Within the scope of the visit to embassies in Kyrgyzstan, which was initiated to increase recognition of Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University and develop internationalization, the second visit was made to the Embassy of Hungary in Kyrgyzstan on July 13, 2023. KTMU Rector Prof. Dr. Alpaslan Ceylan led a delegation that included Vice Rector Assoc. Prof. Dr. Kamalbek Karymshakov and Prof. Dr. Kemal Polat.
Prof. Dr. Alpaslan Ceylan pointed out that many important developments have taken place at the university in the past two years. He mentioned Manas University's success in the QS World University Rankings 2024. Rector Alpaslan Ceylan stated that they would like to work actively with Hungarian academicians and provide quality education to Hungarian students. Prof. Dr. Alpaslan Ceylan said: “We haven’t had any Hungary students until now, but we want them to benefit from quality and free education opportunities. Our first and most important aim is to raise individuals who benefit humanity. At Manas University, which is a campus university, we are ready to provide all kinds of opportunities such as accommodation, food services, and scholarships to our students from Hungary.”
Ambassador Shandor Dorogi thanked Rector Prof. Dr. Alpaslan Ceylan for his visit and detailed information about Manas University's opportunities. Ambassador Shandor Dorogi said: “We will be happy to have students and academicians from Hungary at Manas University. You can be sure that we will always support you in this regard. In addition, we will always contribute to your cooperation with higher education institutions, universities, institutes, and other institutions in Hungary. At this point, I recommend you visit Budapest and meet and cooperate with Budapest University, University of Szeged, Corvinus University, and Budapest University of Technology. I am sure that these universities will be very happy to cooperate with you. For example, the Department of Turkology at Budapest University has been open since the 1870s, and very important events are organized in the department. Therefore, I believe these collaborations will be very productive.”
Rector Prof. Dr. Alpaslan Ceylan thanked the Ambassador for his suggestions and support. He stated that they could organize "Hungary Days" at our university and organize scientific events such as conferences and panels. At the end of the visit, booklets and brochures, and gifts were presented.
