Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (BTK)

scientia et fidelitate

ABOUT THE FACULTY

The Faculty of Humanities was established in 1992 by the Hungarian Catholic Bishops’ Conference. Due to the increasing number of academic programs in social sciences, our Faculty was renamed Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in 2012. The former Vitéz János Faculty located in Esztergom was integrated into our Faculty as the Vitéz János Centre for Teacher Training in 2013. The Faculty attaches great importance to the training of future teachers.

At the Faculty, there are Bachelor, Master and PhD programs in the fields of humanities, social sciences and economics, ranging from Hungarian and several foreign languages to history, art history, philosophy, aesthetics, psychology, sociology, international studies and more. This gives the advantage of diversity, which proves that Pázmány is a unique university in Hungary. The Faculty offers different environments and atmospheres for those who want to master an area in the arts and social sciences.

Our values are fundamentally defined by our Catholic heritage. Respect for one another, building and maintaining a tight-knit community that thrives and academic achievement are equally important to us. We make great efforts to provide a nurturing environment for learning, in which the abilities, skills, and needs of students are carefully considered. We firmly believe that the enduring prestige of our diplomas and the positive reception of our graduates in the job market reflect the strength of our core values.
