DEAR STUDENT, Are you interested in studying abroad? Are you interested in studying in the heart of Europe, in Hungary? Hungary is a country rich in history with an increasing importance. In this brochure we aim to give you information about the country, the Hungarian higher education system, especially about foreign language courses, study and research opportunities offered to international students, as well as practical information about travel, accommodation, fees, etc.

We hope that you will find the information presented in this brochure useful. We also hope that you will come to study in Hungary and that you will enjoy the opportunities offered by our excellent universities and colleges and enjoy yourself in our country.

WHY IS IT GOOD TO STUDY ABROAD? In today’s global information society there is a strong trend for students to spend one or more semesters abroad at a foreign university or college in order to improve their knowledge and to get acquainted with different cultures, practise other languages, and gain new experiences. In the worldwide competition young people’s future prospects are enhanced by studying abroad, as the working environment is becoming increasingly international and companies demand intercultural skills and competences.

ABOUT HUNGARY A small country with a rich history of more than one thousand years, Hungary is located in the heart of Europe. The first Hungarian monarch, King (Saint) Stephen, established Christianity in Hungary in the 11th century, pledging allegiance to Rome. In the 15th century Hungary was one of the strongest European nations in terms of economic and military power, as well as cultural development. Since its foundation Hungary has always played a significant role in the history of the region, as well as the whole of Europe. Acknowledged for its citizens with exceptional talent, Hungary has greatly influenced the international political, scientific, and cultural scenes alike.

Any Bachelor’s and Master’s degree can be followed by specialised higher education training programmes (in Hungarian: szakirányú továbbképzés). Such training programmes do not lead to another degree but offer the option of specialisation in a particular field of study.

Programmes can be full-time, part-time or of a distance learning nature.

A three-year doctoral programme (in Hungarian: doktori képzés) is a postgraduate alternative to follow any Master’s or equivalent qualification. In order to be awarded a doctoral degree, each candidate needs to possess a type ‘C’ intermediate level foreign language certificate and has to take an entrance exam to be admitted to a doctoral programme, which includes the elaboration of a written dissertation plan and an interview. Institutions are entitled to request further entrance requirements. A doctoral

programme consists of two modules: the module of contact-hour courses is composed of diverse courses lasting for a period of 6 semesters (180 credit points) and a written dissertation supported by scientific publications. The applicants have to pass several doctoral exams and have to defend their dissertation. The prerequisite of launching the doctoral degree awarding process is intermediate level language proficiency in two foreign languages.

in Hungary was founded in 1367 in Pécs, located in the southern region of Hungary. Today there are 92 higher education institutions in Hungary including top research universities and colleges. These are financed either by the state, private organisation or a church.

Hungary joined the Bologna Process in 1999 by signing the Bologna Declaration with 28 other countries with a view to establishing the European Higher Education Area by 2010.The key objectives of the process are:

• to increase mobility by improving the comparability of higher education structures, qualifications, and degrees through developing proper tools for the recognition of periods of studies and degrees,

• to improve employability through the modernization of curricula and to strengthen links with the labour market,

• to enhance the quality of training by developing a scheme of quality assurance.

4.1. The Three-cycle System The Hungarian Act on Higher Education was inspired by the objectives of the Bologna Process. The new degree structure based on three cycles of higher education was adopted in December 2004. All main fields of study have been restructured in accordance with the new system. However, there are some exceptions: medicine, pharmacy, dental, and veterinary studies, architecture, law, and certain crafts, arts and design related study programmes, which retain a long single-cycle structure of 5–6 years of study. A new Act on National Higher Education was approved in 2011, which restructured teacher training into the long single-cycle.

The first cycle programmes last 6–8 semesters (3–4 years, 180–240 credit points) and lead to a Bachelor’s degree (in Hungarian: alapfokozat).

The second cycle, leading to a Master’s degree (in Hungarian: mesterfokozat), lasts 2–4 semesters (1–2 years, 60–120 credit points).

Short-cycle (2 years) higher vocational education and training do not provide higher education degree, but 30–120 ECTS credits can be recognised in Bachelor programmes of the same field of study postgraduate specialisation training (120 credit points).

4.2. Credit System The European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) is the only existing credit system in Hungary. The ECTS was developed within the framework of European higher education cooperation and mobility programmes for recognising periods of studies. The ECTS was implemented in the academic year 2003–2004.

4.3. Diploma Hungarian diplomas have a high prestige throughout the world. The foreign language courses are of high standard with tuition fees quite favourable by international comparison. These, combined with reasonably low living costs, provide optimal conditions for students wishing to pursue studies in Hungary.

4.4. Diploma Supplement The Diploma Supplement (DS, in Hungarian: oklevélmelléklet) has been issued by higher education institutions since July 2003. Since 2006, all higher education institutions have provided the document automatically and free of charge both in Hungarian and English and/or in the language of an ethnic minority. The DS contains all information about the qualification and the degree programme and provides a short description of the subjects taught.

4.5. Admission According to the Higher Education Act, admission to Bachelor’s degree programmes and some long-term Master’s degree programmes are selective. The minium requirement for admission to these degree programmes is a secondary school leaving certificate or its non-Hungarian equivalent. There are a few programmes where practical examinations or tests are also required. Higher education studies are financed either by the state or by the students themselves. International students wishing to attend a full degree course in Hungary should contact the National Higher Education Admissions Office (www.felvi.hu) for more information.

other cities, especially as far as housing, restaurants, and transportation are concerned, but the amount you need to live comfortably depends heavily on your habits and life style.

5.2. Accommodation There are several kinds of accommodation options in Hungary but the cheapest one should be a dormitory belonging to the students’ homes section of the university you attend. One advantage is that it is cheap, it is an easy way of making friends and it provides you with the facility of regular partying.

On the other hand, renting an apartment is a more feasible option if you prefer privacy. You can rent a room at about HUF 25,000 a month, but renting a whole flat is also an option to follow. It is more expensive but a flat share will reduce your costs. We are talking about HUF 60,000–HUF 80,000 a month plus overhead. Renting a flat outside the capital is always cheaper, depending on the location of the university you attend.
