.

As the spring semester kicks off, the pressure of exams, assignments, and final theses can quickly pile up.

"It’s completely normal for students to feel more stressed during this time, but learning how to manage that stress is key to success," says Erzsébet Szaniszló, our Student Wellbeing coordinator.

In an era of climate change and emerging diseases, science must evolve to the next level. Researchers at the University of Sopron have developed a unique approach: by merging geoinformatics and bioinformatics, they are now able to not only pinpoint where a forest is struggling but also seek remedies at a molecular level. This field, referred to as "geobioinformatics," is considered a pioneering discipline even on an international scale.

The University of Sopron has achieved a major international milestone by winning the Green World Environment Award. This global competition seeks out the "greenest" companies and communities in the world. Standing out from over 500 nominations, the university will be honored with a Green World Award and certificate at a formal ceremony hosted at the iconic Cardiff Castle in Wales on April 13, 2026.
