The University of Pécs and Deutsche Telekom IT Solutions Elevate Partnership – Launch of the DT Excellence Center at Pécs

The University of Pécs (PTE) and Deutsche Telekom IT Solutions (DT-ITS) have reinforced and elevated their long-standing strategic partnership. The new agreement was officially signed in the Rector’s Council Hall of Hungary’s oldest university.

As part of this renewed cooperation, a new IT and telecommunications hub will be established under the name DT Excellence Center, set to offer professional development opportunities from September 2025 – primarily for students enrolled in PTE’s IT-related programs.

This milestone builds upon a long history of successful collaborations between DT-ITS and the University of Pécs. These joint initiatives have proven the mutual value and strength of this partnership. The new agreement aims to further deepen this relationship, with a strong focus on supporting education and research, and helping students launch their careers—ideally within the region.

The DT Excellence Center is designed to enhance students’ theoretical knowledge and practical skills through an industry-focused approach. The Center will provide access to real-life projects, professional mentoring, scholarships, certifications, and internal job postings within DT-ITS – strengthening the local economy and aligning with the university’s regional development goals.

Beyond education, the two institutions are also expanding their collaboration across research and development, innovation, professional networking, and artificial intelligence – contributing to scientific advancement and economic growth alike.

The agreement was signed by Örs Cseresnyés, Head of Operations and IT Stability at Deutsche Telekom IT Solutions; István Decsi, Chancellor of PTE; and Professor Tamás Fedeles, Vice-Rector for Education at PTE.
