Faculty of Law
The Faculty of Law and State Administration has
played a major role in the history of Hungarian
higher education ever since the foundation of the
University of Pécs in 1367. In addition to the
traditional university-level training of lawyers
in the form of both full-time and part-time
training, the Faculty of Law and State
Administration provides for the training of
college-level legal administrators in the
framework of both full-time and part-time
training, and for the training of
post-secondary-level legal assistants, also in
the framework of both full-time and part-time
training. The training repertoire secures the
full range of trainings from basic university
level to specialized legal trainings to doctoral
trainings.

training program for general physicians in
English as the language of education in the early
80ies. In 2000 the training of pharma-cologists
was launched as a major profile extension in the
field of medical training in Pécs. It is the
university clinics that secure and provide for
the majority of the in-patient medical services
in the city of Pécs and in South-Trans-Danubia.
Various health centers of regional importance
have been established in the city of Pécs in
cooperation with the university clinics.

Social Care, in Modern Languages and History with
the possibility of an additional teachers
qualification as an elective educational track.

relations and European studies with focus on
Anglophone and Francophone studies, are issued.

specialist degrees are offered in nine subfields
of the health science and a complementary

There is an increasing interest in and
opportunity for issuing post-secondary-level
degrees in the various fields of the health
sciences. The international relations and
cooperations of the Faculty of the Health
Sciences are of a great importance so that
students and faculty members can participate in
educational and training exchanges.

Illyés Gyula Faculty of Education
The Faculty of Teacher Training in Szekszárd
originally joined the University of Pécs as a

market, social worker training, a four-year
college-level training of English and German
language teachers, a specialization for remedial
physical education teachers and business
administrators, and a post-secondary-level
training of information statisticians and
economic planners were also introduced. The
educational and training profile of the Teacher

trainings in the field of adult education
offering qualifications for assistants in
remedial pedagogy and trainers of traditional
social games and craftsmanship.

business people both in its educational and
research activities. From the early 1980-ies it
has been acknowledged as the second national
training center of economists in Hungary with a
flexible training profile and a wide range of
specializations in the field of economics. Its

higher educational landscape of Pécs since its
foundation in 1948 as part of the former Teacher
Training College. Since the integration with
the University of Pécs in 1982 it has widened its
educational profile, attaining accredited
university-level education in several major
