Learn in the school of the National Stud Farm!
De praeteritis gloriosis in futura digna!
The vocational training in Mezőhegyes was initiated in 1911 by the labour needs of the world-famous stud farm, and the current owner of the school is the National Stud and Educational Farm.
The school’s motto expresses its objective to renew agricultural vocational training: “From a glorious past to a worthy future!”
About our school
Tradition & Mission
In addition to more than two centuries of tradition in equestrian training, there is a strong local tradition of training field engineers. Since the 1961/1962 academic year, the main profile of vocational training in Mezőhegyes has been the training of agricultural mechanics, the first tractor school in the country to be started here in 1948. The institution’s role in the training of horse riders and agricultural machinery mechanics is outstanding in regional terms, as reflected in its labour market references, its results in examinations and professional competitions, and the fact that it currently welcomes students from 81 different towns.

Summer student work
Host camp
If you like good company, a wide range of leisure activities and a good-paying summer job, and you’re over 15, then this is the place for you!
Since 2018, we have been organising Birtok camp in Mezőhegyes to revive old traditions. The camp appears in the school’s professional programme under the heading “the institution’s tradition system”. In addition to the manual work of hybrid maize cultivation, we also offer vocational programmes for children during their summer internships and a wide range of leisure activities. The groups are led by teachers and school staff, and the rules on student work are strictly observed and enforced with everyone. The 2024 camp starts on 24 June and runs until 31 July, with a capacity of 50 students. Registration closed on 27 May 2024 and the advertised number of participants has been filled.
