Question

Which is correct:

The Faculty of History at Jagiellonian University

or

The Faculty of History of Jagiellonian University

?

Answer 1

Both sentences can be correct depending on how you use them.

The first sentence uses at to give a location. In the second sentence of is used to show belonging or connection. (the faculty belongs to that university and no other).

We can show these uses in the following questions and answers below:

Question: Where can I find the faculty of History? Answer: You can find the Faculty of History at Jagiellanian University**.=location**

Question: Where is the best University to study History in this country? Answer: You can study History at the faculty of History of Jagiellanian University. (Notice that here you use at to show location of the faculty, but you use for to show that the faculty is connected to ,or belongs to Jagiellanian University (and no other University).

I hope that helps
