University of Dunaújváros
The first and only higher educational institution in Dunaújváros, Established in 1735,the Technicum of Metallurgy and Mechanical Engineering, our predecessor institution was established in 1953. However, as our University is one of the very few universities saveguarding and fostering the nearly 280 years old student traditions developed at Selmecbánya (and for that UOD is considered as a successor institution of the former Academy of Selmecbánya), our university can be described as a relatively young university having roots that goes back centuries.
University of Dunaújváros is located in Dunaújváros, which is 60 km (about 45mins drive) away from Budapest, the capital of Hungary. Later in 2003, it managed to obtain the ISO 9001 quality certification, and hence preceded the other Hungarian public universities to obtain such certification. At the moment, Our university has grown to be a public university with more than 5,000 students. In terms of academic performance, it enjoys excellence in academic fields such as telecommunications engineering, informatics, and economics. In addition, University of Dunaújváros is the first among all the Hungarian institutions of higher education to accredit the qualification of the Higher Education Diploma issued by the Chinese Service Center for Scholarly Exchange (CSCSE) in partnership with the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA).
Nowadays our university is considered as one of the most dynamically developing higher educational institutions in Hungary. On national level UOD became the center of higher education in the surrounding region, and as a results of our internationalization strategy followed over the past years, our institution is proud to have a wide international relations network in Europe and all around the world. Currently we offer 6 bachelor and 2 master programs entirely taught English, and nearly 10% of the total number of or students are international students arriving from all corners of the world.

ABOUT OUR CAMPUS
Any great institution always thrives upon great infrastructure. The infrastructural development of the University of Dunaújváros is very impressive. The construction of the new university campus at the beginning of the millenium is one of the greatest achievements of the University.
