University of Public Service Information

Ludovika - University of Public Service started its operation on the 1st January 2012 as the key educational institute and think-tank of the Hungarian public service. The history of Ludovika Academy, one of the predecessors of the University, however, dates back over two centuries. The University preserves and continues significant traditions. The legal predecessors of the University – the founders of the historic traditions of training public service professionals - were the Zrínyi Miklós National Defence University, the Police College and the Faculty of Public Administration at Corvinus University of Budapest. The predecessors of NUPS had a great tradition in building careers and changing lives, the challenge of creating synergy among different public service education systems had to be tackled. NUPS has four faculties; the Faculty of Military Sciences and Officer Training, the Faculty of Law Enforcement, Faculty of Public Administration and the Faculty of International and European Studies. The renewed training portfolio of our University reflects the contemporary challenges of social, economic, and security issues affecting the public sector. The educational and research performance of NUPS has made an important contribution to the modernisation of public service and throughout to the integration processes at European and international scale. NUPS successfully introduced a new comprehensive and career-based training system of public servants that is a way towards one of the most professional knowledge-transfer among European public services. Our commitment to research excellence is an investment in the future of our region. NUPS is a leading knowledge source in the fields of public policy, diplomacy, security and the military, and law enforcement.
