The Sapientia – Hungarian University of Transylvania is a private higher education institution of Hungarian language in the historic region of Transylvania, Romania.

## History

[edit]

University building in Miercurea Ciuc University building in Târgu Mureș

Sapientia University was established with the support of the Hungarian Government[2] and funded by the Sapientia Foundation. The latter, in turn, was founded by the four Hungarian historical churches of Transylvania: the Roman Catholic Church, the Calvinist Reformed Church in Romania, the Unitarian Church of Transylvania and the Hungarian-speaking Evangelical Lutheran Church.

Its establishment was motivated by needs outgrowing the present choice of Hungarian university education in Romania, especially that the percentage of Hungarian students in Romanian university life does not represent the percentage of Hungarian population in Romania, and university education in Hungarian does not cover the range of necessary specializations. From among the 25,000 Hungarian students in Romania only one of three may study in their mother language.

To fill what it saw as this gap and fulfil the needs described above, the Board of Trustees of the Sapientia Foundation founded by the eight leaders of the Hungarian Historic Churches in Transylvania on April 14, 2000, decided to establish the Hungarian University of Transylvania. The university is open to qualified students of any nationality who meet the required admissions.

The university was accredited by the Romanian Law 58/2012.[3]
