University of Szeged Faculty of Health Sciences and Social Studies

In the spring semester of the 2024/2025 academic year, our Faculty launched a new elective course titled “Debate! Developing Argumentation Skills”. The aim of the course was to enhance students' rhetorical abilities, logical reasoning, and confidence in public speaking. Over seven in-person sessions, nearly 20 students participated actively in various debate practices.

In the spring semester of the 2024/2025 academic year, the Faculty of Health Sciences and Social Studies at the University of Szeged (SZTE ETSZK) introduced a new elective course titled Mastering Presentation Techniques. Launched alongside the Debate and Argumentation Skills course, this new subject aimed to enhance students’ public speaking and communication skills in both academic and everyday contexts.

This four-session workshop series will provide master's students with practical, evidencebased approaches to health promotion across multiple dimensions. Students will learn to develop and implement thematic plans and activity plans for various health topics based on scientific principles. Each 45-minute session includes 30 minutes of content delivery followed by 15 minutes of interactive application, where students will practice creating intervention plans for different age groups.

We are delighted to invite all interested participants to the 1st Szeged International Health Science Conference, organized by the Faculty of Health Sciences and Social Studies, University of Szeged.
