If you are looking for another university in Budapest, see the page List of universities in Budapest''. The University of Budapest or ELTE is the oldest and biggest university in Hungary, located in Budapest. In 1950 it was renamed ''Eötvös Loránd University'', in Hungarian language ''Eötvös Loránd Tudományegyetem'' after physicist Roland Eötvös. In Latin ''Universitas Budapestinensis de Rolando Eötvös nominata''. – Before 1950, it was named ''Pázmány Péter Tudományegyetem'' (not to be confused with Péter Pázmány Catholic University, a separate university). ==History== It was founded in 1635 in Nagyszombat (today Trnava, Slovakia) by the archbishop and theologian Péter Pázmány, who left its leadership to the Jesuits, containing a Faculty of Arts and Faculty of Theology. A Faculty of Law was added in 1667, and a Faculty of Medicine was started in 1769. After the dissolution of the Jesuit order, the university was moved to Buda (a part of Budapest today) in 1777, in accordance with the intention of the founder. The university received its final location in Pest (city) (the other side of today's Budapest) in 1784. The language of education was Latin until 1844, when Hungarian was introduced as an official language. Women have been allowed to enrol since 1895. Its Faculty of Science started its separate life in 1949. Among its students were George de Hevesy, Philipp Lenard, Albert Szent-Györgyi, Georg von Békésy, John Harsanyi (winners of the Nobel Prize), John von Neumann and Lajos Kossuth. -- Today it has 8 faculties and more than 30.000 students. According to the ''Academic Ranking of World Universities'' by Sanghai University (2003), it was qualified as the second best university in Hungary (401st in the complete list, in tie), after the University of Szeged (201st in tie). ==External Links== * [http://www.elte.hu/en/nyito.html Eötvös Loránd University] (faculties are available here) * [http://teo.elte.hu/fs/ ELTE Faculty of Sciences] (description in English) * [http://www.elte.hu/egyetem/tortenet2.html Its full history in Hungarian] * [http://ed.sjtu.edu.cn/ranking.htm Academic Ranking of World Universities - 2003] Budapest Universities and colleges in Hungary
I think the redirection should work the other way: after all, the official English name of the university is "Eötvös Loránd University," not "University of Budapest" (There are a few other universities in Budapest, too.) The former is given on its own website as well. -- Or is there any Wikipedian rule or convention that universities should always be named after their location? --User:Adam78 18:56, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC) :For reasons of simplicity and also for reasons of language difficulties with native languages (typing, reading, understanding) in the English Wikipedia, universities are often - though not always - put under "University of X". A compromise would be "Eötvös Loránd University of Budapest". I mean, very few have heard of a Eötvös Loránd University, but Budapest instantly rings a bell. I would leave it at University at Budapest though, and perhaps mention other universities in Budapest inside the article on an extra heading or even on a disambiguation page. You decide ;-).
