Equal opportunities

The University may, at the student's request, set requirements for students with disabilities that differ
in part or in full from those included in the curriculum or, based on Section 49 (8) of the Higher Education
Act1, may waive such requirements.
The most common disabilities for which special education requirements may be determined: reduced
mobility, auditory and visual impairments, speech and other impairments (especially serious speech
impairments, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, etc.), and autism.
The Equal Opportunities Committee deals with issues related to promoting the equal opportunities of
students:
• Passes decisions on applications submitted by disabled students regarding education and exam
requirements.
• Monitors the use of normative support aimed at aiding the studies of disabled students and
purchases of tangible assets used to provide assistance.
♦ Submits recommendations for the Faculty and University leaders on ensuring the full equality
of students with disabilities. Proceeds in its present competence at the student's request, to
which the relevant certification shall be attached.
The order for submitting applications:
Students may submit equal opportunities applications by way of the Neptun system. If they are unable
to do so, they may also submit hard-copy documents to the Faculty equal opportunities coordinator.

The Chairman of the Equal Opportunities Committee and the representative for the Faculty of
Humanities and Social Sciences: Zsolt Almási (aimasi-zsolt^btk.ppke.hu)
Representative for the Faculty of Information Technology and Bionics: Dr. Orsolya Balogh Vargáné

1 Section 49 (8) of Act CCIV of 2011 on National Higher Education: Conditions for studying and taking exams shall
be adjusted to the given disability in the case of students with disabilities. Moreover, disabled students shall be
provided assistance for fulfilling obligations ensuing from their status as students.
In justified cases, disabled students shall be exempted from taking certain subjects, studying certain units, or
taking exams and being tested. If required, disabled students shall be exempted from taking language
examinations, a part of those, or their level. A longer preparation period shall be ensured during exams. The use
of technical aids, and therefore, in particular, typewriters and computers, shall be provided for compiling reports
in writing, or by substituting a written exam with an oral one and vice versa. Exemptions granted under the present
paragraph shall exclusively be ensured in connection with circumstances serving as the grounds for exemption and
may not lead to exemption from fundamental academic requirements required for obtaining the qualifications
attested by a certificate.

Educational counselling and career counselling

Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences
Career counselling, available since 2002, helps maintain and, if necessary, restore mental hygiene and
health.
The Life Skills Consultancy Center provides a psychologist and a number of peer coaches who offer
individual psychological counselling to the Faculty's students. The Centre's associates work with great
devotion to provide a helping hand to all students who feel lost at the University or simply need some
help or guidance in any areas of their lives. The service is free of charge. Both the psychologist and the
peer coaches work in strict confidence.
Psychological counselling
Professional psychologists are available to provide support in solving personal problems, issues related
to education, career choices, family or relationships, and other life management difficulties. The
counselling provides students with an opportunity to talk in confidence about different issues in a
friendly, open environment that offers personalized assistance and possible solutions.

Peer counselling
The word "peer" indicates that students receive assistance from peer or slightly older - but still non­
graduate - psychology MA students. Peer coaches provide informative counselling regarding university
life and engage in supportive conversation to students who feel they are experiencing some obstacles
in their lives and would like to move forward in finding a solution.
Career orientation and career counselling
Sometimes people don't know if they're on the right track and don't have a definite idea as to which
career or field to choose, or don't know what kind of job to look for. Career orientation counselling uses
tests that help students better assess their skills and goals, mapping their strengths and any weaknesses.
This helps clarify not only the direction in which it is worth heading, but counsellors also help plan
specific steps, write CVs, and prepare for job interviews.

Faculty of Information Technology and Bionics
The career counselling provided by the Faculty of Information Technology and Bionics operates in part
within the framework of the Registrar's Office with the help of the psychologist employed by the Faculty
and in part based on the close, direct cooperation between active students and alumni. Our alumni
mailing list includes useful information, job offers, events, grant opportunities, etc. The Registrar's Office
also coordinates possibilities for practice periods. We also provide support to our students in the form
of personal counselling. Starting from the previous academic year, the Faculty employs a psychologist
who students can turn to with their problems. Some Students' Union members also deal with alumni
contacts and professional opportunities. The http://itk.ppke.hu/en website provides information on the
Students' Union's current projects related to educational counselling
Career counselling services at the Faculty of Information Technology and Bionics are provided jointly by
the students and Faculty employees. (The list of people responsible for the various fields can be found
below.) As almost all majors require students to participate in practice periods, this helps create many

long-term relationships between students and workplaces at this early stage: employers are often happy
to offer jobs to interns after graduation.
Once a year, the Faculty organizes an alumni meeting, which provides an opportunity for graduates and
undergraduates to meet Faculty teachers and other interested persons. At the meeting, alumni students
share their experiences regarding professional progress, workplaces, and job opportunities with senior
students.
Twice a year, the Faculty organizes fairs for its permanent partners, which provides companies with an
opportunity to directly contact students and offer them positions for the practice periods.
Since the Registrar's Office and the Students' Union receive news of many job offers from a wide range
of areas in IT and bionics, a separate, internal website is dedicated to sharing current intern positions
and job opportunities, and a weekly student newsletter is also used to provide these to students.

Faculty of Law and Political Sciences
The PPCU Faculty of Law and Political Sciences has offered career counselling since 2007. The service is
provided by the Career Office run by the Deák Ferenc Institute. The fundamental aim of the office is to
create opportunities that help University students best prepare for the difficulties of launching their
careers and adapting to the demands of the labor market. We help develop various abilities and skills
and provide students with knowledge and information that help them start their careers. The activities
extend to both professional fields and activities independent from professions (psychological,
sociological, and self-awareness issues) that are the building blocks of personality development.
Though the main target group of the activity is the students in the second half of their university studies,
we also often help alumni requiring help in launching their careers or who are considering switching
careers.
The Office's activity can be divided into three major fields: 1, personal counselling; 2. mediating practice
periods, job offers, grants, and scholarships; 3. organizing trainings, events, and lectures.

Personal counselling
The Office is open to everyone. If anyone has any questions, opinions to share, or issues related to
studies, launching their careers, or career orientation, qualified counsellors are ready to help find the
answers. Help is generally provided in the form of personal counselling or in small groups. Students also
frequently contact the office with issues related to their studies or administrative questions. The
answers to a part of these may be answered by career counselling, and the office also helps in identifying
the competent organizational unit, the form to submit, or the proper procedure.

�PPCU Eí’CC-- :

IWSf .tATICW 2019/2020 - GENERAL ÍNPORMMíO;

It is important to note that personal career orientation counselling is not a psychological activity,
therefore we contact the relevant experts if a student contacting the office needs special help.

Sharing opportunities
The most profession-oriented of the Office’s functions is the mediation of various practice period
opportunities, job offers, and other options required for professional advancement, and continued
studies. To provide this service, the Office maintains a good relationship with major employers in the
field of law and administration, law offices, the legal departments of companies and organizations, and
various entities of state administration and the public sector. The Career Office uses different channels
of communication to share the notices of the above employers or, in the case of grants and scholarships,
universities. It collects the experiences gained from the interest shown and integrates these into the
planning process of organizing other activities. When announcing different grants and scholarships, the
Office often contacts departments, teachers, and other University organizational units whose
professional knowledge and contacts can be shared with students through the publicity provided by the
office.
Organizing programs
The third major function of the Career Office's career orientation activity is the organization of programs
that approach the demands and opportunities of the labor market from a different aspect. We organize
various lectures and presentations that aim to motivate University students to collect as much
information as they can during their studies about the different fields in their profession. We often invite
alumni - both those working outside of or at the University - who can set an example in some respect
and shed light on opportunities and obstacles that students will be faced with.
Trainings touch upon important personal traits that, although they may not be included in the model
curriculum, are essential for successful integration in a workplace.
We also provide more specific useful information related to starting a career, including career planning,
applying for jobs, writing CVs, and other similar practical areas.

Related areas
The performance of the Faculty's career orientation activities entails coming into contact with numerous
related areas that are beneficial to all participants when integrated. Career tracking has been performed
at a university level for a number of years. Its results can and should be regularly used in career
orientation counselling, as being familiar with the ideas of today’s students and the careers of alumni
provides useful information on the opportunities open for today’s fresh graduates.

Office hours
The Office is open to students from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM every day between September and June. We
recommend making an appointment by phone or email for career guidance talks and consultations
regarding CVs and job interviews.

Tutorial Association
The Pázmány Péter Catholic University's Faculty of Law and Political Sciences has operated a Tutorial
Association since 2004. Tutoring aims to help students, primarily first-year students, with university life.
Attached to their admission information, a letter is sent to all first-year students from their own tutors,
who provide help regarding enrollment, registering for subjects, preparing for exams, the freshman
camp, and any other problematic issues.

9

�PPCU Educational Information 2019/2020 - General information

The Association is different from similar groups at other universities because first-year students get a
chance to develop a much more personal relationship, a friendship, with their tutors, allowing them to
feel closer to the University community. Moreover, it helps bonds form between students of the same
year even before their first classes.
The Freshmen Days, Pázmány Day, Pro Facultate Day, charity actions, and other cultural, community­
building, and commemorative programs are organized in cooperation with the Students' Union. These
programs al! serve to add color to the already high quality of the University's social life.
During their years spent at Pázmány University, all students become closer acquainted with the Tutorial
activity and receive first-hand experience on the goals and nature of the association. Tutorial work
requires great commitment and effort, and a tutor needs to be up-to-date on al! educational issues
involving the University.
The Association recruits new members every spring. It is important to note that only freshmen and
sophomores may apply, as tutors will have 3-4 groups during their university years. Thus, the later they
apply, the fewer groups they can take. Another condition for application is that tutors may not be
involved in the Students1 Union. Freshmen applicants can then participate in Potential Camp, where the
board of the Association observes the aptitude, creativity, and organizational skills of applicants. The
camp lasts two nights and provides an opportunity for tutors and applicants to become acquainted with
each other through playful activities.
Admission interviews are held after the camp, which primarily consider the applicant's competence in
educational issues. Having interviewed every applicant, the board considers the relevant information
and makes its final decision behind closed doors.

Neptun

The Neptun Unified Education System provides electronic administration services for the University's
educational, financial, and education organizational functions. The Neptun student interface
(hereinafter! HWEB) can be accessed at https://neptun2.ppke.hu/hallgatp2/Login.aspx or via the
Faculties' websites. Detailed information on the system's operation is available on the Neptun login
screen. All of the University's students have the credentials (Neptun ID) to log into the system. Students
can use the system for the following main functions:
Date Records
The University uses Neptun to store student data including place and date of birth, addresses, phone
numbers, email addresses, personal ID number, etc. Law requires both the student and the University
to keep the data current. All changes to personal data must be reported to the University within eight
days. Changes to official documents and names must be certified by presenting the official document
certifying such change to the Registrar's Office. Other data can be freely changed on the HWEB (e.g.
email addresses, phone numbers). The University forwards student information to the Higher Education
Information System (FIR). Of the phone numbers the student provides, the University forwards the most
current landline and the default mobile phone number to the FIR; of the email addresses, the University
forwards the default email address.
Official Notices
Students receive official notices from their teachers and administrators dealing with educational issues
via the Neptun system. The system also sends automated messages on changes to certain studiesrelated data (such as logging grades, changes in exam dates). According to the Education and Exam
Policy, students are obligated to check all Neptun messages. The University considers any information
published in this manner to have been communicated on the 8th day following the date of sending.

Registration, subject registration, and exam registration
In the period indicated in the applicable schedule, students have to register in the HWEB at the beginning
of each semester for an active or passive semester. Students registered as active are authorized to
register for subjects and exams in Neptun.

Tracking educational achievements
The educational details of the current semester and the results of previous semesters (including
registered subjects, exam results, study averages, credit points, and official records) are available on
HWEB at anytime.
Financial affairs
The financial affairs of students (including making and receiving payments) are also managed by Neptun.
Students can make payments using bank cards suitable for online payment.
Other administration
The system provides a possibility for tending to other administrative affairs related to studies, such as
requests for student cards, assignment of student loans, submission of applications for reclassification,
completing forms, etc.

