Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) is the oldest and, with its 8 faculties and more than 30.000 students, the biggest university in Hungary. The broad range and high quality of its education, along with its research capacity, place among the leading academic institutions of the country. The past decade brought remarkable changes in the life of the University. Its dynamic development has resulted in integrating the formerly scattered institutions, buildings and research facilities.

The Faculty of Science on its new campus in South Buda has 40 departments grouped into five Institutes. These cover disciplines in biology, chemistry, earth sciences,  mathematics and physics. There are about 6,000 full-time graduate, about 500 Ph.D. students and over 600 academic staff members. Besides a comprehensive educational curriculum, there is a vigorous program of research in all departments. The Faculty itself is thus a major national scientific resource.

This website is an introduction to the Faculty of Science, covering the educational and scientific activities in each part of the Faculty, and providing an list of contact names and addresses. (Under construction)

Changes are taking place throughout all areas of life in Hungary at present. Adjusting our work to take account of the new circumstances presents a major challenge, and a vital component of development in the near future will involve working with institutions and individuals beyond our borders, first of all in European Union countries. Whether you are an academic wishing to take part in scientific or educational exchange, a student interested in one of our English- (or other) language courses, or are simply curious, we look forward to receiving your inquires.
