The Hungarian Rectors’ Conference (HRC) is a body to represent the whole Hungarian higher
education institution system. Its members are the rectors of universities and colleges. The system
of Hungarian higher education is very diverse as it comprises state, church, private and foundation
higher education institutions which all are represented both in Hungary and abroad by HRC
as a public corporation. The conditions of operation of HRC are provided by higher education
institutions.
HRC is, by virtue of law, a public benefit organization with special legal status to perform also
public duties set out in the Act on Higher Education in connection with its members and to the
activities and duties of its members.
HRC is an independent public corporation entitled to represent higher education institutions and
to protect their interests. HRC may deliver an opinion on any issue with relevance to the operation
of the higher education system and may make proposals for decision-makers or those in charge
of preparing decisions. The Statutes include the regulation of operation and a four-level system
of organization of HRC. The supreme decision-making organization of HRC is the Plenary Session, comprising all of the rectors of the Hungarian higher education institutions (66). Universities
and colleges are represented by a specific University Section and a College Section. Operative
decision-making and implementation duties are fulfilled by the Presidency with ten members. Special
professional issues are discussed by nineteen committees with powers of decision-preparation.
The bodies of HRC are supported by the Secretariat headed by the Secretary General.
The means available to HRC are specified by the Act on Higher Education and other legal
regulations.
Interest representation can mainly be exercised by HRC’s right of assent in most significant issues
of the regulation of higher education.
Legal regulations provide also another means for interest representation, allowing the representatives
delegated by HRC to take part in the activities of other higher education bodies and organizations.
HRC delegates members to the Hungarian Accreditation Committee of Higher Education, to the
Higher Education and Scientific Council, to the Hungarian Scholarship Board, to the Language
Examination Accreditation Board and to other organizations active in the field of higher education
and research.
HRC is member of the European University Association and the International Association of
Universities.

Introduction

Studying in Hungary is a unique experience, both from an
academic and a professional point of view. The students
who visit us develop their skills and knowledge and, at the
same time, they have the opportunity to live in a country famous worldwide for its hospitality and its quality of
education.
Hungary’s higher education centres are dynamic and modern institutions, constantly adapting to the new challenges
of the knowledge society and market needs, preparing its’
students for employment in a wide variety of fields. The
universities are firmly committed to the task of converting
their campuses into poles of attraction for international
talent. They are the centres of knowledge, culture, and the workshops of research. Besides preserving
national traditions, Hungarian HEIs are part of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), and
develop and maintain relations with a large number of HEIs all over the world.
There are more than 60 higher education institutions located all over Hungary, offering students
courses leading to degrees at the undergraduate, graduate, postgraduate and PhD level in
countless specialisations taught in Hungarian, English, German or French.
Since this booklet can only give a brief description of the Hungarian system of higher education,
I suggest you browse the website of the Hungarian Rectors’ Conference (www.mrk.hu) for more
details about our universities and colleges.
Last, but not least, I would like to encourage both students and instructors to choose Hungary, one
of Central Europe’s most dynamic, cosmopolitan countries for gaining knowledge, experience and
friendships that will last for a lifetime.

Nobel Prize winners, famous Hungarian inventions including the ball-point pen (Biro), phosphorous
matches (Irinyi), the electric train (Kandó) and the telephone exchange (Puskás), not to mention a
long list of famous composers, painters and artists, including Zoltán Kodály, Béla Bartók, Victor
Vasarely and Jenő Ormandy.

About Hungary
A small country with a great history, Hungary is located in the heart of Europe. The history of the
Hungarian state goes back more than eleven centuries. Today Hungary has a population of 10
million in an area of 93,030 km2.
Hungary is a parliamentary democracy. Hungary has been a full member of the European Union
since 1st May 2004. Its capital Budapest is a metropolis with nearly two million inhabitants and it is
considered by its many visitors as one of Europe’s most beautiful cities. Other Hungarian cities are
easily accessible from the capital by motorway or rail. Hungarians are famous for their hospitality
and cuisine. Culture and sports are also important features of Hungarian life including first-class
opera, theatres, museums, exhibitions and concerts as well as world tournaments in various sports.
The largest pop-festival in Europe, ‘Sziget’, is held annually on one of the islands in the river
Danube in Budapest.
Hungary is a market economy. In the last twenty years, Hungary has become an attractive country for investors. Numerous major international corporations have set up their regional centres in
Hungary. In recent years, several Hungarian companies have achieved a leading role in the region.

