The career day was organized jointly by the Anglo-American Institute of the Faculty of Arts and the Debrecen BSC Round Table within the framework of the English Professional Week for Hungarian and foreign students currently studying here. The program was organized by the institute’s students with the aim of getting advice on career opportunities in Debrecen, as well as gaining useful information on practical topics such as job interviews and CV writing.

The event also created an opportunity for the participants to get to know the various companies of the Debrecen BSC Round Table through the introductory presentations.

“Many of our former students work at these companies, proving that as a humanities student with knowledge of a foreign language, many opportunities await employees starting their careers in business life as well” – said Balázs Venkovits in his greeting.

The director of the Anglo-American Institute emphasized: the event is exemplary, as it reflects the success of the collaboration between students, instructors and external partners, proving at the same time that the courses of the faculty and the institute provide knowledge that is a reliable basis for future career building. The University of Debrecen stands out among domestic higher education institutions not only with its high-level education, but also with its extensive corporate relationships, this is supported by, among other things, the cooperation between the institution and the Debrecen BSC Round Table since 2018, within the framework of which eight different courses are currently available in six languages away from the students.

“The joint work with the Anglo-American Institute started in 2019 with the Real-life Business business training, which has been operating since then, thanks to which 30-40 students can acquire special knowledge first-hand, with the involvement of company professionals” – explained Éva KissnĂ© NyĂ©ki, Debrecen BSC Roundtable project manager.

At the event, experts and managers from 4IG, BT, Diehl, DT-ITS, EPAM, Flowserve, NI and Transcosmos – all former students of UD – shared their experiences with those interested, hoping that this they can provide assistance in career building to future employees.

First, the focus was on aerobics, then spine up and stretching.

The exercise program traditionally held by DESKI every semester had a great atmosphere this time as well. It was a great opportunity for young people to build a community, relax and recharge. By the way, it also offered the opportunity to replace physical education lessons.

It was made with unique music by instructor Marianna Csire, especially for this occasion. The university students had a real physical and mental recharge, as the first half of the evening consisted of a more dynamic part, followed by a calmer stage in which yoga was the focus.

The popularity of the event is indicated by the fact that the advertised places usually fill up in seconds, this time was no different.

Sisi and Ferenc JĂłzsef were married 170 years ago – secrets about the historic wedding /culture/2024/04/24/sisi-and-ferenc-jozsef-were-married-170-years-ago-secrets-about-the-historic-wedding/ /culture/2024/04/24/sisi-and-ferenc-jozsef-were-married-170-years-ago-secrets-about-the-historic-wedding/#respond Wed, 24 Apr 2024 12:30:30 +0000 /?p=245798 Exactly 170 years ago, on April 24, 1854, one of the most famous couples in history got married: Emperor Francis Joseph and Elizabeth Wittelsbach, or Sisi. The figure of the legendary Queen Elizabeth can be seen in only two Madame Tussauds productions in the world: in Vienna and Budapest. Back home, these days they pay tribute to the memory of the royal wedding with the waltzing melodies of the Blue Danube.

Elizabeth was only 16 years old when she married one of Europe’s most powerful rulers, the then 24-year-old Ferenc JĂłzsef. “For a long time, we knew that Elizabeth’s sister, Ilona, was originally intended to be the ruler, but according to the latest research, this was not predetermined,” said museologist IldikĂł Faludi, an employee of the GödöllĹ‘ Royal Castle Museum. “There were very few girls matching JĂłzsef Ferenc’s age and rank. Palatine JĂłzsef’s daughter, ErzsĂ©bet, was discussed among others, but court politics wanted to strengthen relations with Germany rather than with Palatine JĂłzsef, who represented Hungary. As the candidates dwindled, the attention shifted to JĂłzsef Ferenc’s cousins, the Wittelsbach girls,” explained the expert. Ferenc JĂłzsef and Sisi must have met twice before their first official date, the first time the future queen was only 5 years old, and the second time she was 10 years old.

The mother, Ludovika, took her daughters to Ischl to meet the young emperor on the occasion of his birthday. The then 18-year-old Ilona might have been the first choice, but for Ferenc JĂłzsef, only Sisi existed. “It was love at first sight for JĂłzsef Ferenc. Practically immediately, he saw Sisi as his future betrothed. The girl returned home two weeks later with the fact that the engagement had officially taken place. Until the wedding, the lovers met three more times, and then on April 20, 1854, Sisi left Munich for Vienna to marry JĂłzsef Ferenc,” said the museologist. The bride arrived in Vienna on the 22nd, greeted by the roar of cannons and the ringing of bells.

The wedding itself must have been a terrible test for the compassionate 16-year-old girl. Unusually, they marched to the altar at seven in the evening in the church of the Augustinian order, then the ceremony was followed by a reception and dinner for the guests, and the young couple even visited the Viennese folk festival to greet people from an open car. The tired, terrified, introverted Sisi, who repeatedly violated etiquette, couldn’t wait for the evening to end. The honeymoon did not mean a release either, as the busy ruler returned home to Vienna every morning to manage the country’s affairs.

As difficult as that particular day 170 years ago was for the protagonists, the people of the empire greeted the new queen with unprecedented love, and Sisi has been the subject of two big-budget TV series in the past two years alone. Sisi was one of the most influential female figures in history.

Only two Madame Tussauds in the world have a wax figure of Sisi. The figure seen in Budapest was made over several months in a workshop near London with the involvement of sculptors, artists and experts. Visitors can admire Sisi’s beautiful, legendary long hair. He washed his hair crown with a special shampoo he had developed in-house, which also contained raw eggs and cognac. She spent 2-3 hours a day caring for her hair, and washing her hair took a whole day. The special feature of the figure from Budapest is that it also has a tattoo that few people know about. In 1888, Sisi had an anchor tattooed on himself, thus expressing his passion for travel. In honor of the wedding, visitors can listen to the Blue Danube waltz and, of course, get on Sisi’s carriage.

The Madame Tussauds Budapest awaits its visitors with a unique interactive experience
