Albert Szent-Györgyi Medical University

For main article see University of Szeged.

Albert Szent-Györgyi Medical University was originally established in Kolozsvár, Transylvania, in 1872. After World War I, it was moved to Szeged. Between 1921 and the present, great advances have been made in the development of the University. Most of the University buildings have preserved their original, harmonized style, providing a true University atmosphere of tradition.

Setting and architecture

Preclinical departments of the Faculty of Medicine are situated around Cathedral ("Dóm") Square. The University Hospitals, housing the clinical departments, occupy the land between the Cathedral and River Tisza, which is a calm, peaceful area of the old town. Some of the preclinical departments are accommodated in other buildings; however, even off-campus departments of the Medical University (such as Anatomy and Forensic Medicine) are within easy access from the city center (10 minutes by tram).

Famous professors

Many famous and world-renowned professors have been members of the Faculty, including:
* J. Baló (pathology),
* B. Issekutz and M. Jancsó (pharmacology),
* D. Miskolczy (neurology),
* J. Rusznyák and G. Hetényi (internal medicine),
* G. Ivanovics (microbiology) and
* A. Szent-Györgyi (medical chemistry), - our University recently assumed his name – who was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1937 for his scientific achievements in biochemistry.

In recent years, 94 foreign students from 24 countries have received pharmaceutical diplomas through government-sponsored exchange programs. A number of young foreign pharmacists currently take part in different post-graduate courses.
