Please note that the University of Pannonia will conduct all official communication through the NEPTUN system. For smooth operation, please make sure that the email address entered in NEPTUN is the one you are checking in a regular basis.

Students who are not staying at their permanent or temporary address for the remainder of the semester are kindly requested to keep their notification address up to date on NEPTUN (within 72 hours). Our goal is to seek government assistance to overcome the difficulties in those regions where distance education is not possible.

If you have not done is thus far, please activate your central directory account at https://start.uni-pannon.hu, as this ID will provide you access to university systems in the future.

Our lecturers will notify you in what form distance education will take place in the case of their courses, as soon as possible. It is expected that the online courses will be taught through the following educational system, so we encourage you to try:
https://elearning.uni-pannon.hu/

We recommend and support Skype for secondary group activities. After activating your account with your university email address at start.uni-pannon.hu, you can join by creating a Microsoft account.

Lecturers may use additional systems that are specific to the course, in this case they will provide additional information.

Please note that the “Special Needs Student Application” in the NEPTUN System is still open!

If you have an infrastructural problem with distance education (e.g. no broadband internet connection at notification address and/or lack of equipment necessary for distance education), please contact us (oktatas@gtk.uni-pannon.hu, (88) 624-000/6245).

It is in our common interest to complete the current semester successfully, therefore we count on your cooperative attitude as well. Please help us disseminating official information to your fellow students as much as you can.

Anyone who was unable to attend the event in person could follow the live stream on Facebook. The video has been uploaded to the Youtube channel of the Faculty of Business and Economics which is available from here.

At the ceremony, beside the greetings of Rector András Gelencsér and Dean Dr. Beáta Fehérvölgyi, we were able to listen to the highly inspiring and motivating speech of Zsuzsanna Schleisz, Sales Manager of ExxonMobil Business Support Center Hungary Ltd., about the integration into the global world and the positive effects of a multinational environment.

„I would like to say that it is NOW the most exciting time TODAY to enter the working world, because the possibilities are endless.

For me, back in time, the multinational environment opened up the world but today you can go in the direction which you want. You can start a career with a multinational company like I did, but you have the opportunity to work for a local company, or you can even start your own start-up with leveraging on a good idea and experience of other companies.

It’s all up to you and what you will do with the opportunities around and how you use the knowledge you gained at the university.”
