Education system

Hungarian higher education has been representing academic excellence for more than 650 years. Today, there are 65 higher education institutions in Hungary, ranging from minor universities of applied sciences to top research universities.

The largest institutions offer courses in all study fields while smaller institutions have programmes in a few specific areas.

The degree structure of tertiary education is based on three cycles. Nearly all study fields lead first to a Bachelor’s degree (usually 3 years), and after a further study period to a Master’s degree (2 years). However, there are some exceptions: medicine, pharmacy, dental and veterinary studies, architecture, law, teacher training, and certain arts-, crafts- and design-related study programmes, which retain a long single-cycle structure of 5 or 6 years of study. A four-year doctoral programme is a post-graduate course to follow any Master’s or equivalent qualification.

Credit System

The European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) in Hungary ensures the transparency of the learning, teaching and assessment processes by facilitating recognition of your learning achievements and qualifications in many countries throughout the European Higher Education Area. The ECTS ensures that the grades you have achieved can be accepted by other European institutions in other countries.

For incoming international students, a Transcript of Records must be issued that contains a table of completed courses, credits, the Hungarian grade and the ECTS grade. The number of credits you have to achieve might differ from one institution and course to another in an academic year or semester therefore you may need to approach your local international coordinator to obtain the exact information about this.

At the end of each semester, the student’s study achievement is evaluated with a grade in the Hungarian credit system (5-excellent, 4-good, 3- medium or satisfactory, 2-sufficient or pass, 1-fail).

An average student’s annual timetable in Hungarian higher education:

•First half of September: registration and signing up for courses •Second half of September to middle of December: Term time Autumn •Middle of December to beginning of February: exam period semester

•First half of February: registration and signing up for courses •Second half of February the first half May: Term time Spring •Middle of May to the beginning of July: exam period semester

•Autumn break: end of October •Winter break: end of December Holidays •Spring break: Easter week
