Brief History of the Romanian Philology Department of the “Eötvös Loránd” University in Budapest

Summary/Abstract: Assuming a past of almost 150 years, the Romanian Philology Department of “Eötvös Loránd” University in Budapest was never just a simple educational institution. Names like Alexandru Roman, Tagliavini and László Gáldi are worth mentioning because due to their work the Romanian department in Budapest has come to integrate into the international circuit of linguistics studies. They were widely appreciated not only in Hungary but also throughout Europe. Without them, there would be no Romance studies in Hungary today. Although faced with several difficulties in all those years, the department was constantly striving to maintain its identity and establish the best results both in research and in teaching its students. In this context, practical language courses aim to familiarize students with basic notions in Romanian and promote Romanian language, culture and civilization among interested Hungarian students. Besides teaching courses or seminars, the department has organized a range of scientific and cultural events in recent years designed to attract academic interest for Romanian philology studies or to provide students with the opportunity to get acquainted with Romanian cultural reality.
