The University of Trnava (in Trnava) (Slovak: Trnavská univerzita v Trnave) is a college of "university type" based in Trnava, Slovakia.
Historical university
The original Jesuit university was founded in 1635 by the Archbishop of Esztergom, Péter Pázmány. It had a faculty of arts, faculty of theology, faculty of law (since 1667) and faculty of medicine (since 1769). It lasted 142 years in Trnava (German: Tyrnau; Hungarian: Nagyszombat) when it was moved to Buda in 1777 and finally to Pest in 1784. Its legal successor is the Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, Hungary.
