University of Pécs

The historic city of Pécs, Hungary is proud to house the country’s oldest university. The internationally recognized University of Pécs was founded in 1367 by King Louis the Great. Rebuilt after World War I, the University was reorganized.
The University Hospital and the research institutions were housed in the central city hospital, the Episcopal Library, the old academy of law and various schools. Today, however, most of the research and teaching facilities of the Medical School are located in one area. All the student service facilities, including the Medical School’s Administration, and the Student Activity Areas have also been consolidated into the same campus.
