Béla Bartók Faculty of Arts
ABOUT THE FACULTY
The Béla Bartók Faculty of Arts traces its history back to over 125 years and is the smallest faculty of the University of Szeged.
Our musical and teaching excellence is internationally recognized, and we have an outstanding reputation within Europe as one of the leading musical higher education institutions in Hungary. Our family-like atmosphere, the members of the International Office and the teaching staff acting like mentors from day one, make the Faculty the second home of our students. On top of a Preparatory Year Programme we offer Bachelor and Master level programmes in Performance. In order to ensure that our students get the best education, our programmes are highly practice-oriented. We also offer musical instruments for rent to make the life of our students easier. The Béla Bartók Faculty of Arts goes to great lengths to bring international concerts, masterclasses, competitions and festivals to Szeged. Our Faculty also offers many performance opportunities both on and off campus. You can get the chance to perform in the National Theatre of Szeged and in the famous Open Air Theatre of Szeged.
The Faculty is to be found in the heart of the town and the University Campus. Within a 2 minute walking distance you can find the University Library where you can study and broaden your knowledge. Relaxing and good food are just around the corner too with numerous pubs, cafes and restaurants nearby. Read more about SZTE student life here:https://u-szeged.hu/livinginszeged.
