TALENT MANAGEMENT

The university provides several special colleges which serve as intellectual and social platforms to help the development of the motivated and dedicated students. The Zsuffa István Special College of the Faculty of Water Sciences aims to provide students with a series of programmes, primarily in engineering, that help develop their knowledge outside of the regular university classes. In addition to the higher education, the college places great emphasis on active participation in professional conferences, forums, community and cultural programs as well as in the National Conference of Scientific Students' Associations. Members of the special college are continuously assisting and participating in other scientific events. To acquire and maintain the qualification of the special college, it is important for the students to contribute to the Researchers' Night or to be involved in the Youth Days organised by the Hungarian Hydrological Society (HHS). The special college also maintains a good relationship with numerous local organisations, including the Hajómalom Association of Baja and the Settlement Commission of Baja.