Foreign scholarships
There is an increasing number of opportunities for the University's students and teachers to participate
in study trips abroad, which is primarily due to our colorful exchange programs.
• Erasmus+:
In Europe: The European Union's most successful mobility program, which Hungary joined in 1997 and
the University joined in the 1999/2000 academic year. We are presently in contact with close to 200
partner universities, including numerous reputable European academic institutions.
Student mobility is realized in the form of studying courses abroad (for a semester or a full academic
year) and practice periods. About 150 University students make use of this opportunity.
Outside of Europe (international credit mobility): A mobility program for outside of Europe, used to
supplement "traditional" Erasmus mobility: The University has participated in the program since the
2016/2017 academic year and presently has 7 partner countries (Jordan, Lebanon, Armenia, Syria, Israel,
Vietnam, and Indonesia). Student mobility is realized in the form of educational mobility; however, there
is also an opportunity for teacher and staff mobility.

•
CEEPUS:
CEEPUS is a university exchange program involving 16 countries in Central Europe. The University is
currently a member of 5 networks. Of these, PPCU is the leading coordinator of one network focusing
on Romance Philology and one on History. Our networking relations extend to such prestigious
institutions as the Charles University in Prague, the Babes-Bolyai University of Cluj-Napoca, the
University of Graz, and the University of Ljubljana. A major advantage of the scholarship is that it
supports short-term research-oriented mobility of just 1-2 months in addition to semester-long courses.
About 25 of our University students travel each year to our partners.
• Stipendium Hungaricum
Students applying for the Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship can be granted acceptance to bachelor,
master, and doctoral courses or training providing preparation or sub-specialization before or after the
bachelor or master course, as well as to studies providing preparation for higher education in Hungarian
for which the Institute submitted a successful tender for accepting Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship
students.
• Makovecz scholarship
The Makovecz Student Scholarship Program offers full time bachelor, master, and PhD students courses
lasting full semesters and (depending on funding) study trips to the full-time courses of Hungarian and
other higher education institutions in the Carpathian Basin.

Library services

Pázmány Péter Catholic University (PPCU) does not have a central library. The University's book
inventory is made up of the separate libraries of the individual Faculties. However, the standardized
HUNTÉKA integrated library system used by the University features a high processing rate and allows
for proper orientation and search options in the entirety of PPCU's processed book inventory,
regardless of where it is stored within the University. The separate book collections of the various
Faculties boast noteworthy sub-collections that are regarded as unique at the regional and national
level or, in some cases, even globally. PPCU has a conscious and systematic approach to the
development of its library inventory that serves both high-quality education and exceptional research
activities.
Inter-library cooperation
Based on interinstitutional agreements, PPCU students are given the opportunity to utilize the services
of the Eötvös Loránd University's (ELTE) University and Sapientia Libraries with the same conditions as
ELTE students in the 2019/2020 academic year.

Library of the Faculty of Theology
General description
The library is the most significant specialized theological library in Hungary: it is a true basis for
scientific research in the field of theology. Our goal is to continuously develop our catalogue and
services in order to proactively meet future demand and be at the disposal of our readers.

History
In 1635, Péter Pázmány founded a university in Nagyszombat (Trnava), and the origins of our library
and archives reach back to 1638. In 1777 and 1784, the university was moved to Buda and then Pest,
respectively. The period between 1906 and 1913 saw the foundation of the seminary (department)
libraries. The year 1950 brought about a crucial change in the history of the University of Budapest.
The Faculty of Theology was separated. The specialized theology library (catalogue dating from the
years 1638-1950) was transferred to the ELTE Library, while the archives remained with the Faculty.
The Faculty of Theology became independent under the name of the Central Roman Catholic Academy
of Theology. Its library was compiled from the specialized collections of the department-based
libraries, donations, and estates. Pázmány Péter Catholic University was founded in 1992. The
foundation of the University also indicated the onset of the professional and targeted enlargement of
its library.

Detailed information
Books: 170,000 volumes
Journals and periodicals: 18,000 volumes (300 different, current titles)
Special collection: 15,000 volumes
Archive material: 45.50 linear meters of documents (since 1638)
What branches of science are covered in the publications?
We collect and make available the scientific-standard literature of specialized theological fields in all
languages, with the aspiration of gathering comprehensive collections as well as selections from the
literature of marginal fields.

The Library of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences
General information on the library
The library of the PPCU Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences is a public university library operated
by the Church with the purpose of supporting the research work performed at the Faculty and
providing a background of high quality scientific literature. In addition to traditional collections, it also
provides access to a number of subscription-based electronic scientific content providers and plays
other roles in supporting research. In accordance with the Faculty's majors, the scope of the collection
extends to the humanities and social sciences.
The majority of the library material can be queried with the use of the online catalogue. Current
information on library use and borrowing is available on the website. The traditional collection
contains about 300,000 volumes. The most important current publications are received in printed or
electronic format. There is a considerable pool of subscribed domestic and international online
databases, which provide access to thousands of journals and other source materials via the University
Internet network as well as with remote access.
Our librarians are happy to cooperate with students and teachers, and aim to provide personalized
assistance to both readers visiting the library and to remote users. In addition to on-site collections,
they provide information on the domestic and international library system, help in finding the
appropriate specialized literature, and offer good advice on how to use search engines and databases.
Library locations and collections
The central library is housed in the Bibliotheca building of the Piliscsaba campus, which contains the
largest collection. A specialized teaching library in Esztergom helps the education provided by the
Vitéz János Teacher Training Center. Offsite collections are located in Budapest, in the Sophianum
Institute at Mikszáth Kalman tér.

�PPCU Educational. Information 2019/2020 - Gsnürai

The main fields of specialization:
Bibliotheca (Piliscsaba): philosophy, theology, classical philology, history, archaeology, art history,
literature in Hungarian and foreign languages, linguistics (mostly English, German, French, Italian,
Spanish, Slavistics, Hebrew), sociology, communication, pedagogy, collection of old books.

Sophianum (Budapest): international studies, poiitology, sinoiogy (Chinese collection), Eastern
languages and cultures, Armenian linguistics, sociology, psychology, and archaeology. The offsite
libraries are located at the premises of the institutions and departments.
lohanneum (Esztergom): primary school and preschool pedagogy, history of education. As a longoperating university library, it also has a valuable pool of retrospective materials.

Databases
The library catalogue is freely accessible on the Internet. There is also a small electronic library
containing compulsory literature. Downloading is only possible from the Faculty's Internet network.
Numerous foreign and domestic paid databases are also available, allowing searches to be conducted
in millions of journal articles and thousands of specialized books, manuals, and dictionaries. The
searches are available even from mobile devices, any point in the institutional network, and via remote
login.
Domestic databases include, among others: the journals, books, and dictionaries of Akadémiai Kiadó,
Arcanum Digitheca, the National Audiovisual Archive of Hungary, L'Harmattan and Osiris e-books.
The more important foreign databases: Academic Search Complete (EBSCO), Cambridge University
Press Journals, de Gruyter Journals, JSTOR, Literature Resource Centre (Gale), the Oxford University
Press's databases (periodicals and music database, Oxford Online Handbooks), Project Muse, Springer­
Nature, Taylor &amp; Francis Online, Philosopher's Index, Medline Complete, PsycArticles, Web of Science.
The current complete list of databases, including brief information and access information, is
available at: https://ppke.hu/en/research/databases

With the help of libraries, the scientific publication activities of the Faculty's teachers are recorded in
the bibliographic and scientific telemetry system of the Database of Hungarian Scholarly Works
(MTMT). The database also records the accessibility of entire documents: if these works are freely
accessible (freely available for downloading), the articles, book excerpts, and even entire books can be
viewed at the given links. The primary objective of MTMT is to provide a true picture of Hungarian
scientific results by keeping a record of scientific works in various compilations.

Library use and hours
The library locations at the various campuses operate under different conditions, so the rules are
different for each. All PPCU students, teachers, and researchers can be full members of the library.
Registered third-party visitors can only use the basic services (and are not authorized to borrow).
The transfer of books and copies of articles from other libraries may be requested, primarily by the
Faculty's teachers, researchers, and students involved in scientific activities (students writing their
theses, dissertations, OTDK [National Conference for Student Researchers] papers). Students require
the approval of their supervisors for the transfer of library items from domestic libraries. For foreign
borrowing, confirmation of the availability of the necessary funds is also required.
Requests for borrowing and other library services can be submitted via email as well. Specialized
librarians work at the Piliscsaba Campus and in Esztergom. Questions requiring specialized library
personnel should be directed to these staff. Registered readers can activate their personal profiles via
the online catalogue interface by following the instructions published on the website. Thereafter,
readers can manage renewals and reservations independently on the online interface.
The MTMT system contains the data of PhD dissertations written at the Faculty, while the complete
texts can be accessed from the repository. The theses defended at the Faculty by the end of 2017 are

22

�PPCU ECUCAÏ=ONAL ?N?ÜRMÁT!OÍ&gt;i 2019/2020 - GCÍ4SRAL
available for reading from the library storage room at the location where they are kept; theses

archive.
The library website also contains the detailed library rules, the opening hours of the various locations,
the contact details of the reference desk librarians, the list of the currently subscribed databases, and
other current information.

Leisure time activities, self-organizing groups
Animator Community
President: Gyula Grizner
Vice President: Daniella Bartucz
The Animator Community was established in 2008 with the aim of helping freshmen fit into the
university environment. They organize many events, primarily for freshmen, which help integrate the
study groups and the class. In addition to taking part in social life, they also help in issues concerning
studies, even giving freshmen a chance to consult with them regarding specific, subject-related
questions.
The Freshman Days are organized at the end of August, where freshmen first meet each other and the
university community. This is a fun, five-day team-building competition in Budapest, including going to
the beach, sightseeing, and an enrollment day.
Responsible: Nóra Pallér

By the Freshmen's Weekend held in October, the study groups have already become familiar with each
other. The Weekend provides them with an opportunity to measure their resourcefulness at a location
in the countryside.
Responsible: Bence Kovács
Unlike other universities, the five-day Freshman Camp is organized at the end of the year so freshmen
can relax actively on the shore of Lake Velence after the exertions of exam time.
Responsible: Péter Laczó
At the beginning of the spring semester, University students may enroll for Animator Training, which
introduces them to the ground rules of our community and teaches the knowledge required for the
organization of community life through theoretical and practical tasks. The training consists of six full­
length evening occasions and one weekend.
Responsible: Márton Bese Naszlady
During the year, we also organize university events aimed at mobilizing all university students. A
sample of some of the colorful events: IrZen (A night of literature and music), Offline Day, Pázmány
Day Obstacle Race, Charity bake sale.
Responsible: Dorina Rozmonn

�Other self-organizing student groups
Choir
The Faculty choir was formed in 2005 in the joint organization of students and professor Dr. Ágnes
Bércesné Novak. Led by the professor, the choir has a wide repertoire ranging from ecclesiastical m usic
through gospel songs and pieces from modern soundtracks. The choir regularly takes part in
graduation and end-term ceremonies. Twice a year, it also performs at various locations across the
country, meeting great success wherever it goes.

Bionic Club
The Bionic Club was founded by students as part of the curriculum, with the support of Dr. Miklos
Gyöngy. It was organized on a biweekly basis. The Club aimed to share employment opportunities with
students, both in the research and the industrial sector, to provide aid in important decisions
concerning their future, and to provide them with a transparent map of relations. The occasions were
60-90 minutes long and had an informal tone, with each taking opportunities and useful information
related to different fields of interest into account. Moreover, the organizers always shared an account
of visits to companies at each Club event, providing a presentation of the company and the
opportunities it offered. Topics: Bionic interfaces and robotics; Image and signal processing;
Bioanalytics, microfluidics, bioinformatics; From idea to product: university, industry, start-up; Alumni
experiences
Film Club
Students also organized a Film Club, which meets every couple of weeks. They meet in one of the
large lecture halls in the evenings to watch old and contemporary films from a variety of genres and
discuss the message of the film at the end of the screening.

