How to apply
Choose state-funded or self-funded
EU citizens can compete for state-funded places in Hungarian through the national system. English-taught degrees are mostly self-funded.
Apply to the university
For English-taught degrees you apply to each university directly. Medical schools take applications from autumn to spring.
Take the entrance exam
Medical and health degrees test biology and chemistry or physics, plus an interview in English.
Consider Stipendium Hungaricum
Students from partner countries outside the EU can apply for the government scholarship, which covers tuition and a stipend.
Cost
Tuition for English-taught degrees is set by each university. Medicine and dentistry cost several times more than other subjects.
Language
English-taught degrees ask for proof of English, tested again at the entrance interview.
Good to know
Hungarian medical degrees are recognised across the EU, which is why they attract students from all over Europe.
