Mihai Razvan Ungureanu honorary doctor of the University of Pécs since 13 December 2012.
The Rector and the Senate of the University of Pécs has approved the nomination of Mr. Mihai Razvan Ungureanu, former prime minister of Romania to be its honorary doctor, who had been nominated by professor Attila Miseta, the dean of the Faculty of Medicine. As stated in the nomination letter, the teaching staff members of the Faculty of Medicine had been in close collaboration with the medical and pharmacist colleagues from Tirgu Mures. During the past five years the UP Faculty of Medicine has received appr. 300 students from Tirgu Mures on a tuition fee waiver, mainly for part time education. More than sixty teaching staff members from Pécs have taught seminars of various lengths in Tirgu Mures. Throughout the various discussions it became clear that without the independent Hungarian education unit the whole medical education in Tirgu Mures would be in danger. The government of Mihai Razvan Ungureanu recognized that the peaceful living together of the neighbouring ethnic groups was the key pillar of EU's sustainability and that preserving mother tongue was one of its most important elements.