Hungary’s Higher education system
Higher education programmes in Hungary are offered by universities and colleges. In accordance
with the common European higher education principles, Hungary introduced the three cycle degree
structure in 2006 (BA/BSc, MA/MSc, and PhD/DLA). Within the framework of this system, BA/BSc
programmes lead to a first degree. Master level programmes require a first degree as admission
criterion. There are a few fields of tertiary education (e.g. law and medical studies) where undivided

Frequently Asked Questions
Are my credits gained in Hungary transferable?
As Hungary has been a member of the European Union since 2004, the Hungarian higher education
institutions are part of the European Higher Education Area, and the credits and degrees gained
in Hungary are transferable to other European institutions. The main objective of the introduction
of the credit system was to harmonize different country’s education systems and to facilitate student
mobility. As a result of this harmonisation, higher education institutions in Europe will recognise
your credits earned in a Hungarian institutions and vice versa.

Introduction

Introduction

long programmes remain the standard form of study (10 to 12 semesters) leading to a first degree
which is however equivalent to an MA/MSc degree. All BA/BSc and MA/MSc degrees grant access
to the labour market. In addition to full degree courses, HEIs offer shorter programmes too, such
as summer universities and partial training.
The strength of Hungarian higher education lies in its PhD/DLA programmes. The doctoral degrees
granted by Hungarian HEIs have a good international reputation. The pre-requisite to entering
doctoral programmes is a MA/MSc degree.

What are the admission requirements? What qualifications do I
need in order to be admitted to a higher education institution in
Hungary?
According to the Higher Education Act, admission to Bachelor’s degree (BA) programmes and
unified, undivided, long-term Master’s degree programmes is selective. The prerequisite of admission
to any study programme in a higher education institution is either (a) the Hungarian secondary
school leaving certificate, or (b) its foreign equivalent, or (c) a degree obtained in higher education
accredited or recognized in Hungary. There are a few exceptions where practical examinations or
aptitude tests are also required. Study programmes in the fields of music and arts require applicants
to demonstrate their particular artistic abilities. If you wish to obtain a PhD degree in Hungary, the
basic requirement is to hold a university degree which is equivalent to an MA/MSc degree.

Do I need a visa?
A) Students from the European Union and the European Economic Area

4

B) Foreign students from outside the European Union
Foreign students from outside the European Union and students who are not citizens of countries
listed in the 539/2001/EC council regulation Annex II. are required to apply for a visa. The
application may be submitted at the Hungarian diplomatic mission or consular post in the country
of your permanent or habitual residence. If there is no such mission there, you can turn to any
other Hungarian diplomatic mission or consular post. The process of issuing the visa may take one
month.

Hungarian Higher Education 2013

Hungarian Higher Education 2013

Students from the European Union, the European Economic Area and students who are citizens of
countries listed in the 539/2001/EC council regulation Annex II. may travel to Hungary without a
visa. They may apply directly for the residence permit upon arrival to Hungary if their expected stay
exceeds the period of 90 days.

5

Once you have a valid visa, you will also need a residence permit. For the residence permit
application you need to submit the visa; a letter of acceptance from the Hungarian HEI you wish
to attend; confirmation from the institution that the applicant is exempt from the payment of tuition
fees or that he/she has already paid the tuition fees; a document certifying occupancy in Hungary;
documents certifying subsistence in Hungary; and a certificate of health insurance. Note that the
process may last for up to two months.

How much money do I need for living in Hungary?
In practice, you will need at least 100,000 HUF (320 EUR; 530 USD) per month in order to cover
the costs of decent accommodation (about 50,000-60,000 HUF + utilities (190-230 EUR; 280330 USD)), pay for public transport (one month in Budapest: 3,850 HUF (14 EUR; 21 USD)), and
even go out occasionally. This amount should cover the costs of rent, food, clothing, personal
hygiene, local transport, study materials, health insurance, telephone and other expenses – but not
the tuition fee. There are small regional differences in the cost of living: Budapest is more expensive
than other Hungarian cities.

How do I find accommodation?
You have several options to choose from when looking for public or private accommodation
in Hungarian cities. You may stay in the student residence of the university you are attending,
rent a room, share a flat, or rent a whole flat on your own. Since the rent may take up more
than the half of your budget, your other financial options will depend greatly on your choice of
accommodation. Note, however, that student residence places – meaning usually twin and more
rarely single bedrooms – are limited in number.
Information on private places for rent can be found in the classified adverts in newspapers, on the
Internet or on the notice boards of the university. In many institutions, the offices of international
or foreign student affairs, or the centre for student services will help you find a convenient place to
stay. Renting rooms and sharing flats is naturally cheaper.

