Ludovika - University of Public Service
Budapest, Ludovika tér 2.
About

Ludovika - University of Public Service (LUPS) is a unique institution situated in the capital of Hungary, the vibrant city of Budapest.

LUPS is the key educational institution and think-tank of the Hungarian public service, thus being responsible for the education of future personnel of public administration, including civilian professionals as well as military and law enforcement officers.

Lecturers of LUPS are members of Academia and often practising professionals simultaneously. Thus, students not only receive theoretical knowledge but first-hand experiences as well. In addition, to serve the needs of central and local governments, the University has developed a “comprehensive approach” that enables mobility and the crossing of career paths between civil, military, and law enforcement services.

Furthermore, LUPS not only pays attention to developing world-class education but also to creating a modern, lively, open and student-friendly environment with ever-developing, 21st-century standard quality infrastructure.
