The University of Pannonia (Hungarian Pannon Egyetem, formerly known as Veszprémi Egyetem) is a university with its main campus in Veszprém, Hungary. It was founded in 1949 and is organized in four faculties: Humanities, Engineering, Economics, and Informatics. Before 2006, it was named University of Veszprém.

History

The university was founded in 1949. In the beginning it worked as a regional Heavy Chemical Industry Faculty of the Technical University of Budapest in Veszprém.[4] In 1951, it became independent under the name of Veszprém University of Chemical Engineering.

The university first offered courses in four areas of chemical technology: Oil and Coal Technology, Electrochemical Industry, Inorganic Chemical Technology, Silicate Chemistry. From the mid-1960s two courses — Nuclear Chemistry and Technology, Process Control and System Engineering — became part of the Chemical Engineering education in Veszprém.

Veszpremi Egyetem

The changing and increasing requirements set for the graduates persuaded the university to continually reform and restructure its education activity. As a result, new courses were introduced: agrochemistry in 1970, Chemical Engineering Management in 1973, higher level foreign language teaching in 1983 and Instrumentation and Measurement Techniques in 1984.

The restructuring process accelerated in the past few years and this resulted in the renewal and expansion of the university's education profile. To respond to the society's growing demand for computer professionals, with the help of external financial support and the university's scientific expertise, the education infrastructure of the Information Technology and Automation courses has been created.

As a result of the increasing openness of Hungary, the need for teachers of foreign languages increased considerably. Having recognized this, the university introduced Teacher Training courses for teachers of English and then for teachers of German and French and the education of philologists in specialties: Hungarian language and literature, theatre sciences. etc. In the meantime, the education of Catholic theologists started in the form of a regional faculty of the Theologic College. Simultaneously, the Faculty of Teacher Training (now Faculty of Humanities) and the Faculty of Engineering were established. In 1991, the university was renamed as University of Veszprém.[5]
