an engineering subject and chemistry a general course of study. For 30 years the technical university has the right to award graduate degrees, in 1901 the right to award doctorates is granted. Doctorates can only be awarded to those whose studies already include a graduate diploma, a post-graduate diploma and have completed a complex doctoral thesis. In 1871, after adoption by the House of Representatives, of rules and regulations for the operation of this institution it is decided to relocate from Buda to Pest. The Minister of Education designates that a five-year lease for buildings in Pest be awarded to the Nágel Apartment Building (the corner of Két Nyúl Street and Csillag Street, now called Lónyay Street and Gönczy Pál Street). This former residential building was transformed for educational use, and even with a student population in excess of 500, was found to be too small. It became the home of the Technical University fortén years until July 1882. From the 1872-73 academic year the leadership of this institution was by Rector József Sztoczek.

On the 13th of December 1879, Article of LawXLVIl was passed, earmarking a sum of 790.000 Crown in state aid for the construction of buildings to be used for the purpose of an Institute of Veterinary Medicine and Technical University. The Treasury owned buildings on Museum Boulevard (Kunewalder's) that had been used, until their demolition, by the Institute of Veterinary Medicine. This became the site for a new building complex designed by Imre Steindl, professor of the Technical University. The Neo-Renaissance main building (ELTE Humanities Faculty) and the Eszterházy (Puskin Street) buildings are erected, as is a smaller building in the inner courtyard for the Department of Zoology. After demolition of the Kunewalder buildings construction of the Chemistry Pavilion starts on Eszterházy Street in August, 1880,
