University of Debrecen (reviews)

Then followed some name changes and disruption due to World War II. Higher education in Debrecen was separated and scattered. Eventually, the various parts of university education in Debrecen were unified in 2000 and the University of Debrecen was founded – including under its name the Agricultural University of Debrecen, the Medical University of Debrecen, Lajos Kossuth University, and the István Wargha Teacher Training College.
