Short HistoryO F E Ö T V Ö S L O R Á N D
U N I V E R S I T Y
Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) was founded
in 1635 in the city of Nagyszombat by Cardi-
nal Péter Pázmány as a catholic university for
teaching theology and philosophy.
In 1777 the University was transferred to Buda,
and in the second half of the 19th century it devel-
oped into a centre of modern higher educa-
tion, covering many disciplines. In 1950 it was
named after one of its professors, the world-
famous physicist, Loránd Eötvös.
Today Eötvös Loránd University is internation-
ally recognised and has strong professional
connections all over the world. The diplomas
issued by the university are acknowledged
worldwide, and its course credits are trans-
ferable in all countries in the European Union.
The University offers more than 50 foreign lan-
guage programmes in various disciplines at all
academic levels. Students arrive from all over
the world to attend these programmes.

Short HistoryO F T H E F A C U LT Y
O F S O C I A L S C I E N C E S
The history of the Faculty of Social Sciences began
in the 1960s when a sociology research group was
created at the Faculty of Humanities of Eötvös Loránd
University. Later the research group was transformed
into a department, and the first undergraduate courses
started in 1972.
In 1982 the Institute of Sociology and Social Policy was
established, and the number of students grew contin-
uously during the 1980s and 1990s. In 2003, the Insti-
tute was joined by other departments of the University
to form the Faculty of Social Sciences. In thirty years
it has evolved from a Sociology Department which was
merely tolerated by the socialist regime into a Faculty
covering the whole spectrum of the social sciences.
Currently students can choose from a wide range of
disciplines and from an array of programmes at all lev-
els, in addition to an increasing number of courses
taught in English. Our range of courses is continuously
expanding in line with changing needs and labour
market requirements.

Research A T T H E F A C U LT Y
Staff at ELTE’s Faculty of Social Sciences have recently taken part in numer-
ous Hungarian and international research projects. These include:
– Human rights in the EU: The Institute for Political and International
Studies is working on the “Fostering Human Rights Among European
Policies” (FRAME) project (2013-2017) together with 18 organisations
from outside Hungary. The researchers are investigating how funda-
mental principles of human rights are implemented in the EU’s internal
affairs and foreign policy.
– Cultural identity, diversity, and political change: The “EUinDepth”
research project (2014-18) brings together 8 European universities and
research centres (including the Faculty’s Doctoral School of Sociology)
and 7 participating institutions from the Russian Federation. The staff
exchange programme strengthens the complementarity of the partici-
pants involved and boosts collaborative research activities.
As part of the University’s internationalisation programme, it is a prior-
ity for the Faculty of Social Sciences to involve teachers and students
in various forums on the international stage. Bilateral agreements help
to strengthen students’ and teachers’ links with foreign universities.
Between 2010 and 2015 there were 61 such agreements in place with
higher education institutions abroad.
Research CentresO F T H E F A C U LT Y
Although each research centre is run by one particular department, the
groups are very much interdisciplinary in nature, as members come from
various institutes and disciplines. The research centres have strong links
with the international academic community as well as with the market.

Study ProgrammesO F T H E F A C U LT Y
The advantagesO F S T U D Y I N G S O C I A L S C I E N C E S
Ours is a faculty with outstanding academic staff. We also know what kind
of employees employers look for on the job market. Researchers and profes-
sionals who teach the courses make every effort to go beyond skills devel-
opment to inspire students to think critically and seek constructive solutions.
The Faculty of Social Sciences has an open and collegial atmosphere
where students enjoy studying.
“Everyone has an opinion on social phenomena but far
fewer people are able to approach these issues in a sys-
tematic way. Economics is a fantastic tool for this. It is like
a pair of glasses which makes it easier to understand
complicated relationships and which you therefore
never want to take off.” — Sándor Katona, student on
the Applied Economics programme
“I am a journalist who reports on society, so I use the knowl-
edge I gained here on a daily basis. What is even bet-
ter is that I can still turn to my former teachers for help
and I am still learning from them after several years.
The Sociology department is home to exciting people
and topics.” — Veronika Munk, Sociology graduate,
currently a journalist, media researcher and sociologist

Type of programme: Full-time, taught in English
Duration of programme: 6 semesters (180 credits)
Degree: Economist in Applied Economics
The Applied Economics Programme aims at training young experts who are
able to analyse problems from an economist’s point of view. During the train-
ing, students use the most up-to-date learning materials and gain a wide range
of knowledge which prepares them to face challenges either on the interna-
tional labour market or on the international academic field as MSc students.
Applied Economics BSc is for students who: are interested in economic fore-
casts; want to understand economic and market trends and processes; want
to undergo an internationally acclaimed training; want to learn about the new-
est aspects of applied economics; are also interested in studying other social
science disciplines; and want to build careers at multinational companies;
in politics; the public administration or media sectors, or in the academic field.

