Faculty of Humanities

szerzõ: Ms. Kata Rákóczy | 2008. April 24. 14:42:48

The history of the Faculty of Humanities goes back to 1833, when Bishop Ignác Szepessy established the Academy of Pécs for law and the humanities, with a view of continuing the tradition of the medieval university. However, the Faculty of Humanities in its present form was established in 1992.

Faculty of HumanitiesThe Faculty itself is located at several different places in Pécs: its main campus includes a botanic garden, and the beautiful arched main entrance leads into the main building where the library shared with the Faculty of Sciences can be found.

The Faculty is the only institution of its kind in the region of South Transdanubia, offering courses both in traditional disciplines and modern social sciences. It offers academic programmes leading to a university diploma in traditional areas of liberal arts and social sciences. In most of the fields our students may also choose to obtain a teacher's diploma in their selected major, since in 2003 the Teacher Training Institute has also been integrated into the Faculty. Degree programmes are offered to our students in the form of single and double majors. In addition to full-time undergraduate training our Faculty also offers undergraduate correspondent training, second degree programmes, doctoral programmes and further training programmes. The language of the academic programmes is Hungarian, except for the foreign language majors: Croatian, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Russian and Spanish.

Faculty of Humanities: booksSome unique training programmes offered at our Faculty include Hungarian as a foreign language, Croatian and German as an ethnic minority programme, Roma (Gipsy) studies, Roman provincial archaeology, theatrical studies and several specialist programmes that emphasize the international aspects of the liberal arts, such as European studies, American studies, English studies, Francophone studies, Russian translation and interpretation, Polish cultural studies.

The Faculty of Humanities has already introduced the credit system. In 2006 the Faculty started undergraduate programmes structured according to the Bologna system, which makes European higher education more compatible and comparable. As a result, foreign students can also start Bachelor programmes at our Faculty and obtain a Master's degree in their home countries.

Faculty of HumanitiesThe Faculty has developed a wide range of international relations with practically all European countries and several universities in the USA. Every year about 90 to 100 humanities students pursue their studies at various universities in England, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria and Scandinavian countries under the Erasmus programme. In terms of the number of outgoing students, our Faculty is the first one among the faculties of the University of Pécs. Thanks to the various cooperation programmes, several new resource centres have been introduced, such as the Swiss Documentation Centre and the Austrian Specialized Library, together with other specialized libraries in linguistics, philosophy, political sciences and social sciences, English and German studies.
