Széchenyi István University’s other programmes and events are open to decision-makers and public-sector professionals for training, documentation and policy development. The University’s lifelong-learning offer includes postgraduate specialisation programmes, accredited and delivered by the Faculty of Law and Political Sciences, among others.

In May 2025 it organised TESIC 2025, a conference that named policymakers as a target group.