Type of programme: Full-time, taught in English
Duration of programme: 6 semesters (180 credits)
Degree: International Relations Expert
Our Bachelor degree in International Relations offers students the opportu-
nity to develop specialized knowledge in international politics, security stud-
ies, EU politics, ethnic conflict, global justice and human rights. It enables
them to understand and analyse complex political and social dynamics that
go beyond state borders and cultural boundaries. The structure of the pro-
gramme offers the opportunity for students – following introductory courses
in the first year – to choose from a wide range of elective seminars.
In addition to giving students grounding in history and theory, the BA in Inter-
national Studies teaches future graduates about international politics, the
European Union and equips them with practical knowledge that can be used
in almost all countries around the world. The knowledge acquired during the
undergraduate courses lays the foundation for the MA in International Stud-
ies and other postgraduate qualifications in social sciences.

M A I N C U LT U R A L A N T H R O P O L O G Y
Type of programme: Full-time, taught in English
Duration of programme: 4 semesters (120 credits)
Degree: Cultural Anthropologist
Cultural anthropology is based on critical and interpretative thinking and
uses the approaches and methodology of social sciences. Cultural anthro-
pology has an applied perspective; methodologies include interpretation
and field research.
With this in mind, students of the Cultural Anthropology MA programme
will learn about theories and approaches, main research topics and results
of cultural anthropology. The programme particularly focuses on fieldwork
research. The students of the programme make participant observations
in micro communities to attain the cultural anthropological skills and
obtain anthropological experience. The students write and defend their
thesis from interpretations of their fieldwork research. Each student
chooses a fieldwork supervisor who will permanently consult with them
about their fieldwork experiences and research results.
Critical anthropological thinking and fieldwork experiences help the stu-
dents understand the differences and difficulties of social interactions, cul-
tural and intercultural communication and their significances in a sensi-
tive and interpretative way. Cultural knowledge is the basis of international
communication and cooperation.

Degree: Ethnic and Minority Policy Expert
The ELTE Ethnic and Minority Policy Pro-
gramme (ELTE MSP) is an international two-
year postgraduate MA programme which
was established in 1993. It is a special inter-
disciplinary educational programme that
aims to create an international community of
students and lecturers. A core strength of the
programme lies in a coordinated approach
whereby theory, applied research, and inter-
vention skills are joined together to provide
a unique academic ‘training-ground’ for
future minority policy experts. Extra-curric-
ular activities have been designed to place
students on various internships where they
become acquainted with real-life minority
situations to introduce students to an active
research culture in a supportive environment.
The increase in migration and the simul-
taneous growth in xenophobia contrib-
ute to a pressing need in Central and
Eastern Europe and in the Balkans for
highly-trained professionals who have the
insight and expertise to identify the main
social and psychological reasons behind
tensions and discrimination, and who are
also equipped with the skills and tech-
niques to handle and moderate these con-
flicts. A key objective of the Programme is
therefore to provide the expertise neces-
sary for this within Europe. However, much
of the research analysis and scientific
methods are also relevant for those who
study ethnic / race / majority-minority rela-
tions elsewhere in the world.

Type of programme: Full-time & part-time degree programme*, in English
Duration of programme: 4 semesters (120 credits)
Degree: Expert in Health Care Policy, Planning and Financing
Specialisation: Health Economics
The MSc in Health Policy, Planning and Financing is unique in Central
and Eastern Europe. It equips students with the basic knowledge offered
on similar programmes in Western Europe, but it also allows students
to apply their knowledge and specific analytical skills in the context of low
and middle-income countries.
The specialisation in Health Economics, launched in English, offers multi-
disciplinary expertise and a problem-orientated approach. Such knowl-
edge and skills will remain relevant in the long run and help graduates
understand and analyse key issues relating to the healthcare systems
of the future. These include the efficiency of health technologies, sustaina-
bility of health financing, and techniques to measure and influence the per-
formance of healthcare systems.
*From September 2016 the MSc programme can be completed as a 2-year part-time programme, too. The part-
time programme is especially tailored for those who already have working experience and would like to further
develop their knowledge and skills without giving up their working position. The contact hours of the course are
organised in three educational weeks in each semester . One week (Monday to Saturday) presence is required per
month in each month from September to November (first semester) and from February to April (second semester).
The MSc in Health Policy, Planning and Financing prepares students for
careers in both the private and public sectors. These include healthcare
governance and financing at the national and local level as well as careers
at pharmaceutical companies, public and private healthcare providers and
education and research institutions. Foreign students studying at Hungar-
ian medical universities may choose to combine their medical degree with
the degree offered by our programme.

