fakultás

Fakultás is a Hungarian word that translates to "faculty" in English. It refers to a principal division of a university or college, often organized around a specific academic discipline or a group of related disciplines. These faculties are responsible for the academic administration, teaching, and research within their respective fields. Examples of common faculties include the Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Science, Faculty of Medicine, and Faculty of Law.

Each fakultás is typically headed by a dean, who is an academic administrator responsible for the overall management of the faculty. Within a fakultás, there are usually departments or institutes that focus on more specialized areas of study. Students enroll in a specific fakultás to pursue a degree in a particular subject. The structure of faculties can vary between universities, but the fundamental concept of organizing academic study and research into distinct units remains consistent. The term is widely used in the Hungarian higher education system.
