One of the most important organizations for the teaching of the Hungarian language is the Debrecen Summer School founded in 1927 and functioning as an organizational unit of the University of Debrecen. Many students have studied at the Summer School with a past of seven decades, who have become acknowledged representatives of Hungarian studies and Hungarian culture.
Presently, the Summer School offers four language courses: the approximately 500 participants of the Summer program have 6 language classes a day, besides several lectures on cultural history and current issues. The 80 class-hour winter program, the 120 class-hour "super-intensive" course in May-June and the 70 class-hour Intensive Autumn Course attract a steadily growing number of students.
Courses are offered at four levels from beginner to advanced and at all levels the Summer School uses its own textbooks Hungarolingua.
Teachers at the Summer School are acknowledged language teachers of the University of Debrecen and other higher educational institutions in Debrecen. The Summer School is headed by the university president (rector) in office at all times while its day-to-day management is the job of the managing director and the director of studies. Year after year, the Summer School honours those who have done most for Hungarian language teaching and for the development of the training program of the school by decorating them.
The Office of the Summer School operates all round the year, and is ready to serve you on any weekday.