Sports
Every year in September, the "freshman ball opening dance" is announced to the future freshmen, in
which they may learn the steps of the Hungarian Palotás dance.
Folk dance: deals with teaching Hungarian dances and upholding traditions, with an emphasis on

Every year, the futsal team participates in the Budapest University Championships.
Water polo: Teams of 7 compete against each other in the pool. A good water polo player is as strong
as a hockey player, shoots and passes as precisely as a basketball or volleyball player, has endurance
as outstanding as that of a long-distance runner, and has a tactical sense as great as that of a chess
player.
The Pázmány Football League is organized by the Students' Union. There are several competing teams
at the University.
Seasonal periodic sports are also organized (ski camps, canoe trips).

XVII.1.

FIRE AND OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION

Act XXXI of 1996 on Fire Safety and Decree 54/2014 (XII.5.) of the Minister of Internal Affairs requires
students to be taught and to learn the necessary fire safety information.
In line with this obligation, we request that you read this information carefully and adhere to and
enforce its contents.
Please certify acknowledgement of the contents of this information by signing the attached statement.
The fire safety regulations, available in the University's offices, contain more detailed rules on fire

safety.
Fire safety requirements:
a) All students are required to ensure that the contents of the fire safety rules and regulations are
followed.
b) If students notice any violation of fire safety rules, they are obligated to take steps to terminate
the violation and inform a teacher.
c) Students are obligated to study the fire safety training materials and learn and adhere to its
contents.
d) After finishing any fire hazard activities, students are required to ensure that no fire hazards
remain.
e j Students are obligated to check the condition of the equipment and tools they use from the aspect
of fire safety and shall report any errors or damages.
f)
Students shall actively participate in the annual fire drill.
g) In case of fire, students shall proceed in line with the "Fire Emergency Plan." The escape routes
are marked along hallways and corridors.
h) The above plans also contain the locations of fire extinguishers and the shut-off valves for public
utilities.
i)
Smoking at the University is permitted only at the designated locations outside the buildings.
j)
Signs indicate the locations of smoking areas outside the buildings.
k) In case of a fire within the building, immediately start extinguishing the fire to prevent it from
spreading. Notify the security service immediately of the fire.
I)
The methods for raising the fire alarm:
loudly shouting "FIRE" to call the attention of nearby persons to the fire. The shouting has to be
loud and should catch people's attention without causing panic,
with the use of the manual fire alarms installed in the building and marked with pictograms
m) If the fire results in any personal injury or any conditions give rise to the suspicion of a crime, the
security service must first be notified. At the same time, notify the ambulance at 104 and the
police at 107 or 112.
The fire brigade's call numbers are 105 and 112.
n) The report of fire shall include the following:
the exact location and address of the fire,
what is on fire and what is in danger,
whether any lives are at risk,
•
the name of the person raising the alarm and the phone number from which the call is made.
o) Depending on the given circumstances, any University student may call the fire department
about the fire, but the security service should always be notified first.

38

�Use of fire extinguishing equipment:
Remove the extinguisher from the wall
Remove the pin or tab from the handle
■
Aim the hose at the flames
Keep a safe distance of 1.5-2 m from the fire and direct the extinguishing material at the
upper third of the flames

Use wall-mounted fire hydrants:
■
Open the hydrant cabinet, remove the nozzle, and open the valve
Grip the nozzle and use it to pull the hose towards the fire
Open the nozzle and direct the stream towards the fire
All students have to sign a statement held by their education administrators stating that they have
acknowledged their fire and occupational safety obligations.

�PPCU EOIICAT’QWL l'-K CRtUt ion 2019/2020-Général INWSMATIOM

Maintenance on fire extinguishers manufactured in line with the MSZ EN 3 and 1866standards has to
be performed annually. A self-adhesive sticker indicating the date of the last and of the next due
inspection on the extinguisher attests that it has been checked. If the sticker is missing, the
extinguisher cannot be considered operable. Extinguishers haveto be regularly checked by authorized
personnel. Only organizations registered by the Ministry of the Interior's National Directorate General
for Disaster Management are authorized to check and perform maintenance on extinguishers. The
year of manufacture and the date of the pressure test are stamped on the cylinder. Extinguishers are
generally used for 20 years.
Using powder extinguishers:

If possible, ask for help and call the fire department in case of fire. If the available powder extinguisher
is suitable only for slowing the spreading of the fire but does not extinguish it, leave the room and
inform the fire department. The arriving fire fighters will finish extinguishing the fire. Since the
remaining embers may rekindle even after the flames have been extinguished, always notify the fire
department (if they have not already been notified), who will ensure the fire is indeed out and that the
heat conductivity has not resulted in fires in other, hidden areas (e.g. dropped ceiling, attic, roof
structure, etc.).

The extinguisher label contains Hungarian instructions, including easy to understand pictograms.
(Figure 3)

Remove the safety pin, aim the hose towards the fire, and squeeze the handle to start extinguishing.
While extinguishing the fire, take care that the powder reaches the flames and not the surface of the
burning material, using a gentle sweeping motion from top to bottom and side to side to cover the
entire fire (Figure 4).

Aiming the powder at the burning material may cause it to scatter and create new fires, which greatly
reduces extinguishing efficiency. (Figure 5)

Extinguishers unsuited for use and used extinguishers have to be replaced promptly.

Part II
The training system and the rules of education

Training system
Section 12 (I)7 The University shall provide education at the Bachelor and Masters levels, as well as
single-cycle long programs and postgraduate specialist training, for full-time, correspondence, and
evening students. A major is the educational program that covers the uniform system of the
educational contents (knowledge, abilities, skills) necessary for the attainment of a professional
qualification.
(2) University students shall pursue studies based on the educational and output requirements of the
given major and the curricula elaborated with respect to such requirements.
The curriculum determines the subjects that are required, elective, and offered as optional for the
given major, the credit values assigned to the individual subjects, as well as the substantive
requirements and conditions for the issuance of the final certificate, the granting of the permission to
take the final examination, and the issuance of the degree. The curriculum shall further determine
what subjects need to be completed as a condition of admission to certain other subjects (rules on
prerequisite studies), as well as the types of the requirements belonging to specific subjects, the
number of the associated classes, and the subject codes. The prerequisites for any specific subject may
include up to three other subjects or a group of subjects of no more than fifteen credits. Registering
for certain subjects may require students to register for other subjects at the same time (parallel
registration).
(3) The successful completion of the student's studies is assisted by the model curriculum, which covers
the subjects to be completed and the recommended scheduling of their completion. The model
curriculum may also be defined as parts of the curricula of the individual majors. When planning their
7 Amended by Decision 40of July 20, 2018 of the University Council. Effective as of August 15, 2018.

46

�studies, students may deviate from the model curriculum at their own risk. Students may also obtain
the credits required for the degree over a longer or shorter period of time. When compiling the model
curriculum, it is recommended for students to take thirty credits each semester, including optional
subjects.
(4) The various curricula may set out special rules for the given Faculty as compared to this Policy and
the complementary provisions of the Faculty. The Faculty's complementary provisions to this Policy
shall define the mandatory contents of the curricula, the rules for amending those - with special
respect to their introduction in a phasing-in system - and the academic issues relating to specific majors
that have to be regulated in the curricula.
(5) In the case of certain majors, students are entitled to complete minor programs or specializations
within the framework of the given curriculum.
(6) 8 Specializations are forms of training that provide an independent professional qualification as part
of the given major, giving specialized knowledge.
(7) Minor programs are packages of associated subjects compiled from the offering of any given major,
adding up to 50 credits. The completion of a minor program does not provide any specific professional
qualification. Minor programs are not mandatory. The Faculty's complementary provisions to this
Policy define special rules for the minor programs.
(8) 9 A sub-specialization shall be a form of training that provides specialized knowledge but does not
result in any independent professional qualification as part of the given major. Successfully completed
sub-specializations are indicated in the clause to the degree. The individual Faculties may define
additional rules pertaining to sub-specializations in their complementary provisions to this Policy.

Section 13 (1) The educational program shall be organized into semesters, with an academic year
consisting of two semesters. Semesters (educational periods) consist of term times and exam periods.
Term times are fifteen weeks long and the subsequent exam times are no more than six weeks long.
Classes are generally not held in the first week of term time.
(2) 10 The schedule of any semester shall be determined by the Educational Directorate in agreement
with the Faculties, and approved by the University Council. The approved schedule shall be published
on the University website no later than the last day of the term time of the previous semester. The
schedule shall provide for the following in particular:
a) the date of enrollment,
b) the first and last day of term time,
c) the deadlines for paying tuition,
d) the first and last day of the registration period,
e) the first and last day of the subject registration period,
f) the first day of the exam registration period,
g) the first and last day of exam time,
h) breaks.
( 3) The Dean of the Faculty shall pass decisions on any deadline not included in the schedule for the
semester - with the prior approval of the Educational Directorate. The Dean shall then inform the
Rector’s Office in writing of such decisions.
Section 14 (1) Subjects for any given semester shall be announced by making the available courses
public.
( 2)11 Subjects shall be completed by completing the associated courses. A course is the educational
pursuit in which a student meets the specific academic requirements. A subject maybe associated with
one or more courses. Courses may be

without delay. Students shall be liable for any damages incurred in relation to provide such notification
or providing false information.
(4)14The University shall notify admitted students of admission and of the time and rules of enrollment
via email. The competent Dean shall ensure that students commencing their studies receive the
appropriate information in relation to the accessibility of the educational information.
(5) Admitted applicants who are unable to participate in enrollment for a fault other than their own

contract with each of the admitted applicants entitled to enroll and initiating enrollment for self­
funding education. As part of the enrollment procedure, applicants admitted to education with state
scholarships shall declare - in line with the rules defined in the relevant legal regulations - on accepting
the conditions of the educational program.
(8) Any applicants who receive a state scholarship but refuse to make the declaration may register for
the same educational program in self-funding form.
(9) If an applicant admitted to a self-funding educational program fails to validly conclude the student

employment contract for any reason, the enrollment shall be invalid and no student legal status shall
be established.
(ID) The declaration on the acceptance of the conditions of the educational program and the student
employment contract shall be signed by the admitted applicant or by his/her representative.

of the total amounts of tuition fees, unless he has been granted a payment extension.
(12) In the first semester after enrollment, the student is obligated to register for an active semester
in the Neptun system. Failing to do so invalidates the enrollment and does not result in a student
status.
(13) After the last day of the registration period, the Registrar’s Office checks whether all the conditions
for enrollment have been met and, if yes, validates the enrollment form. The enrollment process is
concluded with the validation of the enrollment form.

register for at least one major. The student status of students who fail to register for any of the majors
until the respective deadline shall be suspended for the given semester. Students who study more than
one major and, though not suspending their student legal status, fail to register tor any of these majors
may not study any major in the given semester.
(2)1S The student legal status may only be suspended before the completion of the first semester in
particularly justified cases, with the Dean's special permission. The associated request shall be
submitted by the student via the Neptun system until the last day of the registration period at the

Testing knowledge
The general rules of testing knowledge
Section 33 (1) The curriculum defines the method used for testing in each subject.
(2)54 The student's performance may be evaluated:
- in a five-grade system with the following grades: excellent (5), good (4), satisfactory (3), pass (2), and

fail (1), or
- in a three-grade system with the following grades: excellent (5), satisfactory (3), and fail (1).
(3) Any subject completed with a grade that is better than failing or is qualified as passing shall result
in the associated credit points.
(4) The grade or qualification given to any specific subject may consist of several partial qualifications,
while eligibility to take an exam may require the preliminary fulfilment of study-related obligations.
(5)55 The available grading methods:
- mid-term testing during the semester: for a signature (signed if passed or denied signature if failed),
practice grade (using the three or five level grading system), written assignment (with a three-level
grade), or a term paper (with five-level grade),
- exam-type testing: mid-term exam (with five-level grades), preliminary exam (with five-level grades),
comprehensive exam (with five-level grades), exam (with three or five-level grades), final examination
(with five-level grades).
(6) Exam-type testing may be organized particularly in the form of:
- oral exams,
- written exams,
- combined exams.
(7) Combined exams shall be organized in a form where students are tested both in writing and orally,
and the qualifications of these two shall result in the ultimate grade of the exam.
(8) 56 Oral exams may also be organized so that on the same exam occasion the student shall take the
exam both in writing and orally, and both parts of the exam shall be considered as the prerequisite of
the other. In especially justified cases, written exams may also be held as electronic exams, pursuant
to the provisions of this Policy.
(9) Attendance at lectures - unless provided otherwise in the complementary provisions to this Policy
defined by the Faculty in charge of the major-is mandatory. The attendance of seminars and practical
courses, as well as the fulfilment of mid-semester study-related requirements, is mandatory.
(10) The competent teacher shall have the right to determine the mid-semester study-related
requirements stipulated for admission to the exam or resulting in determining the practice grade, as
well as the extent of absences still allowed for admission to the exam - unless otherwise required in
the complementary provisions to this Policy defined by the Faculty in charge of the major - with the
additional condition that they shall be announced and communicated to the students on the first study
occasion at the latest. In connection with courses not resulting in independent qualification, the mid­
semester study-related requirements shall not be considered testing, because they do not evaluate
the performance of the student but only check active participation in the course.
(11)57 Unless otherwise required by the Faculty's complementary provisions to this Policy, the teacher
shall inform the student in question about the evaluation of the fulfilment of mid-semester studyrelated requirements until the last day of the term time. The practice grade and the signature
confirming the fulfilment of the mid-semester study-related requirements for admission to the exam

the last day of the exam time. Students who consider their exam time to be finished may request the
competent Registrar's Office in writing to close the semester earlier - but shall acknowledge that such
closing cannot be withdrawn, meaning that no further exams may be taken within the given exam time
and no exams can be registered, and any existing registrations for exams shall be cancelled.

