The oldest building on the campus is the main building designed by Alajos Hauszmann and built in 1884.

This building was declared a protected monument in the townscape in 1987. The women’s dormitory was built at approximately the same time, and the gymnastics hall was completed in the next century in 1930. Further changes took place only after the Second World War when the games hall (1952-53), the men’s dormitory (1953-54) and the cafeteria were built.

The ceremonial presentation of the 25-meter long swimming pool and the games hall above the pool were built in 1986.

The practice hall (24x72m) with synthetic overlay, built on the site of former athletic field of 200 meters, and the building complex with the auditorium (430 person capacity) were completed between 1978 and 1980. The new pride of the University is the modern five-storey building on Alkotás Street, which was completed in 1987.

In the same year the men’s dormitory was opened, enlarged by one storey and fully modernized.

An integral part of the University is the sport establishment on Csörsz Street, the building of which began in 1948. The playing field was designed between 1976-78 and today there is a grassy soccer field, a 400-meter synthetically surfaced athletic field, a hard surface throwing field, a tennis court with a synthetic surface and a handball court.

Within the renovation of the University’s facilities the Games Hall was modernized and enlarged by one storey and a new conditioning room.

In 1992 a facility absent from the campus for the past several decades was integrated into the property of Faculty: a water camp on the shore of the Danube River with adjacent buildings in Budapest. The restored complex, that was once the property of the Worker’s Militia, provides an excellent area for hosting the summer water sport courses and camps as well as for recreational activities for the faculty.

1993 was the year when the dormitory complex was fully organized resulting in a 250 bed, 3 storey hotel style complex. The building is connected to the cafeteria and the billiards room. More facilities and services are available for our students, faculty members and guests: swimming pool, sauna, tennis courts, conditioning room, printing and computer services, etc.

The Hungarian University of Sports Science (HUSS) as well as its Programs (from EQF Level 4 to Level 8) are accredited based on the Standards and Guidelines in the European Higher Education Area (ESG). The institutional and program accreditations are made by Hungarian Accreditation Committee (HAC), which is a national-level, independent body of experts tasked with the external evaluation of the quality of educational and related research activities and the internal quality assurance (QA) systems of higher education institutions in Hungary. The HAC operates within the scope of the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area (ESG) as well. The HAC is registered in the EQAR, member of ENQA, CEENQA and DEQAR.

The University has volunteered to launch, operate and continuously improve the ISO 9001:2015 quality management system in order to further increase customer satisfaction and develop its organizational structure, services and standard. The scope of certification is higher education, vocational education and adult education, scientific research and development, project-based sport, physical education and physical activity development, education and examination. Certification areas are continuously monitored. Outcomes of the feedback on various services and follow-up analyses have major impact on future policy making and planning procedures. HUSS places major emphasis on fostering the labour market-sensitive skills and knowledge of students.
