The university, which has a history of more than 60 years, has set itself the goal of becoming a premium institution in its region,” said Gy\u00f6rgy Matolcsy, Governor of the Central Bank of Hungary
\nJohn von Neumann University has consistently strived for excellence, and its success is underscored by its appeal to domestic and foreign students alike, positioning it as a pivotal player in both local and global educational landscapes.
\nMr. Norbert Csizmadia president of Foundation for John von Neumann University, highlights the remarkable surge in enrollment from Dubai, UAE, with over 500 foreign students joining in 2024 alone. \u201cThe university’s strategic aim is to tap into a diverse market spanning nearly 50 countries, including major players like India and China, all from its base in the UAE. Moreover, by cultivating direct relationships with student recruitment agents, the university seeks to solidify its presence and cater to the growing demand in the region more effectively.\u201d
\nThe Kecskem\u00e9t institution of higher education has surged in popularity among Hungarian students, owing to Kecskem\u00e9t’s pivotal role in the nation’s economy. With Mercedes Benz Manufacturing Hungary Ltd., the global leader in automotive manufacturing, and a rich heritage in the food industry spanning over 650 years, Kecskem\u00e9t has established itself as an economic powerhouse. Furthermore, its evolution into a regional center for finance, business, economy, food, and agriculture further solidifies its appeal as an academic destination.
\nThe location of the new Dubai branch is important for the Hungarian university because Dubai, as an independent emirate of the United Arab Emirates and a globally significant city, is representative of the international audience of Neumann’s target market.