Preparations for exams
Section 34 (1) The times and dates of exams, the starting time of registration for the exam, as well as
the persons participating in testing shall be announced at least three weeks before the end of the term
time. The number of the optional exam places announced for the exams shall be 10% more than the

DOCTORAL PROGRAM AND DEGREE REGULATIONS

In line with the University Statutes, the Doctoral and Habilitation Council of the Pázmány Péter Catholic
University hereby enacts the following regulations in the interest of effectively ensuring a high
standard of higher education.

CHAPTER I
General Provisions
General Information on the Doctoral (Ph.D.) Degree
Section 1 {1) At the Pázmány Péter Catholic University (PPCU) Doctoral School of Sacred Theology, the
doctoral program is provided in accordance with the applicable rules of the Catholic Church, the
regulations of the Faculty of Theology and the Postgraduate Institute of Canon Law (recognized by the
Church as a faculty) (hereinafter: Institute of Canon Law) as approved by the Holy See, and the
University's internal regulations as approved by the Grand Chancellor. As regards doctoral programs
in sacred theology and the obtaining of degrees, the provisions of the present Regulations may not
contradict the above rules in any way. Since the University's various supplementary regulations do not
apply to either the Faculty of Theology or the Institute of Canon Law, any references to the Doctoral
Council of Theology or the Doctoral School of Sacred Theology (and its programs) are considered to be
references to the internal rules and regulations of the Faculty of Theology and the Institute of Canon
Law. If these do not contain any provisions regarding any issues included herein, the University's
general regulations shall apply to such legal loopholes.
(2) The University provides doctoral programs in the doctoral schools outlined in Annex 2 to these
Regulations and confers doctoral degrees in the disciplines listed in Annex 1. The Doctoral Program in
Theology and Canon Law and the conferment of ecclesiastical degrees shall always take place in
accordance with the relevant provisions of the Catholic Church. For the recognition of an ecclesiastical
doctoral degree obtained in the latter fields as a PhD, the doctoral school must also be licensed by the
Educational Authority. However, a PhD may not be obtained in these disciplines without the respective
ecclesiastical scientific degree being conferred upon the candidate.
(3) After receiving the consent of the Hungarian Accreditation Committee, the Educational Authority,
in line with the provisions of relevant Hungarian legislation, has licensed the operation of the doctoral
schools under the University's present Regulations. Therefore, the University may confer a PhD
(hereinafter: doctoral) degree as the highest level of university education upon the successful
completion of a doctoral program by a doctoral student.
(4) Doctoral programs shall involve study, research, and reporting activities performed in the
framework of preparing doctoral students, either individually or in groups, for obtaining a doctoral
degree, in a manner adapted to the specifics of the disciplines concerned and the individual needs of
the students, and shall comprise a study and research stage and a research and dissertation stage. The
minimum number of credits to be acquired for the completion of a doctoral program shall be two
hundred and forty, and the duration of the program shall be eight semesters. During the doctoral
program, at the end of the fourth semester, as a condition for closing the study and research stage and
commencing the research and dissertation stage, the candidate must pass a complex examination that
measures and evaluates academic and research advancement.

substantiated by the applicant's professional and scientific background, the applicant has shown
suitable scientific performance, and the applicant has met the admission requirements. In this case,
the student status is established upon successful performance of the complex examination.
(3) Doctoral students may pursue their studies based on the doctoral program curriculum. The
curriculum determines the subjects that are required, elective, and offered as optional for the
program, the credit values assigned to the individual subjects, and the substantive requirements and
conditions for the issuance of the final certificate. The curriculum shall further determine what subjects
need to be completed as a condition of admission to certain other subjects (rules on prerequisite
studies). The prerequisites for any specific subject may include up to three other subjects or a group
of subjects of no more than fifteen credits. Registering for certain subjects may require students to
register for other subjects at the same time (parallel registration).
(4) The successful completion of the doctoral student's studies is assisted by the model curriculum,
which covers the subjects to be completed and the recommended scheduling of their completion. The
supervisor provides for the management and supervision of the doctoral student's academic and
research activities.
(5) Academic achievements and studies completed elsewhere by the doctoral student prior to the
commencement of his/her studies or simultaneously to those may be recognized (in accordance with
the general rules on credit transfers); they may also be used to allow the doctoral student an individual
schedule (individual program).
(6) During the term of the doctoral program, the doctoral student is obligated to continuously work on
the selected research topic in the manner agreed on with the supervisor and to report on results.
(7) The doctoral program shall take place in Hungarian; however, foreign language programs can be
provided in justified cases. Programs offered in a foreign language must be registered by the
Educational Authority in accordance with the procedure required by relevant state legislation.
(8) The program shall be organized into semesters, with an academic year consisting of two semesters.
Semesters (educational periods) consist of term times and exam periods. Term times are fifteen weeks
long and the subsequent exam times are no more than six weeks long. Classes are generally not held
in the first week of term time. The Rector shall define the schedule of the semester in line with the
provisions of the Education and Exam Policy.
(9) Subjects for any given semester shall be announced by makingthe available courses public. Subjects
shall be fulfilled by the completion of the associated courses. A course is the educational pursuit in
which a student meets the specific academic requirements. A subject may be associated with one or
more courses. Courses may be
lectures,

inventory items, insofar as such damages exceed that expected as a result of normal use.
(4) The values of the items taken over as per the inventory shall be defined beforehand and disclosed
to students in an appropriate manner. The values of such items can be updated once per academic
year. When moving out (or when reporting the loss of or damages to items taken over as per the
inventory, or when official notice is taken of such), students shall be obligated to settle the damages
caused by paying the listed amount.
(5) Any items left in the dormitory after the termination of dormitory membership can be taken over
within 30 days in return for a late fee. After the above deadline has passed, the dormitory shall be
authorized to dispose of such of the student's items.
Part IV
.
Dormitory fee
Section 9 (1) Students shall be obligated to pay a dormitory fee for the dormitory services.
(2) The dormitory fee shall be set in advance for each academic year by May 30 of each year, by the
Dean of the faculty providing the dormitory services, in agreement with the University Student's Union.
(3) Within the framework laid down by law, the amount of the dormitory fee shall be set accordingto
the various available comfort levels, separately for students with state scholarships, state-funded
students, self-funding students, and students in fee-paying training. For the purposes of the dormitory
fee, persons without student status at the University shall be classified as self-funding students.
(4) The dormitory fee shall be made public when the admission procedure is announced.
(5) The dormitory fee shall include the provision of the basic services required by law. No other fee or
reimbursement besides the dormitory fee may be charged for the use of the basic dormitory services
required by law. Students may be charged for any services additional to the basic services, which may
be used voluntarily.
(6) The amount of the dormitory fee cannot be unilaterally amended duringthe academic year. Cases
in which the student's legal status as a student is terminated or the student's financing form changes,
automatically amending the dormitory fee starting from the date of such change, shall not qualify as
an amendment of the dormitory fee.
Section 10 (1) The dormitory fee shall be paid in monthly installments, by the tenth day of each month.
If requested by the student, the fee can also be paid in advance in one lump sum.
(2) Students shall pay the dormitory fee electronically by bank card via the Neptun system, by the
respective deadline. Persons with student legal status shall be obligated to pay the fee by bank transfer
to the provided bank account. An invoice shall be provided for the paid fee.

(3) The payment obligation shall remain valid even if the student does not make use of the dormitory
services or the student has been obligated to move out of the dormitory due to a school break, as
outlined in these Rules. Students shall not be obligated to pay the dormitory fee for periods in which
the dormitory does not provide the service, in violation of the provisions of these Rules.
(4) If the student defaults on paying the dormitory fee and the default does not exceed two months,
the payment obligation can be fulfilled with the payment of the generally applicable late fee. If the
default is at least two months, the competent Dean shall be authorized to terminate the dormitory
contract with immediate effect and to claim late interest for the unpaid payments, which interest shall
equal the central bank base rate for the full time of the default.

A Tízparancsolat az imakönyvekben
A Kivonulás könyve 20. fejezete tartalmazza a „tíz” parancsolatot, amelynek mondataival a 16–17.
századi imakönyveinkben is találkozunk. De nem csak imakönyvben fordulnak elő, és számtalan
alkalommal nem úgy, ahogyan az ószövetségi könyvben olvashatók. Előadásomban a Tízparancsolat
előfordulásait vizsgálom, s bemutatom milyen műfajú kiadványokban, valamint hányféle variáns és
különböző funkció jellemzi ezeket a szövegeket.

Erkölcsi tanítás a gyermekeknek szánt imakönyvekben és imádságokban
Bár előadásom címe talán többet sejtet, valójában csak 17–18. századi, magyar nyelvű, katolikus
imakönyvekről és imádságokról lesz szó. A vizsgált korszakban nem találkozunk ugyan a mai
értelemben vett gyermekimakönyvekkel, de több kiadvány is megjelent nemesi családok gyermekeinek, fiataljainak ajánlva vagy iskolások használatára, és az általános imakönyvekben is felbukkannak
gyermekeknek szóló imák. Előadásomban ezekben a kiadványokban és szövegekben vizsgálom az
erkölcsi tanítás megjelenését, mibenlétét, jellegzetességeit, „gyermeki” vonásait.

Két magyar vonatkozású királytükör erénykatalógusa a 14. és a 15. századból
Előadásomban egyrészt egy hazánkban talán kevésbé vizsgált műre, a prágai domonkos Henricus
de Bitterfeld 1390-es években írt De contemplatione et vita activa című értekezésére koncentrálok,
amelyet Lengyelország királynőjének, Anjou Hedvignek, Nagy Lajos királyunk lányának ajánlott,
másrészt pedig a karthauzi Andreas Pannonius 1467-ben Mátyás királyhoz írt királytükrére, a
Libellus de virtutibus Matthiae Corvino dedicatusra. Mindkét királytükör jellegzetessége, hogy szerzetes
írta egy-egy uralkodónak, továbbá mindkettőnek meghatározó része a teológiai és a kardinális
erényekre épülő erénykatalógus. A két mű ezen részei összehasonlító vizsgálatának eredményeit
szeretném bemutatni az előadásomban.

„A Bortúl meg győzettetvén káromkodott” – Vétkek és penitenciatartás a Nagykunsági
Református Egyházmegyében 1740–1821
A vétkek és az azokat követő penitenciatartás fontos szerepet töltöttek be a református
egyházközségekben. A penitencia betart(at)ása alapvetően határozta meg a lelkész és a közösség
viszonyát, mivel az erre vonatkozó szokások eklézsiánként eltértek. A Nagykunsági Egyházmegye
huszonhat egyházközségéből tizenötben (Abád, Derzs, Füzesgyarmat, Inoka, Karcag, Kenderes,
Körösladány, Kunhegyes, Mezőtúr, Nagyrév, Sas, Szentimre, Szőllős, Törökszentmiklós, Ványa) maradt fenn forrás penitenciatartásról a korszakban. E jegyzékeket a lelkészek jellemzően az 1760-as
évektől kezdték el vezetni az egyházközség anyakönyvébe. A legkorábbi ilyen forrásunk 1740-es, a
nagyobb felháborodást okozó ügyekről részleteiben is olvashatunk az egyházmegyei jegyzőkönyvben.
Előadásunk célja megvizsgálni a lelkészek és a közösség viszonyát, illetve a penitenciatartás mértékét
1740 és 1821 között az egyházmegye kebelében. Az előadás a Kulturális és Innovációs Minisztérium
ÚNKP-23-2 kódszámú Új Nemzeti Kiválósági Programjának Nemzeti Kutatási, Fejlesztési és
Innovációs Alapból finanszírozott szakmai támogatásával készült.

