It is funded by the Dharma Gate Buddhist Church, which aims to give access to the Buddhist tradition within Hungary.  The College offers MA programmes in Buddhist Studies and related specialisations and students graduate as Buddhist Religious Teachers.

– an understanding of the process of the spread and establishment of Buddhism in the West;
– the examination of possible relations between Buddhism and modern social and natural sciences;
