A strategic partnership is being developed with Northeastern University in China, ranked among the world’s leading institutions.
On March 24, a delegation from Northeastern University of China visited our university. The discussions focused on student and faculty mobility, research collaborations, and joint projects in the fields of engineering, information technology, and intelligent systems, with the aim of establishing a long-term institutional partnership.
The delegation, led by Prof. Dr. Wang Xingwei, Vice President responsible for internationalization, IT development, and technology, held discussions on potential areas of cooperation.
Northeastern University is a highly-ranked institution that plays a significant role in international higher education in terms of its scientific performance. It is a particular honor for us that the attention and professional interest of this distinguished university in Hungary is directed toward our institution. Our partnership is grounded in the strong synergy between our research portfolios, as our guests also demonstrate outstanding recognition and success in the fields of information technology, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering, as highlighted by Prof. Dr. Levente Kovács.
(From our university, the event was also attended by, among others, Dr. Marcel Pop, Director General for International Affairs, and Prof. Dr. György Eigner, Dean of the John von Neumann Faculty of Informatics.)
The collaborations are structured around two main areas. One of these is educational and student cooperation, which includes joint degree programmes, short-term mobility schemes, and international educational initiatives, supported at the institutional level. The other pillar is scientific research cooperation, which is based on joint research projects, participation in international and governmental funding schemes, and the establishment of joint research laboratories.
Northeastern University (China) has approximately 45,000 students. It is ranked 200th globally in the Shanghai Ranking and 37th within China, while in the THE 2026 rankings it is placed in the 501-600 range. The university offers 66 undergraduate, 189 master's, and 108 doctoral programs. Its core strengths lie in traditional engineering disciplines, such as metallurgy, materials science, and mechanical engineering, as well as in modern, interdisciplinary fields including automation, information technology, and biomedical engineering. Its research activities are supported by three national key laboratories and four national engineering research centers.
The university's international collaborations are primarily based on inter-institutional agreements, which, where necessary, are complemented by project-level contracts specifying concrete resources such as funding and personnel.
