The University of Trnava (in Trnava) (Template:Lang-sk) is a college of "university type" based in Trnava, Slovakia.
Historical university
The original Jesuit university was founded in 1635 by the Archbishop of Esztergom (Archi-Episcopali Strigoniensi), Péter Pázmány (Template:Lang-lat, Template:Lang-sk). It had a faculty of arts, faculty of theology, faculty of law (since 1667) and faculty of medicine (since 1769). It lasted 142 years in Trnava (Trnawa, Tyrnavia, Türnau, Nagy-Szombath) when it was moved to Buda in 1777 and finally to Pest in 1784. Its legal successor is the Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, Hungary.
Present-day university
The present-day university was established in 1992 and although bears the same name, it isn't a legal successor. It currently has five faculties, 4 of them seated in Trnava:
- Faculty of Philosophy and Arts
- Faculty of Education
- Faculty of Health and Social care
- Faculty of Law
and 1 in Bratislava:
