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 (Archi-Episcopali Strigoniensi), Péter Pázmány (Latin: Petrus Pazmanus, Slovak: Peter Pázmaň). 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 (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.

- Faculty of Philosophy and Arts