Etikai és lelkiségi normaközvetítés Vásárhelyi Gergely elmélkedőkönyvében
Vásárhelyi Gergely egyik könyve, az Esztendő által az az anyaszentegyháztól rendeltetett vasárnapokra és
innepekre rendeltetett evangéliomok és episztolák…, a szerzői szándék szerint az egyházi év evangéliumi
perikópáinak mentén a Krisztus-követés kézikönyve: nem csupán erkölcsi előírásokat tartalmaz,
hanem azok interiorizálásának eszköztárát is. Előadásomban emez interiorizációs eszközrendszer
szöveges eljárásait veszem górcső alá, többek között a figyelmes, elmélyült és személyre szabott
olvasásra vonatkozó intelmet, a bibliai jelenetek alkalmazását az elmélkedő élethelyzetére vagy a
bűn illetőleg a valódi (mert szeretetből, s nem félelemből fakadó) bűnbánat „természetrajzának”
felvázolását. Arra is figyelek, milyen (szöveg)használati utasításokat ad a szerző az elmélyülni kívánó
olvasónak.

Puritán erkölcs vagy harcos polémia: Matkó István Kegyes cselekedetek rövid ösvénykéje
című erkölcsi oktató munkája és a szerző polemikus munkásságának kérdései az 1660-as
években
Kézdi Vásárhelyi Matkó István (1625–1693) írói, prédikátori alakja elsősorban hitvitázó
tevékenységéről lehet ismert a magyar régiség kutatói számára. A felső-magyarországi hitvitában is
jeleskedő református prédikátor azonban nemcsak polemikus munkákat jelentetett meg, hanem
abban az időben adta ki az angol nyelvről magyarra fordított Kegyes cselekedetek rövid ösvénykéje (1666,
Szeben, RMNY 3324) című erkölcsi oktató művét is. Az elsősorban a hívek egyéni kegyességi

�gyakorlatát szorgalmazó könyvecske (Berg Pál megállapítása) csak az utóbbi időben került ismét a
kutatás látóterébe, hiszen Matkó munkássága az erdélyi ortodox románság körében is nyomot
hagyhatott, fordítójának, Ioan Zobának köszönhetően (ezt Nagy Levente tárta föl számunkra).
Előadásom Matkó István kegyességi művének és a korszakban megjelent polemikus munkáinak
(Fövenyen épített ház romlása, 1666 Szeben, RMNY 3323; Bányász csákány, 1668 Patak, RMNY 3481)
tükrében vizsgálja Matkó írói munkásságát. Vajon a protestáns erkölcs, a puritán kegyesség elvei
tetten érhetők-e a polemikus munkák szövegvilágában? Egyáltalán megjelenik-e a korszak hitvitáiban a vitázás mikéntjére (erkölcsére, etikájára) vonatkozó, akár felekezeti különbségeket is
tükröző olvasói, vagy szerzői elvárás, igény? Illetve megjelennek-e a puritán kegyességnek az egyéni
vallásgyakorlatra írt tanácsai, erkölcsi elvárásai a felekezeti összecsapások argumentációjában, vitás
kérdéseiben? Az előadás e kérdések felvetésére és tárgyalására vállalkozik.

A katolikus egyház normaközvetítő szerepe és funkciója a 18. században és a 19. század
első felében
Az előadás a katolikus egyház normakommunikációs tevékenységében bekövetkezett módosulásokat, illetve azok okait vizsgálja. A 18. században és a 19. század első felében folyamatos változásokat tapasztalhatunk a normaközvetítés súlypontjában, funkciójában, tematikájában, melyekre
hatással volt az egyház cselekvési környezete. A funkcionális elvárások és a közvetítendő értékek
területén bekövetkezett transzformációk mentén változott a papság kompetenciaszintje. Az erkölcsi, morális tartalmak, mellett már olyan értékeket kellett közvetíteniük, mint a fejlődés, a fejlesztés,
valamint a megfelelő, tudatos életvitel. Ennek propagálása a klérus feladata volt. Az erre való
felkészítés beépült a papképzésbe, majd a papi tevékenységbe, kommunikációba. A megfelelő
plébánosi működés egyik alappillérét jelentette, hogy elméleti és gyakorlati szempontból is magas
színvonalat vártak el a lelkipásztortól, ami hivatásuk professzionalizálódását hozta magával. A
papság készségeinek, feladatainak mennyiségi és minőségi bővülése azt eredményezte, hogy a 19.
század elejére a plébánosok egyfajta hivatásrendi identitással bírtak, amelynek megfogalmazása a
mindennapi kihívások, illetve visszajelzések, interakciók során formálódott. Felkészültségük és
kompetenciáik tudatában kínáltak megoldási javaslatokat az 1822-es nemzeti zsinaton a társadalom
erkölcsi javításához, az ifjúság megfelelő szellemiségű neveléséhez.

A vitézi ethosz megjelenési formái és szövegszervező ereje
Listius László Magyar Mársában
Listius László (1628–1662) Magyar Márs avagy Mohách mezején történt veszedelemnek emlékezete című, az
epikus jellegű, címadó költemény mellett rövidebb verses szövegeket is tartalmazó kötete 1653-ban
jelent meg Bécsben. A mohácsi vereséget középpontba állító epikus alkotás elsődleges forrása Brodarics István De conflictu Hungarorum cum Turcis ad Mohacz verissima historia című latin nyelvű történeti
írása volt, a kötet fő irodalmi mintájának pedig Zrínyi Miklós 1651-ben napvilágot látott Adriai

�tengernek Syrenaia tekinthető. Zrínyi Szigeti veszedelmével szemben azonban Listiusnál feltűnően nagy
teret nyernek a didaktikus kitérők, melyekben szerző a vitézi ethosz kérdéseit a magyarság történeti
múltját és aktuális helyzetét figyelembe véve fejtegeti. Mivel a cselekményszövés igen mereven
követi Brodarics narrációját, Listius művének érdekessége leginkább az általa szövegezett részek
eszmetörténeti vonatkozásaiban áll. Előadásomban a Magyar Márs központi szerepű etikai gondolati
keretének bemutatására teszek kísérletet.

Az első horvát bonton, avagy jezsuita nevelési, viselkedési regulák a 18. század közepéről
A kiváló horvát jezsuita misszionárius, Mulih György számos alkalommal járt népmissziós utakon
a 18. század közepéig Magyarországon is – különösen azokon a vidékeken, ahol horvátok is éltek.
Mulih elsősorban káj-horvát dialektusban írta azokat a könyveit, amelyeket elsősorban e missziók
alkalmával osztott szét a résztvevők között. Mind a missziókat, mind a kateketikai tevékenységet
általában a legfontosabb feladatának tartotta. Könyveiben ezért néhányszor visszatérő részt
alkottak a szülők, a hitoktatók és a gyerekek/hittant tanulók számára összeállított regulái. Az úri
asztali etikett szabályait is összefoglalta. Első alkalommal 1742-ben adta ki e regulákat a Duhovno
zercalo (’Lelki tükör’) című kiadványában. A nyugat-magyarországi horvátok számára 1747-ben
kiadott katekizmusba (Horvatszki katehkizmus) is beépítette – csá-dialaktusban – a kötet összeállítója,
aki vagy maga Mulih volt, vagy esetleg egy ezen a vidéken szolgáló ferences, talán Palkovits vagy
Bogovich.
A keresztény etikettet francia jezsuita elődjétől vette át: Léonard Périn könyvecskéje először 1617ben látott napvilágot Bienséance de la conversation entre les hommes címmel, majd több kiadást megért,
többek között latinul is megjelent. A Mulih által vázolt gyermeknevelés módszertana – regulája –
pedig egészen Rotterdami Erasmusig nyúlik vissza.
A horvát szövegekből – alapvetően az 1744-ben Zágrábban megjelent Skola Kristusseva szövege
alapján – tekintjük át azt, hogy a 18. századi közepén a horvátoknak milyen erkölcsi, nevelési és
viselkedési szabályok mentém javasolták az ideális vagy legalábbis követendő keresztény életvitelt
megvalósítani.

Jámbor élet – Morális antropológia prédikációs köntösben
Foktövi János 1614-es kéziratos prédikációkötete egyedülálló mű a régi magyar irodalomban. A
Keserű Bálint megbízásából mintegy negyven éve készült első átirat után a technika (online forma)
lehetővé teszi, hogy létrejöjjön a kritikai kiadás. A korábbi kutatást folytatva az antropológiai vázra
felfűzött morális – elméleti (teológiai) és gyakorlati – szabályrendszer bemutatása és elemzése
mellett a kötet műfajának pontosítását és az online kiadás elveit is érinti az előadás.

Kovács Ferenc kéziratos Campe-fordítása: egy gyermekeknek szóló erkölcs-könyvecske
Joachim Heinrich Campe 1777-ben adta ki a Sittenbüchlein für Kinder aus gesitteten Ständen című művét.
Ennek két magyar koraújkori fordításáról tudunk. Nyomtatásban viszont csak Földi Ferenc Erkölcskönyvecskéje jelent meg (1789-ben). Ugyanebben az időben készítette el Kovács Ferenc is a maga
fordítását: Az öreg Becshalmi a gyermekek között címmel. Utóbbit szinte egyáltalán nem említi a szakirodalom. Előadásomban röviden összevetem a két Campe-fordítást a német forrásszöveggel, majd
a Kovács-kéziratra fordítom a figyelmet. A konferencia témájához kapcsolódva pedig a vizsgált
műben az ifjúság számára ajánlott erkölcsi normák áttekintésére vállalkozom.

A tisztességes és boldog élet titka. A Cithara Sanctorum életvezetési témájú verseinek
változásai a 17–18. század folyamán
A Cithara Sanctorum kiadásait vizsgálva egyértelműen kimutatható a hagyományokhoz való hűség és
az állandó megújulás. Az első kiadásokban megtalálható énekek megmaradtak, de a gyűjtemény
folyamatosan újabbakkal egészült ki. Ezek egyre magasabb szintet képviselnek, látszik, hogy folyamatosan nő a közösség tagjainak teológiai tudása, általános műveltsége és lelki igénye a mélyebb,
misztikus imádságra. Előadásomban a keresztény emberhez illő életről elmélkedő énekeket fogom
bemutatni ebből a szempontból. Hogyan változtak az évek során? Mikor kerültek újabb ilyen
témájú énekek az énekeskönyvbe? Itt is jellemző-e a tanító verseknél megfigyelt fejlődés? Végül a
történelmi helyzet változása, a viharos 17. század után a 18. század békésebb időszaka befolyásoltae ezen énekszövegek formálódását?

Az erkölcsös élet megfogalmazásai a Kájoni Cantionale énekeiben
Kájoni János énekszöveg-gyűjteményében nincs kifejezetten az erkölcsös életre nevelő, azt szem
előtt tartó ének. Cantionale Catholicum c. énekeskönyvében ennek ellenére olvashatunk olyan
versszakokat, amelyek valamilyen módon mégis ezt a tematikát járják körül, belőlük egy-egy
mozzanatot kiragadva fogalmazzák meg az embernek a másik emberhez, vagy éppen Istenhez való
kapcsolatát, adnak (többnyire általános, nem konkrét) útmutatást arra vonatkozóan, hogy mit kellene tenni, hogy majdan a mennyországba jusson. Az Istenfélelem középpontba helyezése, a bűnöktől való szabadulás célkitűzése és a jóra való törekvés a legáltalánosabb gondolatok, amiket nem
csupán a halva fekvő ember élő társaihoz intézett intelmei (halottasok) között találunk, de szinte
bármilyen témájú vagy időszakra (pl. karácsony) való énekek között is. Az üdvösségre vezető
iránymutatások különböző megfogalmazásait igyekszünk felvázolni előadásunkban (akár csak egyegy versszak kiemelésével is, ha maga az ének másról szól), s ezeken keresztül bemutatni a 17.
század közepének vallásos és erkölcsnevelő gondolkodásmódját.

