Education / Postgraduate study
The Századvég Academy of Politics was established in 1991 as a pioneering initiative of the regime-change in Hungary. The Founders of the school were the first to educate a new generation of politicians and political scientists, since they were well-prepared and committed towards the values of democratic political culture. The institution's innovative curriculum has been responding properly to the new challenges. The postgraduate programme offers a training model that combines basic theories of political issues, analysis of actual social processes, and the development of practical political skills and abilities, thereby simultaneously providing a theoretical base and the practical skills necessary for either a politician or political scientist.
