History

[edit]

The institution was established in Székesfehérvár in 1992, following the plans of Lajos Rockenbauer and Péter Szabó, with the support of Bertalan Andrásfalvy, former Minister of Education. It was named after writer János Kodolányi due to his contributions to the city.[7] In 1994, the institution started its own local radio station. Its Budapest campus was inaugurated in 1998. The Orosháza campus was opened in 2004.[8] It is the first university in Székesfehérvár, and has operated as a college until July 31, 2018. After serving as rector for twenty years, Péter Szabó has not sought re-election in 2023. The faculty senate is currently headed by Acting Rector Dr. Tamás László Vizi.

In 2020, Kodolányi János University was acquired by Docler Holding, a corporate group focused on information technology.[9] In 2023, the university has been integrated into the educational portfolio of a Székesfehérvár-based holding company, Albensis Tudásközpont.[10] The new management aims to reassess the university's strategic priorities.
