The Regional University Knowledge Centre for Vehicle Industry is established at the Széchenyi István University in the national Pázmány Péter Programme.

The center includes the next activities:

Establishing a scientific and technological center for vehicle industry
Realization of car and vehicle industrial innovation of  great significance in the area
Operating an R+D network aiming at the “crucial mass”
Generating competitive advantages

The Rector's Office, which is headed by the Secretary General, carries out the managing tasks in connection with the central administrative, educational, international and research work of the university.

The Financial and Technical Management is responsible for solving the tasks connected to the following areas: budget planning, financial issues in relation to the money supplying function of the supervising body, cashflow, budget management, resources, human resource management, financial management, reports, accounting, data supply prescribed by legislation for budgeting institutions, and internal control of economic processes.

The Centre of Distance and Vocational Education offers a number of short courses, both on a post-secondary and post-graduate level. In general, short non-degree courses are becoming more popular. Having Recognised the need for new types of studies, the University is getting more involved in distance education. Besides several shorter courses and pre-university studies, some degree courses can be taken in this form. Being the North Transdanubian Centre for distance education, the University satisfies regional needs in this field.

The scientific communications of the Széchenyi István University of Applied Sciences are issued in the Hungarian Electronic Journal of Sciences (http://heja.szif.hu). The purpose of the Journal is to present the results of research conducted at the University and, while ensuring the possibility of quick, referred electronic publishing, at both national and international levels, to improve the quantity and quality of publication activity of educational staff.

In 2000 the Hungarian Satellite Centre of the International Mc Leod Institute of Simulation Sciences was established at the Széchenyi István University of Applied Sciences. The Satellite Centre is a member of the distributed international research and education institute with centres in 14 countries distributed around the World ranging from the American continent through Europe to the Far East. The aim of the interna-tional institute working in form of a chain of centres of excellence is to undertake re-search and education in the field of computer simulation. This means that beyond the exchange of simulation software and scientific results it seeks to co-operate in interna-tional scientific projects. Since the centres are located at universities in the various countries, seeks - beyond the education provided locally at the individual places - to provide curricula and international M.Sc. as well as Ph.D. degrees in simulation sci-ences in which the individual centres will participate. 

The Central Library is the information centre for specialist literature in the University, but it also operates as a public technical library in the Transdanubia region. Its collection contains Hungarian and foreign books connected to the specialist areas taught at the University of Applied Sciences. Today its holdings amount to 200,000 books and 550 periodicals.

The Centre of Physical Education and Sports is an independent educational organisational unit of the University and it consists of the physical education teachers and the staff looking after the sport fields and buildings. The centre is responsible for the students' health education. It supervises the teaching of physical education, sets the subject requirements, prepares students for meeting the requirements, tests students' achievements, making the best use of the University's facilities. The University is built next to the river Moson-Danube, so there are many possibilities for swimming and rowing.

The Students' Halls Of Residence is one of the biggest hostels operating in Hungary. It provides accommodation for 1,300 students in rooms for three. It has a nice riverbank location which makes it suitable to accommodate paying guests as well, especially in summer. It is convenient for sport camps, student camps and conferences.

The Student Self-Government represents the interests of the students at each level and in each body of the University of Applied Sciences. The Student Self-Government as-serts the students' legal rights, decides on the allocation of state support and assists in dealing with the educational and social concerns of the students.
