Péter Lakatos will retain his position as Dean of the Faculty of Music at the University of Debrecen. According to the dean, who has been at the helm for the past seven years, the Debrecen institution covers the broadest spectrum of higher education in music at present, but expansion and development continue to remain primary goals at the Faculty of Music of the University of Debrecen (DE ZK). Péter Lakatos, who has just been re-elected for another five years, regards it an important task to make studying music both for Hungarian and international students at our university even more attractive than it currently happens to be, while making sure that the Faculty of Music should continue to be ranked among the best institutions.
