Why study in Hungary?
Hungary combines the attractions of both Central and Eastern Europe, with excellent universities and a track-record for producing award-winning researchers.
The capital Budapest is packed with historic, architectural and cultural delights, as well as being a city famed for its exciting nightlife. The rest of the country offers everything from historic castles to vineyard-covered hills.
Combine this diversity with low living costs and a strong focus on internationalization and it’s easy to why Hungary is becoming a popular study destination.
What are the best programs in Hungary?
Hungary’s higher education system is in line with much of the rest of Europe. Universities in Hungary offer three types of degrees:
- Alapképzés (bachelor’s)
- Mesterképzés (master’s)
- Doktori képzés (doctorate)
Bachelor’s degrees in Hungary usually last for three or four years, with more specialist subjects such as medicine lasting for longer. In some subjects it’s possible to study a complete five or six year course which combines the bachelor’s and master’s levels.
Hungary has a number of institutions that specialize in certain areas, including business schools, medical universities and engineering universities.

What is the cost of studying in Hungary?
Compared to the rest of Europe and the US, the tuition fees in Hungary are relatively affordable. The amount you’ll need to pay will vary depending on the program and university, but you can expect to pay between $1,500 and $9,000 per year.
The living costs in Hungary are also quite low, but how much you’ll need to budget will depend on your spending habits, where you study, and what accommodation you choose. For example, if you study in Budapest and rent a private flat, it will cost much more than living in a dorm in a smaller city.
