The János Selye University is Slovakia's first accredited Hungarian higher education institution which started in 2004. It currently functions with three faculties: a theological, an economical and a pedagogical faculty. The predecessor of the Reformed Theological Faculty was the John Calvin Theological Academy founded in 1994.

According to the bilateral agreement signed on 26 November 2015, the two institutions would like to enhance the already existing good relations between the two institutions by joining their intellectual, material and institutional resources. In this sense, the cooperation will involve common activities in the fields of education and research, student, teacher and staff mobility, common conference programs, publications and doctoral programs.

The agreement was signed by the dean of the Theological Faculty of the János Selye University, Dr. Attila Lévai, and by the rector of the Protestant Theological Institute, Dr. Elek Rezi, with the participation of staff and students from both institutions.