Duration of programme: 8 semesters (240 credits)
The programme aims to train a new generation of scientists dedicated
to sociology and the social sciences and equip them with the necessary
skills to acquire a PhD qualification, carry out independent academic
research and lecture at postgraduate level.
There are several key strengths of this PhD programme. The Department has
links at several universities abroad and in addition to being compatible with
international social science doctoral programmes, the PhD programme also
gives students the opportunity to study abroad for short periods of time.
We offer a research-orientated training programme, which is interdiscipli-
nary in nature and combines quantitative and qualitative methods.

The Postgraduate Specialist Training Course is an interdisciplinary one-
year programme that focuses on the study of international human rights
from both a theoretical and practical perspective. Students take courses
offered by the European Studies Department, as well as human rights
courses offered by other departments of the ELTE Faculty of Social
Sciences, such as Cultural Anthropology, Political Sciences, and Sociol-
ogy. It is a part-time correspondence course. We welcome those who wish
to pursue a career in international human rights, for instance those who
plan to go on UN peacekeeping and/or political mission trips, or those
who work for governmental or non-governmental organisations dealing
with human rights issues.

Why studyingI N B U D A P E S T
I S A G R E A T C H O I C E
Over the past decade Budapest has become one of Central Europe’s
most popular destinations for both tourists and students, especially
among young people. This should come as no surprise, as Budapest
offers a plethora of cultural events, cafés, ‘ruin pubs’ and baths, as well
as vibrant nightlife, affordable accommodation and services. The ser-
vice infrastructure for visitors and expats is also well-organized.
With its rich cultural traditions and international atmosphere, Buda-
pest offers a vibrant student life. At the meeting point of East and
West, Budapest, the capital of Hungary, is an excellent place to
study old and new, cultures, societies, traditions as well as ongo-
ing social change.
Our campus is situated on the banks of the Danube, south-west of the
city centre, with excellent road and public transport connections to
the very heart of Budapest.
„Just be ready for such a great experience at ELTE, you’ll fall in love
with the city as well as the people who will take care of you during
your stay.” — Eduardo Carrasco Martín, Erasmus student from Spain
DiscoverT H E C I T Y
– take a walk by the Danube, on Margaret Island or in the City Park
– get an amazing view of the city from Gellért Hill or Buda Castle
– take a boat trip on the Danube and see the Chain Bridge close up
– buy local specialities in the Central Market Hall
– see the Hungarian Parliament from the inside
– experience the atmosphere of the ‘ruin pubs’ in the city centre
– try Budapest’s thermal baths and swimming pools
– go to museums, concerts and cinemas
M E N T O R I N G S Y S T E M
The Faculty of Social Sciences runs a mentoring system for inter-
national students. International students can therefore request and
receive assistance even before they arrive. The direct relationship
between the mentor and the student means that problems can be
addressed on an individual and personalised basis.
„Eötvös Loránd University offers its international students a broad range
of student activities organised by ESN ELTE. As a new student in an unfamil-
iar environment, I cannot emphasise enough how much the Student Net-
work helped me to adapt.” — Joren Brouns, Erasmus student from Belgium

Student lifeO N T H E C A M P U S
The University is more than just an educational insti-
tution. It is also a creative community which plays
a decisive role in people’s careers. Our Faculty
views future social science professionals as active
individual thinkers. We do not just want our stu-
dents to listen, we also want their voices to be heard
both within and beyond the university walls and
community life in the Faculty very much reflects this.
Teachers and students at the Faculty of Social
Sciences regularly organise joint conferences,
film clubs, academic discussions and debates,
often inviting renowned Hungarian and interna-
tional researchers and key figures. These events
allow students to get to know each other’s cul-
tural backgrounds.
Students participating in our English-language
programmes also enjoy the benefits of being a mem-
ber of the ELTE community. This includes sport-
ing opportunities at the University’s athletic facili-
ties, the services of the country’s largest university
library, and numerous other benefits.