Az önzetlen szeretet problémája II. Rákóczi Ferenc Vallomásaiban
A II. Rákóczi Ferenc Vallomásaiból kibontakozó önértelmezés meghatározó eleme az az antropológiai
koncepció, amely az emberi cselekedeteket erkölcsi értelemben aszerint osztályozza, hogy azokat az
önszeretet vagy Isten szeretete motiválja. Az önszeretet, melyben a vallomástevő az Istentől eltávolító
erőt lát, s így minden bűn forrásának tekinti, a bűnvallás és az önértelmezés rendre visszatérő eleme. Az
önszeretet hangsúlyos tematizálásával Rákóczi a 17. századi filozófia központi kérdéséhez kapcsolódik.
Az utóbbi időben megélénkült Rákóczi-kutatásoknak köszönhetően sokkal árnyaltabban látjuk a
vallomások morális diskurzusainak összetettségét, s azt, milyen mintákra támaszkodhatott Rákóczi
Vallomásai megírásakor, illetve hogyan viszonyult lehetséges mintáihoz. Előadásom az újabb kutatások
eredményeit is figyelembe véve a tiszta szerelem (amour pur) fogalmát veszi szemügyre. A kutatás eddig
ugyanis nem szentelt figyelmet annak, hogy a Vallomások második könyvében Rákóczi – két francia
arisztokrata hölgyhöz való szerelmét elemezve – a tiszta, azaz az önszeretettől mentes szeretet vagy
szerelem lehetőségére is reflektál. A földi szerelem erkölcsi elítélése és a tiszta szerelem iránti igény
ellentéte, mely e reflexiókban megjelenik, elméleti szinten végül feloldatlannak bizonyul. E szerelmek
ábrázolásának elemzése, a narratíva összetettsége és a reflexiók olykor egymásnak is ellentmondó volta
mégis a Vallomások morálfilozófia diskurzusának egy fontos aspektusára hívja fel a figyelmet: Rákóczi
emlékiratában ugyan valóban meghatározó egy olyan tanító jellegű diskurzus, amelyben a szerelmek
története az evilági gyarlóságot, tévelygést képviseli, de ez a diskurzus olykor elbizonytalanodik és nem
válik kizárólagossá.

Erkölcsi prédikációk kompilációi a régi magyarországi halotti beszédekben
A régi magyarországi egyházi beszédek jellegzetes szövegalkotói eljárása a kompiláció – és ezek
révén a szó szerinti, jelöletlen szövegátvételek jelenléte. Nem jelentenek kivételt a halotti beszédek
sem – jó példa erre Kelemen Didák életműve. Előadásomban ezúttal néhány eddig kevéssé vizsgált
alkalmi beszédét vizsgálom, melyben a minorita hitszónok Pázmány Péter etikai tárgyú prédikációiból emelt át szövegrészeket. Eljárása nemcsak a szövegalkotás szempontjából érdekes: a forrásszövegek kiválasztása sajátságos szempontokat ad a halotti beszédek tartalmáról, erkölcsi felfogásáról
– és ez utóbbi retorikai szerepéről.

Házasság és jó erkölcs Wesselényi Kata Egy hittel egy reménnyel két egyező szívnek
Isten eleiben fel nyújtott áldozatja című imanaplójában
Hadadi Wesselényi Kata után hét nyomtatásra előkészített, letisztázott imádságos könyv,
úgynevezett imanapló maradt fenn. Előadásom központjában a legkorábbi szövegeket tartalmazó
Egy hittel egy reménnyel két egyező szívnek Isten eleiben fel nyújtott áldozatja című kötet áll, amely saját és
férje imáit, verseit is tartalmazza. Ezek nagyrészt rövid házas életük nehéz pillanataiban (koraszülött
gyermek, gyermekvárás, szülés, betegségek) készültek és egy utólagos szerkesztés alapján kerültek
egy kötetbe, azzal a céllal, hogy nyomtatásban is megjelenjenek. Előadásom arra keresi a választ,
hogy milyen a tiszta és erkölcsös házasság a 18. századi református nemesasszony (és férje)
szövegeiben, milyen bibliai, etikai normák alapján rajzolja fel Wesselényi Kata a jó és a rossz házasságot a kézirat paratextusaiban, illetve hogyan egészítik ki, illusztrálják ezeket saját és férje szövegei.
Ezenkívül Wesselényi Kata könyvjegyzéke alapján megpróbálom beazonosítani azokat a teológiai
munkákat, melyek a szövegeit befolyásolhatták, formálhatták.

Erkölcsi tanítóköltemények Szőnyi Benjámin kéziratban maradt neolatin
versgyűjteményében
Szőnyi Benjámin, református lelkipásztor, költő és író (1717–1794) latin nyelvű költészete kéziratos
formában maradt ránk, a 223 oldalnyi terjedelmű versgyűjteményét sohasem publikálta. A kéziratos
kötet első része erkölcsi tanítóköltemények gyűjteménye, a második rész jelentős hányadát pedig a
fiziko-teológiai versek teszik ki. Az első rész egy szerzői előszóval kezdődik, amelyben Szőnyi arról
ír, hogy a költészet eredendő funkciója az erkölcsi nevelés, a bűnök elleni fellépés, a jók erényesebb
életre való ösztönzése és a rosszak bűnöktől való elriasztása. Szőnyi három könyvre osztotta fel az
első egységben szereplő költeményeit. Az első könyvben található versekben mintegy bevezetésként a Magyar Királyságot mutatja be, a második könyv epigrammái a keresztény erényekről,
a harmadik könyv költeményei pedig az emberi bűnökről szólnak. Ezekhez még egy függelék is
kapcsolódik, amelynek témája a keresztény irányzatok egymás közötti békéje és egyetértése. A kötet
második fele bőséges fiziko-teológiai korpuszt tár az olvasó elé, amely több helyen bibliai-teológiai
értelmezését is tartalmazza a bemutatott természeti elemeknek, csodás jelenségeknek és élőlényeknek. Az előadásban a kötet átgondolt koncepcióval és felépítéssel rendelkező, vélhetően kiadásra
szánt első részét, az abban hangsúlyos erkölcsi tanítóköltészetet mutatom be részletekbe menően,
amellyel Szőnyi a hitvédelmet szolgálja, ugyanakkor ezzel összefüggésben itt-ott már fizikoteológiai utalásokat is belecsempész a versekbe.

A kora újkori magyar erkölcsfilozófiai gondolkodás tablója
Az előadás kísérletet tesz arra, hogy felvázolja a magyar erkölcsfilozófiai reflexiók történetét a korai
modernitásban, és eközben téziseket fogalmazzon meg e történet alapvető körvonalaira nézvést,
különös tekintettel a protestáns felekezetek különböző képviselőire. Az áttekintés kiindulópontját
Gyalui Torda Zsigmond Quaestio: An honesta sint natura: an vero opinione (Padua: Fabrianus 1549) című
műve képezi, míg végpontját Bethlen Miklós Önéletírásának Elöljáró beszédében (1708) jelöljük ki.
A bevallottan nagyívű – így egyes esetekben a részleteket szándékoltan homályban hagyó – történeti
áttekintés alapvetően azt az elméleti kérdést járja körül, hogy miként jut el a magyar eszmetörténet
az erkölcsi értékek természetes – azaz nem konszenzuális – voltáról alkotott nézettől (Gyalui
Torda) ugyanezen értékek objektivitásának tagadásáig, ahogy azt Bethlennél látjuk. Eközben az
előadás a következő kérdésekre keres válaszlehetőségeket: Milyen relativizáló tendenciák jelentkeznek a kora újkori magyar erkölcsfilozófiai gondolkodásban? Milyen koncepciók mentén fogalmazzák meg egyes szerzők az erkölcsi értékek természetes-objektív státuszának álláspontját? Hogyan
függ össze az emberi szabadság az értékek természetes-objektív státuszáról alkotott elképzelésekkel? Milyen konfesszionális keretekbe illeszkednek a fenti kérdésekre adott válaszok? Hogyan
viszonyulnak a magyar erkölcsfilozófiai tradíció különböző szerzői a természetjogi hagyomány
Grotius előtti, és Grotiusszal kezdődő szakaszához? Milyen elméleti filozófiai háttér előtt és milyen
teológiai előfeltételek mentén fejtik ki a gyakorlati filozófia területén vallott téziseiket a korszak
magyar gondolkodói? És végül: beszélhetünk-e egységes magyar erkölcsfilozófiai tradícióról a 16.
századi kései humanizmus és a 17. század végi modern természetjogi gondolkodás között, vagy
csupán egymástól elkülönült értelmiségiek szövegeit erőszakoljuk bele egy fragmentált történetbe?
Tárgyalt szerzők: Gyalui Torda Zsigmond (?–1569), Christian Francken (1549–1611?), Enyedi
György (1555–1597), Pataki István (1641–1693), Apáti Miklós (1662–1724), Bethlen Miklós (1642–
1716).

Egy bíboros erényei – Aragóniai János erkölcse az irodalmi és a történeti források
tükrében
Aragóniai János bíboros-legátus és esztergomi érsek személye (1456–1485) az irodalomtudományban Bonfini Symposion című művéből jól ismert mint az erkölcsi tisztaság kérlelhetetlen védelmezője. Személyének, tevékenységének vizsgálatára azonban a hazai tudományosságban néhány
próbálkozástól eltekintve (például Pajorin Klára vagy Farbaky Péter róla szóló tanulmányai) nem
jutott kellő figyelem.
Az előadás során Bonfini említett művéből kiindulva összegyűjtöm, milyen erkölcsi tulajdonságokat
emel ki róla az Ascoliból származó mester, majd azokat, más, Aragóniai Jánosról szóló elbeszélő
forrásokban olvasható jellemzésekkel vetem össze. Emellett megvizsgálom, mennyire lehet hiteles
a főpapról Bonfininél kialakuló kép. Az előadás során igyekszem kitérni a kor főpapok felé megfogalmazott erkölcsi elvárásaira és összevetni azokat Aragónia János tetteivel, és felvázolni a rá
jellemző erkölcsi magatartást. Végül arra is fény derülhet, volt-e a bíborosnak főpap-példaképe.

Farsangi énekek és az erkölcsök
Többen foglalkoztak már azzal, hogyan jelenik meg a farsang a 17–18. századi lelkiségi és világi
irodalomban, milyen prédikációk hangzottak el/jelentek meg, milyen kalendáriumi és dramatikus
énekeket olvashatunk ebben az időszakban. Jelen előadás ezen kutatásokhoz kíván kapcsolódni egy
új műfajt vonva be a vizsgálódásba: a népéneket. A 17–18. századi kéziratos és nyomtatott
énekeskönyveink nagy része az egyházi év időszakai szerinti felosztást követi, amelyek közt – noha
nem hivatalos időszak – a farsang is többször megjelenik. Milyen énekeket soroltak a farsangi
énekek közé? Mikor, milyen céllal hangozhattak el ezek? Milyen irodalmi eszközökkel kívántak
ezekben élni annak érdekében, hogy a testi-lelki kicsapongást fékezzék és ezzel párhuzamosan a
buzgó, bűnbánó lelket erősítsék? Az előadás ezekre a kérdésekre keresi a választ, miközben egyfajta
lajstromot is készít erényekről és bűnökről.

A boldog halál életalakító szerepe 18. századi kiadványainkban
Híveknek készült 18. században Magyarországon kinyomtatott, halállal foglalkozó verses és prózai
alkotásokat veszek szemügyre. Nem tárgyalom a halál okát, sem teológiáját. Az alábbi kérdésekre
keresem a választ: Hogyan jelennek meg a művekben a keresztény normák? Mennyi bennük az
elbeszélő rész? Az érzelmi ráhangolásban mekkora szerepe van a félelemkeltésnek és az örömre
irányultságnak? Különböznek-e a felekezeti megfogalmazások? Mennyire fonódik egybe a jó
életnek és a boldog halálnak a tárgyalása és milyen ezeknek az aránya? Mi a szerepe a négy végső
dolognak? Vannak-e jellemzően öregeknek, betegeknek szóló kiadványok? Közelít-e egy-egy mű
más lelkiségi könyvekhez, például a katekizmushoz?

