WHY IS IT GOOD TO STUDY ABROAD?

In todays 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 peoples 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.

Since December 21, 2007, Hungary has been a member of
the Schengen Area, and applies the Schengen legislation
in full. At present, 26 states, 22 of the 28 member states
of the European Union, as well as Norway, Iceland,

Area. On the other hand, several members of the European
Union, that is Bulgaria, Cyprus, Romania, and Croatia do
not yet participate in the Schengen cooperation. The
United Kingdom and Ireland opted out the Schengen Area.
The Schengen visa and entry regulations are only
applicable for a stay not exceeding 90 days within a 180

days period. Rules relating to stays exceeding 90 days are

laid down in the national legislation of the member states
concerned.
Visas and residence permits issued by one of the

another member state and are, from the point of view of
social security, entitled to the same rights and have the
same obligations as citizens of that given member state.
If you participate in an international student exchange
programme or study at a state-run institute, you are
entitled to free medical care. Based on the valid agreement
between the host and the home universities, you are allowed

If you study in Hungary independent of any placement, you
can take out health insurance with the Health Insurance
Fund at a cost of 30% of the local minimum wage.
3. Student ID
If you have a student ID in your own country, all you need to
do is obtain an international student ID prior to your visit to
Hungary. This will entitle you to reductions on train and coach
tickets, museum entrance fees, Youth Hostel accommodation,
library memberships, and will offer various other discounts.
A Hungarian student ID will be supplied by the institute
to which you are placed as a student (the application
for such an ID costs HUF 1,400). This will be indicated in
the conditions of your scholarship. Students planning to
begin partial studies usually receive a Hungarian ID from
the International Department or the Registrars Office of
the institution at which they are studying; please contact
your institution for further details. When you submit your
application for a student ID, make sure you can present
your attendance certificate, your letter of acceptance
from the institution in question and (if this is a state
scholarship) the letter confirming your state grant.
4. Higher Education in Hungary
Hungarian higher education has represented academic
excellence for more than 600 years. The first university

in Hungary was founded in 1367 in Pcs, 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 56 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 68 semesters (34
years, 180240 credit points) and lead to a Bachelors
degree (in Hungarian: alapfokozat).
The second cycle, leading to a Masters degree (in
Hungarian: mesterfokozat), lasts 24 semesters (12 years,
60120 credit points).
Short-cycle (2 years) higher vocational education
and training do not provide higher education degree,
but 30120 ECTS credits can be recognised in Bachelor
programmes of the same field of study postgraduate
specialisation training (120 credit points).

Any Bachelors and Masters degree can be followed

by specialised higher education training programmes
(in Hungarian: szakirny tovbbkpzs). 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
kpzs) is a postgraduate alternative to follow any Masters
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 contacthour 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.

10

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 20032004.
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. From August 15, 2015 all
diplomas will define the EQF (European Qualifications
Framework) level of the qualification.

4.4. Diploma Supplement

The Diploma Supplement (DS, in Hungarian: oklevlmellklet)
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.

4.7. Scholarships
Hungary offers scholarships for international students
and lecturers in higher education institutions as well as
research fellows who intend to gain further professional
experience in Hungarian higher education institutions,
research or art institutes. In Hungary the programmes
listed below are managed by Tempus Public Foundation.

4.5. Admission
According to the Higher Education Act, admission to
Bachelors degree programmes and some long-term
Masters degree programmes are selective. The minium
requirement for admission to these degree programmes
is a secondary school leaving certificate or its nonHungarian 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.

5. Practical information
5.1. Cost of Living
The minimum wage in Hungary is HUF 105,000 (EUR 350),
which allows for a very modest living. To be able to pay
your rent, buy proper food and afford an occasional
evening out, you need more money than this: a minimum
of HUF 120,000 (EUR 400) is necessary.
Here is a list of essential items to give you an idea of
prices in Hungary:
one litre of milk: HUF 280 ~ EUR 0.9
one small bottle of beer: HUF 130200 ~ EUR 0.51
one bottle of red table wine: HUF 6001,500 ~ EUR 25

19

20

one litre of petrol: HUF 400430 ~ EUR 1.5

one litre of bottled water: HUF 100150 ~ EUR 0.30.5
one loaf of bread: HUF 200 ~ EUR 0.7
accommodation: HUF 25,000120,000 ~ EUR 80400 /
month
a meal in the university canteen: HUF 6001,100 ~ EUR
24
a meal in a restaurant: HUF 1,2004,000 ~ EUR 414
a monthly public transportation pass for students: cca
HUF 3,600 ~ EUR 12
a single ticket (bus, tram): HUF 350 ~ EUR 1.2
a cinema ticket: HUF 7901,100 ~ EUR 2.63.6
library card: cca HUF 2,000 ~ EUR 6.7 / academic year
Generally speaking, the capital is more expensive than
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
60,000HUF 80,000 a month plus overhead. Renting a flat
outside the capital is always cheaper, depending on the
location of the university you attend.

Short introduction
to the Central Hungarian Region
This region is the heart of Hungary, the hub of
intellectual life, culture, business, recreational activities,
and tourism. Budapest is a world-famous spa city with ten
thermal baths, built over thermal springs producing unique

medicinal water and most of which are listed buildings.

Nearly all industries are represented in the region.
With its world-class public and higher education
institutions and renowned research institutes with a long
