Established in 1992, the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences is one of the youngest of eight faculties at the long-established University of Miskolc. The faculty increases the diversity and expands the range of opportunities available at the university. As the regional centre for the humanities, social sciences and teacher training, our faculty continues to be a leading teaching and research centre serving both the region and society. We look forward to welcoming you in person!
In the framework of the program, we explore the possible areas and implementation opportunities for new social and cultural innovations, relying on the regional research experiences of social and cultural innovations. To achieve this, a new interdisciplinary team is being formed, involving experts from economics, social sciences, health, law and humanities, based on their previous research activities. The project is a socio-economic-cultural innovation model, which is currently based on the complex examination of 25 settlements in the Abaúj region (mainly in the Encsi district), including demographic, sociological, and health screening of children, revealing the situation of the social economy, local businesses, local values, and local knowledge.
Complex instruction is a pedagogical approach that enables students to learn and teachers to teach at a high intellectual level in academically, linguistically, racially, ethnically, and socially heterogeneous classrooms.
The goal of our project is to develop inclusive language teaching tasks and materials for dyslexic learners of English and German in primary school settings. The project is to be realised with the cooperation of seven partners from the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and the United Kingdom, who will contribute their expertise in second language acquisition research, teacher training, curriculum design, course book writing, and digitalised learning.
The faculty has an extensive network of international contacts which enables not only Hungarian students the opportunity to study and work abroad but also for international students and lecturers to visit our university and work together on joint projects and publications. International programmes (e.g. Pannonia Scholarship Programme) and other scholarships also allow students and lecturers to broaden their experiences by providing the framework and financial means for international exchanges, conference participation and even joint degree programmes.
