ABOUT MISKOLC CITY

There were people living in the stone age in the north-eastern part of Hungary among the mountains. Miskolc as important centre for commerce and trade played great role and around the late 18th century a metallurgical work was founded. The region was developing and became the largest industrial zone of the country having metallurgical industry, machine industry, cement mills, textile mills, coal mines, two chemical factories and before the World War II the city wanted a Technical University and this requirement met the Act of 1949. Since the new democratic regime was born in 1990 there has been big change in manufacturing fields. Engineering value added products were needed and large-scale international enterprises settled down like Robert Bosch, National Instruments and many other Medium-size companies. The city has beautiful surroundings in the mountainous area with waterfalls, lake, resort places with cave swimming pool, archeologically relics like Diósgyőr Castle, cultural sights like Museum, Greek Orthodox Church, National Theatre. 200,000 inhabitants provide the third largest city rank in the country and counting 15,000 UM students and 10,000 secondary school pupils of Miskolc is recognised as a School and University city.
