This academic excellence can be attributed to the fact that this university has shaped and created the professional intellectual elite of the Hungarian society for 378 years. The ELTE Faculty of Humanities now offers 59 BA, 76 MA and 72 PhD programs in 64 languages, and 19 different areas of training for future teachers.

Tamás Dezső, the dean of the Faculty of Humanities commented, “for this exceptional result we are grateful to our colleagues, to the best scholars, professors and researchers in the country, and .. also to the students who choose us, honour us with their trust and contribute by means of their hard work to raise the prestige of our Faculty".

The Dean encourages high school students to select from the uniquely rich portfolio of disciplines and apply to the Faculty of Humanities since – as he says – “we train the crème de le crème of the future intellectuals who will shape our future, and - according to independent polls- we give the most valuable degrees and diplomas in the market”!

The University already has a great international community but continues to welcome students from all over the world. It offers international governmental scholarships, Erasmus programs, short and long term programs and summer courses in English in many different subjects.

The Faculty of Humanities will have an open day on 24th of January 2014 starting at 10 a.m. at the Astoria, Múzeum krt campus. During this open day, everybody can get information about the different disciplines and an insight in the everyday workings of the university.
