Your Enriching Student Journey Begins Here
The University of Tokaj draws its intellectual roots and working ethos from the venerable Sárospatak Reformed College, established in 1531, boasting a nearly 500-year legacy. Further enriching its history, in the 17th century, the dedicated patronage and organizational zeal of Princess Consort Zsuzsanna Lorántffy nurtured a vibrant educational community. This spirit was solidified by the presence of John Amos Comenius, a prominent educator of his era, who was invited to Sárospatak, leaving an indelible mark on its educational heritage.