A katolikus morálteológia helyzete és jellege a barokk idején
A morálteológiai kérdéseket a katolikus egyház teológiája a 16. század második feléig a dogmatikán
belül taglalta, majd önállóvá vált diszciplína alakjában karakterét hosszú időn keresztül leginkább a
kazuisztika alakította. A barokk időszakában művelt morálteológia elsősorban azért volt gyakorlati
jellegű, mert a lelkipásztorkodásban szolgáló papokat kellett segítenie annak megítélésében, hogy
egy-egy konkrét esetnek mi a megfelelő erkölcsi megítélése, a tettek hogyan ítélhetők meg önálló
mivoltukban, másrészt elkövetésük körülményei hogyan befolyásolják erkölcsi értékelhetőségüket.
A kazuisztika művelői mindeközben legtöbbször a probabilizmus vagy a rigorizmus irányzatát
képviselték. Az előadás ezen erkölcsi rendszereket, s a kazuisztikát mutatja be különböző szerzők
és nézeteik tükrében.

Some Facts About the University
The Pázmány Péter Catholic University was founded by the Conference of
Hungarian Catholic Bishops with the approval of the Holy See on January 30,
1992 when a Faculty of Humanities was added to the already existing Faculty
of Theology founded at Nagyszombat in 1635 by Cardinal-Primate
PÁZMÁNY Péter, archbishop of Esztergom.
The Catholic University was recognised by the Hungarian Parliament in
1993. In 1995 the Conference of Hungarian Catholic Bishops established a
Faculty of Law and Political Sciences which similarly received state
recognition. The Postgraduate Institute of Canon Law was founded by the
Holy See in 1996 with the capacity of a faculty of canon law (ad instar
facultatis). In 1998 the Conference of Hungarian Catholic Bishops
established a Faculty of Information Technology. Its organisation and
accreditation are underway.
On March 25, 1999 the Congregation of Catholic Education declared the
University a Catholic university founded with the approval of the Holy See.
The chairman of the Conference of Hungarian Catholic Bishops is ex officio
the Grand Chancellor of the University who stands at the head of the
university’s government, representing the Holy See.

Foundation of the Faculty
Ideas and Goals
The change of regimes in Hungary in 1989 gave rise to a growing need for
lawyers, as the introduction of the rule of law necessitated a greater number
of qualified specialists. The primary aim of the Faculty of Law and Political
Sciences created in 1995 is to train future members of all fields of the legal
profession with a Christian attitude.
It was also an important historical moment in which to break with the former
structure of education and return to the traditions of the constitutional states
of Europe. The Faculty intends to teach not only what is needed today but it
looks forward to the next half century as well.
In the first year of its existence, the Faculty found accommodation in the
dining hall and a few rooms of a nunnery refounded in Budapest. When the
Hungarian Catholic Episcopate recovered the former headquarters of Szent
István Társulat [St. Stephen Society] at 28-30 Szentkirályi Street, it
immediately concluded that the building complex was a worthy location for
the Faculty. At present, the Faculty disposes of most of 28-30 Szentkirályi
Street and the neighbouring building bought subsequently (26 Szentkirályi
Street).
The peculiarities of the curriculum as compared to that of other
faculties of law

- Rhetoric, stylistics, logic, and epistemology — subjects that were mostly
ignored in the education of the past era — have been reintroduced in a
considerable number of weekly hours to support the teaching of legal
history and the theory of law, among others.
- Compared to other faculties of law, economics is taught more intensively,
and international law as well as the law of economics and environmental
law receive a greater emphasis.
- Constitutional law, the law of the press and media law, information
sciences, and communication are similarly taught in more detail.
- Following from the Catholic character of the institution canon law is
taught in three terms.
- Mastering two foreign languages is compulsory.
- The weekly number of the hours of instruction is generally higher.
- There are significantly more examinations than in state universities.
3

�As an indication of its modem outlook, the Faculty publishes new textbooks
and intends to prepare students for a comprehensive knowledge and proper
application of law according to the requirements of the new millennium.
Peculiarities of admission

The Faculty favours a talent spotting type of admission. The prospective
students’ activities at the grammar school are emphatically taken into account
with special regard to extra achievements like successful participation at
inter-school competitions and language skills, which are rewarded by
additional points. Suitability for the legal profession is also tested and the
effectiveness of this test becomes manifest at later examinations. The great
number of admitted students balances against the results of the entrance
examination. This system of admission has stood the test of time. Among the
very first class of six hundred students, some twenty per cent dropped out.

Total number of students
In the academic year 2000/2001, nearly 4000 students were admitted
altogether for the regular, correspondence and distance teaching courses
(including the students of the Postgraduate Institute of Canon Law).

Structure of education
The period of study consists of ten terms for regular and correspondence
students. Students are free to attend the compulsory number of lectures and
pass the examinations during a period most convenient for them, which
means that they can finish their studies two terms earlier or two terms later as
well.
Postgraduate and other special training

There are several postgraduate courses at the Faculty, including European
law, banking law, the law of trade in real estate, environmental law, company
law, the law of economics, and the criminal law of economic offences, as
well as the law of diplomatic relations in English. There is also a
complementary course for a university degree intended to graduates of the
Police Academy and the Academy of Public Administration. The Faculty
plans to introduce further courses, e.g., in urban development and civics
education, the latter as a teachers’ course.
The PhD Programme

The postgraduate programme started in 2000/2001 with approximately 50
students.

The Faculty’s outlook is reflected in the “admission declaration” written by
ZLINSZKY János, the first dean of the Faculty between 1995 and 2000, and
signed by prospective students upon their admission:
“I the undersigned apply for admission to the Faculty ofLaw and
Political Sciences at the Pázmány Péter Catholic University as a
student in the regular/corresponding/distance teaching course. I
am aware that the Pázmány Péter Catholic University is a
Catholic institution working according to Christian values. I also
accept and observe these values.
I undertake to achieve the best possible results, decently and in an
orderly way, diligently, in solidarity with my fellow students and
my professors. I will co-operate with my fellow students and
professors in achieving a high level of education at the Faculty. I
consciously and willingly accept the difficulties resulting from the
attenuated educational resources available to the Faculty during
its process of organisation. ”

In the 1999/2000 academic year, the Faculty closed a period of revival and
expansion. In June, 2000 it sent out its first graduating class and in the year
of the Hungarian millennium it issued its first diplomas. The solemn oath of
lawyers follows:
5

�I (name) swear by God to observe the constitution, the laws, and
constitutional order of this country and respect basic human
rights, and will make use of my knowledge for the public good and
the well-being of my fellow countrymen.
1 will use my knowledge in the interest of the development of our
country in order that children and adults, the strong and the
weak, and, most of all, all abandoned persons and people in need
of defence will be able to feel secure. I intend to make, maintain,
and apply the law not for selfish ends but for the public good and
the natural interests of the people.
I consider the powers invested in me as a duty I have to account
for. I will decide the cases entrusted to me without bias, leaving
sympathies and antipathies behind, and without taking threats and
profit into consideration, to the best of my knowledge and in good
conscience according to the law.
1 will hold the Hungarian Catholic Church the university of which
I had the opportunity to attend and the Pázmány Péter Catholic
University in respect and will support it in the future, and at the
same time will do my best to remain worthy of being its doctor
juris. So help me God!

The Institute is virtually the only Hungarian workshop teaching comparative
law in-depth in the classical sense of the term (with text-notes under
preparation) and seeks to lay the foundations of the historical and
comparative investigation of legal cultures and the judicial mind (professional
methodology).

DEPARTMENT OF ROMAN LAW

One of the major preconditions of Hungary's accession to the European
Union is legal harmonisation. Roman law can offer a safe starting point for
the accomplishment of this task. The legal traditions of all civilised nations
rest on Roman law, either consciously or unconsciously and the identity or
similarity of the legal institutions and their elements go back to these origins.
The Department of Roman Law considers teaching both ius privatum and ius
publicum equally important. Ius privatum provides for the recognition of a
new ius gentium and ius publicum exerts an equally strong effect during our
times as ius privatum, similar to the penal system of Rome in connection with
crimina and delicta.

foundations of the legal culture by introducing social, political, and legal
views and institutions into the process of professional education.

DEPARTMENT OF HUNGARIAN LEGAL HISTORY

The roots of the systematic research of Hungarian legal history go back to the
early Modern Age. An important sign of this was the appearance of native
law (jus patrium}, Catholic canon law, and imperial Roman law in the higher
education of law. The enlightened monarch Maria Theresa hoped that the
execution of her Ratio Educationis (1777) would encourage changes
necessary for the acquisition of a reliable knowledge of legal history at the
Hungarian university. In the past two centuries there were outstanding legal
historians (WENZEL Gusztáv, HAJNIK Imre, KIRÁLY János, HOLUB
József, ECKHART Ferenc, BÓNIS György, and CSIZMADIA Andor, among
others) who created departments of legal history that gave rise to various
schools. Following this model, our Faculty of Law combined the forces in an
integrated structural unit including the two departments of legal history and
the one of Roman law.

The Institute of Canon Law has been part of the Faculty of Law and Political
Sciences at the Pázmány Péter Catholic University ever since its foundation.
The Institute closely co-operates with the Department of Canon Law at the
Theological Faculty and at the same time also with the Postgraduate Institute
of Canon Law ad instar facultatis.
The Institute deals with fundamental theological problems, the structure and
function of the Catholic Church, as well as its inner legal order. The courses
are taught in four terms. Along with the compulsory courses of canon law, the
students can also attend courses of the Postgraduate Institute of Canon Law as
special courses and may take the appropriate examinations. After receiving
their university diplomas they can join the PhD programme of the
Postgraduate Institute of Canon Law where the courses attended earlier and
completed successfully will be taken into account.

Oh Lord, you have searched through me, and you know me.
You yourself have come to know my sitting down and my rising up.
You have considered my thought from far off.
My journeying outstretched and my lying you have measured off,
And you have become familiar even with all my ways.
For there is not a word on my tongue,
But look! O Lord, you already know it all.
Behind and before, you have besieged me;
And you place your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
It is so high up that I cannot attain to it.
Where can I go from your spirit,
and where can I run away from your face?
IfI should ascend to heaven, there you would be;
And ifI should spread out my couch in She ’ol,
Look! you would be there.
(Psalm 139, 1-8)

DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINAL LAW
The Department offers the general part of criminal law for second-year
students and the special part for third-year students. Its activities cover the
history of criminal jurisprudence in Hungary and the rest of Europe, the
development of codification in Hungary, and, first of all, effective criminal
law. Besides analysing the regulations of statue law the curriculum also
covers the special literature on the subject, the decisions of the Constitutional
Court, and the decisions of the Supreme Court on principles. The demands of
legal policy shaping the criminal law of the future are also discussed.
The practical aspect of instruction is represented by the discussion of legal
cases in order to enable the students to work as highly qualified criminal
jurists after graduation in any field of jurisdiction.

�DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINOLOGY
Criminology is a relatively new discipline. Its history in Hungarian higher
education can be traced from the publication of IRK Albert’s Kriminológiai
tanulmányok I. Kriminálaetológia [Criminology Studies. Part I. Criminal
Aetiology] (Pozsony [Bratislava], 1912). From the late 1940s to 1965 the
subject was considered undesirable and was not instructed due to its elements
of social criticism. Beside IRK Albert, its outstanding representatives prior to
the Second World War were the following: VÁMBÉRY Rusztem, HACKER
Ervin, BALOGH Jenő, and SCHÁFER István. The Department of
Criminology was set up at the Pázmány Péter Catholic University in 1997.

