National University of Public Service (NUPS) started its operation on the 1st of January 2012 as the key The educational institute and think-tank of the Hungarian public service. 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. NUPS has five faculties: the Faculty of Military Science and Officer Training, the Faculty of Law Enforcement, the Faculty of Science of Public Governance and Administration, the Faculty of International and European Studies and the Faculty of Water Sciences. 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 transfers 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, law enforcement and water management. A comprehensive approach towards each of these disciplines enables us to explore the latest advancements in public service science. The newly constructed Ludovika University Campus and the renewed Orczy Park were ceremoniously opened on the 4th of April 2018. 26 hectares of green area provides open spaces for walking, running, training or relaxing, not only for students, but for the general public, too. The renovated historical facilities, and the new Educational Centre are waiting to be used by students with patriotic spirit, in a modern campus highly equipped with training buildings, dormitories, shooting range, sports hall, swimming pool and outdoor sport grounds.

FACULTY OF LAW ENFORCEMENT

Law enforcement officer training at the institution dates back to 1970 when the Police College was established. Being the legal successor of the college, NUPS continues to be the sole higher educational institution in this field through the Faculty of Law Enforcement. The faculty’s high-level, top quality study programmes are aimed to train future professionals, commissioned officers, public servants and public officials for posts at organizations and institutions of law enforcement. These trainings are supported by language and ICT labs and separate classrooms for special subjects. In addition, student life is ensured with several facilities such as a self-service restaurant, a gym, a library with specialized material along with a students’ residence offering rooms for 3 or 4 persons each. One part of the classes takes place in the Law Enforcement Educational Building and Residence Hall (1089 Budapest, Diószeghy Sámuel str. 38– 42.), which has several rooms designed especially for law enforcement education: interrogation rooms, a room for police lineups, a room for questioned document examination, two criminalistics labs, a vehicle examination bay, a scene house (with a simulated environment consisting of a pub, a bank and a flat), a room for the administration of arrests, a photo lab, and a simulated prison cell as well.

11 FACULTY OF INTERNATIONAL AND EUROPEAN STUDIES

In the past three years NUPS has become the centre of unified public service training and education in Hungary. As an integral part of this process, the Institute of International Studies of NUPS has become a major pool of trainings, research and experts engaged in international studies connected to all of the professional fields of public service. The result of this organic development is the establishment of the Faculty of International and European Studies. In February 2015 the new Faculty has started its operation with the overall aim of educating students and officers to make an international career in public service. The Faculty is relying on the other three faculties’ strengths, at the same time developing its own education and research capacities. Departments on international economics, foreign trade and international public finances will be established. Flagship topics of the Faculty will be: dependency of national and international public policy making and administration, system of international public law, institutions of the European integration, thematic strategic and security policy, international negotiation techniques and foreign language development of students. The new Faculty will also be prepared to deliver continuous education courses for acting diplomats, while preparing the after growth for national foreign service, as well as for international and European institutions via preparation on EPSO (European Personnel Selection Office) exam preparations for example. MA in International Public Service Relations Programme: The master’s in International Public Service Relations 3-semester long programme aims to train experts to fulfil tasks within international and EU agencies in the administration of foreign affairs, defence policies, and law enforcement. Our students will be acquainted with a broad range of contemporary questions in international relations, from the phenomenon of globalization to the law and policy making of international organizations to international law and the law of the European Union, as well as ’hot topics’ such as good governance and integrity management. Upon completion of the programme, graduates will benefit from a thorough and comprehensive understanding of today’s international affairs, as well an understanding of the instruments that will enable them to critically assess, analyse and answer global and international problems and policy issues.