Do I require health insurance?

6

Residents of EEA (European Economic Area) countries and Switzerland, who are entitled to health
care of the national health service of their respective countries of residence, can receive health care
free of charge in Hungary on the basis of the European Health Insurance Card.
Residents of countries which have signed bilateral agreements with Hungary are also entitled to
receive health care free of charge in urgent cases. Participants of international student exchange
programmes and scholarship holders in Hungary are entitled to free medical care as well.
Residents of third countries have to pay full price for the health care services in Hungary. Foreign
residents studying in Hungary may obtain health insurance by signing agreement with National
Health Insurance Fund (OEP) and paying 30% of the local minimum wage per month (23,400
HUF; approx. 90 EUR, 130 USD).

Short Introduction, International relations
King Sigismund College – or ZSKF in Hungarian – was established in 2000 as a response
to the increased demand for quality higher education and training created by European
integration and national modernization; also as a response to a governmental proposal
based on labour market research. ZSKF constructed its degree programmes based on
the European Union-supported concept of “lifelong learning” and along four academic
pillars (humanities, economics, information technology, social sciences). Degrees are
available in 11 Bachelor’s programmes and 6 Master’s programmes, all of which are
based on constant observation of the rapidly-changing needs of the labour market. We
utilize both innovative and traditional methods our programmes.
Over the past few years ZSKF has tripled its number of international partnerships
with cooperating higher education institutions. As a result our students can utilize the
ERASMUS programme to study in (primarily) other European countries for one or two
semesters. We also have partner institutions in the Ukraine, Russia and Vietnam.
We organize competence-based training for our students through our Career and Alumni
Centre. Trainers and presenters from the private sector prepare students in the areas of
communications, conflict management and personal development to better equip our
students to face the challenges they may encounter in the labour market.

Short Introduction and International Relations
Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design Budapest (MOME)
is one of the most significant European institutions of visual
culture, thanks to its traditions and intellectual background. In
its effort to visualize its professional concepts, MOME combines
its own character and traditions with common social values
and the most up-to-date trends. Its educational structure
comprises architecture, design, media and theory. MOME’s
definite ambition is to further broaden its international relations. It welcomes every professional co-operation which inspires
its educational and artistic work. The first bilingual (English/
Hungarian) degree courses to be launched in the near future
will allow MOME to exist on a higher level of European
education. On the one hand MOME is a university that educates
professional designers and on the other hand, is an intellectual
workshop with the aim of setting up creative processes in order
to enhance design consciousness in Hungary.

Short Introduction
The Franz Liszt Academy of Music trains students in classical,
sacred, ethnic and jazz music, musicology and music history.
As the Liszt Academy has adopted the Bologna system, the
three levels of training are BA, MA, and PhD. The Academy
has always taken pride in meeting the standards set by its
founders and revered professors; this has resulted in providing
the students with a special and demanding Hungarian teaching
method. Guidance is given by excellent professors, who are
renowned performing artists, scholars, visiting professors and
jury members at other illustrious universities, jury members of
international competitions, and for whom teaching is a passion.

Short Introduction and International Relations
The Hungarian University of Fine Arts has been participating in the
ERASMUS Mobility Programme and ERASMUS Intensive Projects
as a chartered institution since 1999. HUFA currently has over
40 partner institutions with over 40 students travelling abroad on
exchange and a nearly equal number of incoming international
students. We also have a very active teaching and staff mobility
programme within the ERASMUS framework. In addition, we also
have a number of institutions with whom the university maintains
a non-ERASMUS partnership (eg. Repin State Academy Institute
of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg). Each year, various exhibitions and
events take place as a result of international cooperation.
At present, HUFA has no degree programme in English, as all
theoretical courses, which comprise an integral component of
the study program, are taught in Hungarian. Exchange and guest
students can, however, take practical courses (such as Painting
Studio Work, for example) with consultation in English. While
exchange students are not required to pay tuition, the cost of
practical training at HUFA for guest students is HUF 240,000
per semester. For more information on the eligibility criteria and
application/admission process for guest students please refer to
our webpage: http://www.mke.hu/en/english/index). For further
information please contact International Coordinator Zsófia
Rudnay at [email protected].

The mission of the University of Theatre and Film is to train talented
artists and related art professionals in different fields; to be welleducated and to get well-established expertise in drama, theatre,
film, television and radio; and also to provide them a possibility of
further development, education and training.
