University of Miskolc
Bartók Béla
Institute of Music
(Founded in 1997)
One of the characteristic landmarks of the inner city of Miskolc is the Palace
of Music built in 1927 which housed the City School of Music, established in
1904. The institution, which has changed its name several times, was integrated
into the University of Miskolc in 1997. At present its official name is: Bartók
Béla Institute of Music of the University of Miskolc. The development of the
music schools of Northern Hungary has created a high demand for teachers of
music. In 1963 the Miskolc Symphony Orchestra became an independent
organisation. Our institute trains the new generations of orchestra members.
These factors played a decisive role in the formation of the departments of the institute.
The following four specialisations are offered:
Piano: besides the main subject, other subjects related to this instrument are
also taught (piano teaching, piano accompaniment, accompaniment by playing at
sight, chamber music).
String instruments: violin, viola, cello, double bass, guitar.
Wind instruments: flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, trumpet, bugle, trombone,
tuba, percussion instruments.
Theory of music: singing solo, main subject: musical theory-solmisation + choir
leading.
Our college keeps contacts with foreign institutions, among others in Trento,
Italy which is also the sister town of Miskolc. This makes it possible for our
students to study at the conservatory there for some time.
It has been a practice for several years at the institute of Music to invite
guest professors and artists to give one-week courses, during which the
performers also give concerts. Our students participate in national
competitions, usually with high success. Our pupils play an active role in the
musical life of the town giving concerts as soloists or in chamber music groups
in different programmes.

University of Miskolc
Institute of Health
Care Studies
(Founded in 1998)
From 1987 to 1995 district nurses were trained at an institute affiliated to
Haynal Imre University of Health Care Studies in Miskolc. The closure of this
school caused a great shortage of experts in the town and in the region. In
recognition of this, the University of Miskolc undertook to relaunch training in
1998, with the Nyíregyháza College of the University of Debrecen providing the
academic and professional background support required. The cooperation between
the two universities and the financial support of the Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén
County Council and the Miskolc City Council made it possible to reopen the
college, which has been functioning as an institution of the University of
Miskolc since September 2001.
The 80-year-old District Nurse Service is an integral, indispensable part of the
Hungarian health and social services. Throughout its long history it has proved
capable of responding flexibly and creatively to the health care problems of
modern society. The present objective of district nurse training is to prepare
students for work in the health care service. Health care involves the
preservation and improvement of physical, mental and social health. One of the
main objectives of the district nurse project is to teach people to choose a
healthy way of life. Within this objective, special emphasis is given to the
protection of mothers, newborn babies and children.
Undergraduate programme
This is a college-level programme funded by the state. Applicants may begin
their studies after they have passed their school-leaving exams and university
entrance examinations. The programme lasts four years. The majority (60 %) of
study is practice-oriented. In order to obtain the college degree, the student
needs to pass the final examinations and write a dissertation. Forty students
are admitted to the course every year. Graduates have no difficulty finding a
job in this field, as about one quarter of the district nurse posts in the
county are vacant.
