Honoris Causa | University of Pécs

The artists who inspire our community

What do a world-famous opera legend, a pioneering media artist, an influential curator and one of the most celebrated contemporary ceramic artists have in common?
They are all Honorary Doctors of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Pécs.

These creators come from different countries, disciplines and generations, yet they share something essential: a commitment to artistic excellence and a lasting impact on culture. Their recognition reflects the values that continue to shape our Faculty today.
As a student, you'll be part of a creative environment that looks beyond borders, encourages experimentation, and connects emerging artists with a wider international artistic community.

In accordance with the requirements stipulated in the doctoral statutes of the University of Pécs the Senate of the University confers the degree of honorary doctor upon those persons from Hungary and abroad who:

• have achieved outstanding results in their respective fields for several decades,
• have gained international recognition,
• have maintained close links with the University of Pécs,
• have rendered the university and the Hungarian sciences outstanding services,
• and the recognition of whose activities, by conferring upon them the honorary doctor title, boosts the prestige of the University of Pécs.

We announce that our honorary doctors have held their inaugural addresses in compliance with Appendix 14. of the Rules of Organization and Operation of the University of Pécs at the respective faculties.
