Historical university

The original Jesuit university was founded in 1635 by the Archbishop of Esztergom, Péter Pázmány. It had a faculty of arts, faculty of theology, faculty of law (since 1667) and faculty of medicine (since 1769). It lasted 142 years in Trnava (German: Tyrnau; Hungarian: Nagyszombat) when it was moved to Buda in 1777 and finally to Pest in 1784. Its legal successor is the Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, Hungary.

The present-day university was established in 1992 and although bears the same name, it isn't a legal successor. It currently has five faculties, 4 of them seated in Trnava:[1]

  • Faculty of Philosophy and Arts
  • Faculty of Education
  • Faculty of Health and Social care
  • Faculty of Law

and 1 in Bratislava:[2]

gollark: Well, if it doesn't take 100% CPU and the HNode™ works I'll run it.
