History of the department

The Department of Hungarian Studies (at the beginning Department of Finno-Ugrian languages) was established in September 1998 with the focus on student’s preparation for specialization in translation and interpreting in Hungarian language and culture, as the eighth department of Philological Faculty of Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica. For its relatively short existence the department reached remarkable results in educational activities, as well as in the field of science and research. The department gained accreditation for the first (BSc.), second (MSc.) and third (PhD.) degree study programme in academic education and has made good contacts and co-operation with universities and research institutes in the Slovak Republic and abroad.
During the eight-year existence the Department of Hungarian Studies has qualitatively and quantitatively spread wide which helped to raise the qualifying standard of its pedagogical employees. The library of the department has also been developed gradually.
The Department of Hungarian Studies yearly organizes scientific conferences with international participation and special seminars from which almanacs are published. Within its existence the members of the department have published several kinds of books (monographs, educational texts, anthologies, almanacs ...).
The members of the department are also members of prestigious scientific commissions, associations, editorial offices of newspapers and specialized forums.
