Teaching informatics at ELTE was initiated in 1969. The courses, offered to students of mathematics, were called computing techniques. In 1972 professor Imre Kátay recognized the growing significance of informatics and initiated a new curriculum called programmermathematician. In order to organize the introduction of the new courses the Department of Numerical and Computer Mathematics was established. The number of students was increasing rapidly, from 60 in 1972 to 400 in the eighties, and it reached 2000 by the end of the nineties. The huge department had to be divided into three specialized ones, which together created the Institute of Informatics later on. In 2003 the Institute of Informatics and the Department of Cartography of the Faculty of Science established the Faculty of Informatics.
