Cultural opportunities

Stimulating leisure opportunities

While Kecskemét offer a broad spectrum of cultural programmes with its theatres, cultural centres, museums, and festivals, the University itself also caters to the diverse interests of our student body.

Drama Society
Students with a theatrical bent are welcome to join the Drama Society, which stages teaching-oriented performances for children.

Theatre
Students may purchase tickets at a reduced price for performances of the Katona József Theatre in Kecskemét. Furthermore, by choosing “theatre attendance” as an elective course, students can even receive credits as regular theatre-goers.

“KEFOLK” Ensemble
An enthusiastic community of folk-music lovers and amateur musicians, the KEFOLK Ensemble holds rehearsals and events at the Teacher Training Faculty.  The Ensemble’s programme repertoire includes dances, songs, and instrumental music.
