About Faculty

ELTE Lágymányos Campus, home to three ELTE Faculties including the Faculty of Social Sciences, is located on the bank of the Danube in the Southern part of Budapest, with other universities and research institutes situated nearby. The modern building in a relaxed environment is accessible for people with disabilities.

ELTE Faculty of Social Sciences is the country’s largest social science education centre with numerous, internationally renowned and widely published faculty members which guarantees the highest level of instruction. Our school – besides strict academic requirements – has an open and collegial atmosphere where students enjoy studying. The staff’s preparedness and willingness to help makes our institution a truly inspiring space/stimulating environment.

We have a faculty with outstanding professional knowledge, and we know what kind of employees employers look for on the job market. The researchers and professionals who teach our courses make every effort to incorporate the results of humanities and natural sciences, to back up theory with practical approaches, and to go beyond skills development to inspire students to critical social thought, to seek constructive solutions, and to have an open worldview.

We recommend our courses especially to those who wish to enhance their knowledge in the field of social sciences or who wish to specialise in a narrower field of study within it. We also welcome students with various scientific backgrounds that provide significant added value to all that is taught at our faculty.

Tolerance and openness are the core values of our faculty. The programs that reach beyond studies (festivals, film clubs, discussions and debates) provide students with the opportunity to get to know one another’s cultural backgrounds.

Students participating in our English language programs not only receive an internationally recognized degree, but also enjoy the benefits of being a member of the ELTE community. This entails sporting opportunities at our sports facilities, the services of the country’s largest university library, and numerous other benefits.
