ELTE Eötvös Loránd University - Budapest

ELTE

The Faculty of Law is one of the oldest faculties of the University. It was established in 1667 'to remit deficiencies in Hungarian legal education'. Until 1872 the Faculty of Law at ELTE was the only institution in Hungary which taught law and political sciences at university level. The Faculty aims to train graduates who have a thorough knowledge of legal and political theory of the legal system of the Republic of Hungary.
Students can enroll in Law as a speciality, taking full-time, evening or distance-learning courses. The training at the faculty aims at providing a very thorough theoretical and academic grounding as well as preparing prospective practising lawyers.
The Faculty also offers courses in Political Science. The objective of the courses is to train experts in political theory who acquire a comprehensive and systematic knowledge concerning the political structures and their major correlations in society, political institutions, the operation of political power, political organizations and values, as well as regarding socialization.
