1. Get familiar with what we offer

Take the first step towards planning your studies and get familiar with our higher education’s system, our degree programmes to find what suits you the best and browse universities throughout the country to get a basic overview about how and where you could obtain your degree exactly.

2. Choose your study programme

Our Study Finder database can help you with finding the programs you like by browsing through study fields, institutions, cities, and levels of study. At the moment this database provides information on 700+ programmes in English, French, German and several other languages.

3. Contact the chosen institution

If you managed to choose your future institution to visit the university’s website to get more detailed information about the university itself and the course you want to apply for. Contact your institution to know what’s next, ask for details about deadlines, and set the appointment for a Skype interview if needed by the school.

4. Keep up with the deadlines

Institutions may have their own specific deadlines for the application period that is why contacting your school is essential. Application timeline can help you with general timing but it does not give you the deadlines of each institution.

5. Read about funding options

If you will fund your studies by yourself it’s worth considering from the start how you will finance the tuition fees for years. As scholarships can’t be awarded to all applicants you may need to cover living expenses and your university’s tuition fees on your own. Fortunately, in Hungary, we offer several funding options for self-financed students to fund their university years. See Tuition fees and Funding options to help you planning your budget consequently.

6. Prepare your application

Generally, you need to have some basic documents such as a language proficiency test or your obtained diplomas to apply for the chosen course. See Entry and admission requirements to know what should be submitted. Please note that we listed these requirements in general so the chosen institution’s expectations may vary. 

RECOGNITION OF DIPLOMAS

There is no automatic EU-wide recognition of academic diplomas, which means you need to apply for this procedure to continue your studies in another EU country.

If you obtain your degree in Hungary and wish to study in another EU country, you need to go through a specific procedure to have your degree recognised in the other country. A “Statement of Comparability” of your earned university degree can be issued in your home country or in the host country of your studies. This certificate shows how your degree compares to the ones you can earn in the other EU country.

Before starting a recognition procedure, go to ENIC’s website (European Network of Information Centres) to obtain more information on the process and the required documents. All the Hungarian information centres are listed here so you can contact the responsible authorities to inquire about the recognition process. To get the best information contact the information centre of your home country, too.

RECOGNITION OF QUALIFICATIONS

You will also need to go through a recognition procedure if you would like to practice your profession in the EU, outside Hungary. On the official website of the European Union you can find out if your profession is regulated, in which case, you will need full recognition of your qualifications.

After application, you will receive an acknowledgement of your application from the authorities and will have to make a final decision within

• 3 months: in the case of doctors, general care nurses, veterinary surgeons, dentists, pharmacists or an architect benefitting from automatic recognition of qualifications.
• 4 months: for all other professions.

In case of rejection, they must provide an explanation as to why your application was rejected.
