1917 Teacher Training College, Jászberény founded
1920 University of Agriculture was founded in Budapest

Some of the schools in Szent István University have more than a century of history.
Research
Nowadays it is expected that universities and colleges establish close connections with the business sector, including both large and small scale enterprises. They are integral stakeholders in higher education, who support the students by providing practical training, advising the diploma theses, and shaping the labour markets into which graduates enter after they complete their studies. If the university succeeds in its mission, these companies will employ our students in the future. Their experts might become our visiting lecturers, who participate in our final exam committees and do joint research with us and help in education. Realising the above mentioned goals, first of all we have to monitor our research and progress, which will bring benefits for the businesses in the future. Szent István University started to map its knowledge base. Although it is not yet complete, the offer for educational and research cooperation is available for our business partners. Introducing this publication to you I also call my colleagues to update and expand the cooperation topics from time to time and if you have a new idea or proposal, which fits with Szent István University program, feel free to contact us.
We believe that these guidelines provide you useful information and strengthen the connection between business life and education.
