on the centenary of his birth
to be held in

Northrop
Frye remains one of the most quoted scholarly authors of the twentieth
century, who addressed a wide range of cultural, social and religious
issues far beyond what is traditionally called literature. Because of
his interdisciplinary approach, his comprehensive grasp of our common
cultural heritage and his imaginative treatment of the Bible, the study
of his work promises to yield valuable insights into our age of
multiculturalism and spiritual quest.
Keynote speakers include
Robert D. Denham
John P. Fishwick Professor of English, Emeritus, Roanoke College
Professor Péter Dávidházi
Hungarian Academy of Sciences and Eötvös Loránd University

The legal predecessor of our University was the Reformed Theological Academy of Budapest, founded in 1855, and granted University status by the Hungarian Parliament in 1900. In 1993, the General Assembly of the Hungarian Reformed Church took the decision to establish a multifaculty University. In establishing our University, the General Assembly decided to set up international cooperation programmes with Western-European (especially Dutch and Belgian), American and Japanese higher education institutions.
Our primary aims are:
• to offer diversified, multi-level, broadly-based, high-level education in conformity with the intellectual heritage of the
Reformed Church;
• to guarantee educational facilities for students and to assist in the development of their academic potential;
• to follow the tradition of many centuries of Protestant and Hungarian higher education;
• to serve the development of Church and Nation, through educational and academic activity carried out in the spirit of an universitas scientarium.
Our faculties:
• Faculty of Theology
• Faculty of Teacher Training
• Faculty of Humanities
• Faculty of Law and Political Sciences
