Brief History: Kodolányi János University College is a state-accredited, non-denominational, non-state institution of higher education offering degree courses in Arts, Economics, Tourism and Social Sciences. It is run by the Independent College Trust set up by the Town Council of the county seat, Székesfehérvár.

The number of students has increased many times. The accreditation process of autumn 1999 ended with success: the college and all the programs were found to fulfill the requirements and were duly accredited. New campuses were added: in 2000 the Budapest Campus and in 2001 the Siófok Campus. Off-campus branches commenced operation in 2002 in Nyíregyháza and in 2003 in Orosháza.

Library: The task of the Kodolányi János University College Library is helping the instruction and research work of the University College. Its collection allows it to provide the foreign language and special library requirements of the city and the region. It contains 60,000 books and 10,000 periodicals, audio- and videocassettes as well as CD-ROMs. The traditional librarian functions are mixed with the digital librarian services of the modern information center of the future.

Internet: [e-mail]

Computer facilities: Computer labs for study purposes, e-mail and Internet are available in all Campuses.

Cultural Facilities: From arts through fashion, Hungarian culture is unmistakable, as it combines West-European style with East-European spices. The same combination can be found in music, in dances, in drama or in films. The student artistic groups at Kodolányi János University College are active mainly in the field of folkdance, classical dance, choir, drama, and they are open to the city and the regional public, too.

KJUC offers for its students many additional services with the courses and degree programs, especially in the field of catering, hotel management or other tourism related studies; and in the field of TV, radio, journalism related media & communication studies.

By now it owns a Radio Station called Vörösmarty Radio, has a bigger TV studio in Budapest and a smaller in Székesfehérvár, runs a printed student periodical and an on-line magazine.

Sport activities: At the University College physical education is part of the instruction in the first year. In the upper grades there are possibilities for doing sports in the sports circle individually or in groups. College sports field and weight room is at the students' disposal during 24 hours of the day. KJUC has tennis courts and sports halls, and ensures swimming pool facilities, too.
