Faculty of Music And Visual Arts (Undergrad)

The Faculty of Music and Visual Arts in Pécs is the only centre of higher education in Hungary that integrates training in music and fine arts. The Faculty was established in 1996 from various art departments of its legal predecessors. Its establishment was facilitated by the traditionally strong, nationally outstanding artistic life of Pécs.

The main body of the Faculty’s artist teachers is constituted by fine artists and musicians who have settled down in Pécs. The private and public collections of the city – offering a uniquely comprehensive introduction to 20th century Hungarian art – the many concerts, the city’s symphonic orchestra, the long tradition of choral music and several other internationally renowned artistic groups, all provide a strong foundation for the Faculty as a higher educational centre in the arts.
