Pázmány Péter Catholic University (reviews)

Pázmány Péter Catholic University’s law faculty offers an elite legal education highlighted by exceptionally strong Civil and Criminal Law departments. However, students face an excessive workload. I would recommend the reduction of the three semesters of Legal Philosophy alongside the two semesters Canon Law. Streamlining both subjects to a single semester each would significantly reduce student burnout and allow greater focus on the primary legal disciplines. Campus life is great, there are many programmes which you can feel involved.

I think my university has plenty international studies possibilities to e.g. experience Erasmus in abroad, but because most of the students are not informed well about the possibilities they don’t gain international experience. Although it can be useful after graduation to find a good job. Language knowledge is always a plus and it could give you a better chance to have a better job. (E.g. In the field of law: get a job in an international law office/company) I think our professors are well qualified and provide all the support to help the students to get the best grades. In my opinion my university is a bit lack of the students events, it could be improved with organising more activites and events eg.: football, basketball, handball cup besides our waterpolo team. Organising Tea afternoon, language studiing groups, parties and events could improve the students life at the university. The facilies are okay, but with more IT gadgets and electronic devises the materials of the classes could be improved. I find it peaceful in overall the atmosphere of the university which is my favourite thing to mention in my university. The administrators are nice, kind and helpful and try to help and support the students. The location of my university is perfect, just in the center of Budapest, and have access by public transport. The building and classrooms are new, nice, and big enough. I find it quiet bad that our university dormitory is closed couple years ago, so finding an accomodation for the ‘freshers’ could be a big difficulty. In overall i would say that i really like my university and if i rank it: 4/5 stars.

I started university in 2017. The first year was hard, its all about math, so if somebody comes from a high school which has a weak math education, he/she will have a harder time, but not unsolvable. At the beginning of the university, the teachers are competent, but as we progress in time we can see its flaws. There are teachers who cannot be changed because of their prestige. And after a few years there are 2 things which keep you going, is the time and effort you put into your degree and the community. Because that’s what holds it together and the directors know it and support it. Overall it’s not a bad school it’s a good school with great potential, but it needs some change which will come in the future.

I would recommend this university to anyone. It is a small one, but the professors teach you really good knowledge and they are always there to help you, even in person. A lot of good connections is available, and I you want to learn more, you will be highly supported.
