The university also operates an associated Basic Medicine campus in Geochang County, South Korea.

The university incorporated the theology, law, and arts faculties of the college and added a medical school.

The primary goal of the "reorganization" was to split the university into smaller, less integrated institutions, and also to weaken or even dissolve units which did not fit to the Soviet agenda of the day.

The Debrecen Summer School, founded in 1927, is also located on campus, although it is technically independent of the university.

The most popular journal of the university is Egyetemi Élet ('University Life') and the leading online media of students is www.egyetemportal.hu.

The university also publishes the Hungarian Journal of English and American Studies [8] In January 2023, the Hungarian government inaugurated a new supercomputer known as Komondor located at the centre of the Government IT Development Agency (KIFU) on the campus of the University of Debrecen.