Fields of research:

DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE AND
LAW ENFORCEMENT

The Department began teaching the law of criminal procedure in the course
of the reform process in this field, which necessitated the introduction of
special methods. Besides the fundamental knowledge of statute law it offers
the history of the relevant institutions, a comparative approach, and the
analysis of future perspectives.
The preparations for the new act on law enforcement as well as the
prospective changes in penalties and relevant measures also influence the
instruction of the law of law enforcement. The law of criminal procedure is
taught in two terms, whereas the law of law enforcement is taught in one term.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL LAW
The aim of teaching public international law is to familiarise the students, who
in the future will apply the law, with the fundamental institutions of international
law. Not only future diplomats are trained here, but so are future civil servants,
judges, prosecutors, attorneys, and legal advisers, who will be expected to
interpret international treaties and establish the origins and the source of general
or particular international legal obligations binding the Hungarian state. This is
why special attention is devoted to questions of treaty-making, the interpretation
of international treaties, and reservations to treaties.

DEPARTMENT OF PRIVATE INTERNATIONAL LAW AND
THE LAW OF INTERNATIONAL PROCEDURE
The subjects taught at the Department (private international law; the law of
international economic relations, the law of international procedure) have
never been included in the curriculum of a department of law in this context
so far. Traditional private international law is taught in the autumn semester,
whereas the law of international economic relations is taught in the spring
semester for fourth-year students. The curriculum of the autumn semester in
the fifth year includes arbitration court jurisdiction in the framework of the
30

�law of international procedure and the rules of procedures before various
international forums. In contrast to the curriculum of the Eötvös Loránd
University, private international law is treated here as a separate branch of
law and the law of international economic relations as a complex area of
jurisdiction. The introduction of the law of international procedures as an
independent subject serves to acquaint the students with the activities of the
international arbitration courts and other international agencies.

The Institute instructs primarily classical private law supplemented by the
changes taking place in the Modern Age. Special emphasis is laid both in
education and in research on topics of Roman law and those of Hungary’s
accession to the European Union.
The subjects taught at the Institute cover a wider scope than the usual
curriculum of universities in the past decades:
- The protection of basic rights, press and media law, as well as bioethics
are taught as independent disciplines. Due to its significance in modern
life, commercial law is taught separately in two semesters. Family law is,
however, taught in the framework of civil law, similarly to the law of
medicine.
- In the second year alternative courses and in the third year a compulsory
seminar contribute to the better acquisition of civil law.

The subjects pertaining to civil law are^aught in the following order: 1 term
— general parj, the law of persons; 2 term — the law of things, ^he law of
succession; 3 term — the law^of obligations — general part; 4in term —
contracts, the law of medicine; 5 term — family law, copyright law.

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL LAW AND THE PROTECTION OF
BASIC RIGHTS

The spread of constitutional court jurisdiction all over the world has changed
the structure and operation of the states. In Hungary the Constitutional Court
was among the first to introduce and apply the means to measure
constitutionality and elaborate the principles of primary rights. This fact
accounts for the joint treatment of constitutional court jurisdiction and the
protection of basic rights. Besides the activities of the Hungarian
Constitutional Court the Department also keeps track of the results of the
most important constitutional courts abroad.

�DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCIAL LAW
Teaching commercial law, dealing with legal relations in commercial life, is
based on the legal material and outlook acquired by the students in
connection with the basic institutions of civil law. Having organic links with
the law of obligations dealt with in the framework of civil law and, in fact, as
a continuation thereof, commercial law as a subject includes the instruction of
classical commercial contracts, as well as the laws on companies (including
the law of bankruptcy and liquidation) pushed temporarily to the background
by the special Eastern European development of law, the law of securities,
and the law of consumer protection. The international trends in this field
(more precisely those of the European Union) are also dealt with in the
curriculum.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR AND SOCIAL SECURITY LAW

Formerly, issues of employment or labour relations used to belong to the
sphere of private law and were instructed accordingly. Outstanding works on
labour law were written in those days as well, especially by SÖVÉNYHÁZYNEUHOLD Ferenc and VINCENTI Gusztáv, the significance of which was
the greater since a considerable portion of labour rules was at that time based
on customary law, similarly to private law. The coming into force of the
Labour Code of 1951 made the teaching of an independent labour law at
universities possible for the first time. The structural and educational
framework of the subject at the Pázmány Péter Catholic University today
corresponds to this model. The Department of Labour and Social Security
Law deals also with scholarly research and contributes both to the creation of
a new Labour Code and to finding the best ways of its execution.

DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND COMPETITION LAW
The issues of environmental protection have been present in the curriculum of
the University ever since the setting up of the Faculty of Law and Political
Sciences. The instruction of the relevant subjects at other universities usually
takes place in the form of alternative courses at best, whereas this Faculty was
the first to introduce the compulsory study of environmental protection to
satisfy international demands, primarily those of the European Union. The
instruction of environmental protection consists of two parts, namely, the
40

�course of “environment and development” on the one hand representing the
basis on which new attitudes are being formed, and “environmental law” on
the other. Accordingly, the Department was launched in 1996 as a
Department of Ecology and in 1998, it was restructured as a Department of
Environmental Law. Due to the demand for structural changes at the Faculty,
competition law is also temporarily taught here from 1999 on, so the
department is at present called Department of Environmental and
Competition Law.

Instruction in foreign language
Master ofScience in Environmental Management
Fall 2001 will be a special date for the University of San Francisco (USF) and
the Pázmány Péter Catholic University. The two universities will jointly offer,
in Budapest, a graduate degree programme leading to a Master of Science in
Environmental Management degree. The language of instruction will be
English and the degree will be awarded by the USF.
The programme is built on the strengths of both universities: environmental
law and public policy on the part of the PPKE and environmental science and
engineering, as well as risk assessment on the part of the USF. Details of the
Budapest programme have, in large part, been derived from the USF’s twenty
plus years of experience in educating and training professionals in
environmental management, health, and safety, and the PPKÉ’s knowledge of
the needs in Hungary.
The programme is designed not only for practising environmental specialists
but also for other interested professionals who wish to enhance, broaden, and
update their skills and knowledge so that they can meet the demands of
industry and government, as well as of society in general.

Fields ofresearch:
Environmental ethics; human ecology; harmonisation of Hungarian
environmental law with that of the European Union; consumer protection and
environmental protection; social organisations for environmental protection.

The traditions of the Department go back to the work of SCHÜTZ Antal and
the legacy of MOÓR Gyula. Its present-day activities aim at combining the
methods of modern symbolic logic and the analytical theory of knowledge
with the achievements of continental philosophy applicable in teaching law.
The curriculum offers classical subjects enabling the students to master
argumentation, the theory and techniques of speech, and the indispensable
skills of acting in writing, to prepare legal documents under the novel
conditions of an information society. Besides such traditional subjects as
logic, rhetoric and epistemology the character of the Faculty makes it possible
also to cover Christian and analytical ethics and philosophy of language, as
well as alternative cultural subjects in the social context of persuasion that
foster scholarship in drawing up legal documents, pleadings, arguments, and
juridical proofs. Faculty members provide graduate training in logical aspects
of computer science and PhD courses in information and decision sciences.
The methodology and information technology of distance and distributed
education, including learning theory, also forms part of the Department’s
fields of research.

In autumn 1997 the Faculty of Law and Political Sciences of the Pázmány
Péter Catholic University launched an electronic distance learning course the
general requirements of which are basically identical with those of the
traditional courses. The differences follow from the special method of
learning.

The basic difference is that the students are not supposed to attend lectures
and take part at tutorials. All they have to do is to use their computers for
keeping contact with the university. The Faculty found technical solutions to
make all information, including the text of the lectures, the required reading
list, the exam requirements, and the control tests during the year available for
the students in an electronic form.
Besides lecturers, undergraduate assistants skilled in information technology
are involved in this work. Their task is to be in communication with the
students and to electronically prepare the materials made by the lecturers of
the departments. At the beginning of each academic year the Faculty offers
distance learners information on electronic media and in the form of written
materials specifying the PC requirements and the necessary software, and
teaches how to use them.
The Faculty plans to develop this modern method of teaching into an
accredited course of distance learning. The necessary methodological and
organisational development, as well as the adaptation of the subject-matter of
instruction is in process and the hardware facilities are being constantly
developed.
The Institute of Information Sciences and Distance Teaching was set up in
March, 2000. Along with operating the inner information network of the
Faculty its task is to maintain a computer laboratory and to offer basic courses
for users, as well as to develop the home page of the Faculty and the
possibilities of access to the Internet.

The Conference of Hungarian Catholic Bishops proposed the establishment
of the Institute of Canon Law at the Pázmány Péter Catholic University in
June, 1996. In the same year the Congregation of Catholic Education
announced the approval of the Holy See, giving the status of a faculty of
canon law ad instar facultatis (decision no. 975/96 from November 30,
1996). The Institute closely co-operates both with the Department of Canon
Law at the Faculty of Theology and the Institute of Canon Law at the Faculty
of Law and Political Sciences.
The Institute is able to grant baccalaureate, licentiate, and doctor’s degrees in
canon law. The baccalaureate of canon law is recognised by the Hungarian
state as a university diploma and the doctorate as a PhD. The official
languages of instruction are Hungarian, Italian, and German.

Conditions for admission:
- Baccalaureate: a diploma in theology or a certificate as a teacher of
religion is needed (at least a college degree);
- Licentiate: a baccalaureate of theology or canon law, or a university
degree as a teacher of religion, or legal qualification is needed;
- Doctorate: a licentiate of canon law is needed.

The courses of the Institute can be attended as special courses by students of
the Faculty of Law and Political Sciences and the Faculty of Theology. These
students can apply for admission at the Institute after graduation. Courses
attended previously and completed with a successful examination can be
taken into account. The comprehensive examination for the licentiate can be
taken at the earliest two years after graduation. Defence of the dissertation for
a doctorate is possible at least one year after acquiring the licentiate.
The library of the Institute consists approximately of 3,000 books, 3,000
offprints, and 200 microfiches. The work of the members as lecturers and as
researchers is aided also by forty specialist periodicals and thousands of
specialist books on canon law in the library of the Faculty of Theology.

�You whom I have taken hold of
from the extremities of the earth,
and you, whom I have called
even from the remote parts of it,
and so I said to you:
’You are my servant,
I have chosen you,
and 1 have not rejected you.
Do not be afraid,
for I am with you.
Do not gaze about,
for I am your God.
I will fortify you.
I will really help you.
I will really keep fast hold ofyou
with my right hand of righteousness. ’

Leading Lecturers1
BÁGER Gusztáv
associate professor
Heller Farkas Institute of Economics
Bom in 1938.
Academic degree: candidate of sciences
(economics), dr. habil.2
Foreign language: English (advanced).
International contacts: representation of
Hungary in the management of the
Administrative Council of the World Bank
and in the Council of Europe, appointed by
the Minister of Finance.
Fields of research: international finances; Hungarian economic policy;
globalisation with special regard to the role of international financial
institutions; European integration.
Some publications in foreign languages:
- The Plural Rationality and Interest of National Planners: Experiences in
Hungary. In: Plural Rationality and Interactive Decision Processes (Berlin,
Heidelberg, New-York, Tokyo: Springer Verlag, 1985), pp. 37-54.
- Privatisation in Hungary: Constraints and Impacts. In: Aula No. 4. 1992.
pp. 94-102.
- Convergencies of Major Policy Indicators as Means toward a Greater
Global Monetary and Economic Integration. In: The Global Monetary
System After the Fall of the Soviet Empire (Brookfield USA, Hong Kong,
Singapore, Sydney, Aidershot: Avebury Publishing Ltd., 1996), pp. 3-10.
Academic degrees in Hungary used to be different from those in Western Europe
and America, the first degree being granted by universities (dr. univ., predecessor of
the PhD) and the others by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. The second in rank
was the candidate’s degree (CSc), and the third, termed senior academic degree
(DSc), is the highest in rank today. The first two traditional degrees are now
disappearing and come to be replaced by PhD which is the equivalent of the former
candidate’s degree. Both the first and the third levels are so-called doctor’s degrees,
not differentiated in writing (e.g. dr. NAGY László). Students of law are also entitled
to the title doctor (dr.) upon completing their studies, similarly to physicians. This
complexity of the Hungarian usage has led us to the conclusion that we should omit
these prefixes in the present publication.
Habilitation is the process of getting the certification (habil.) required for a full
professorship.
