Széchenyi István University (SZE) is located in Győr, a prosperous city in north-west Hungary, situated midway between the capitals of Hungary, Austria and Slovakia. As a dynamically developing HEI with nearly 14,000 students, since 2016 the University has seen a rapid rise in the number of international students, now representing 70 nations.

In conjunction with the University of Rhode Island (Kingston, RI, USA) SZE has launched an AACSB accredited double-degree MBA degree, employing world-class educators.

Due to its optimum location, the city of Győr is a leading automotive and industrial hub. Ever since its establishment in the city in 1993, Audi Hungaria Zrt., now ranking as the world’s largest engine plant, has enjoyed an organic cooperation with Széchenyi István University, which carries out industrial research activities for and in conjunction with the company. In 2015, the partnership resulted in the creation of the Audi Hungaria Faculty of Automotive Engineering.
