Campus

However, besides these, numerous smaller units are spread across the city, for example the departments of physics and the Institute of Nuclear Research [1] of the HAS forming a compact “mini-campus”, or the Faculty of Agronomy. The Faculty of Engineering also enjoys its own campus on Ótemető street.
