Study in Hungary
University applications in Hungary generally run from mid-December to February 15. We help students prepare their files in advance to ensure a smooth application process. Hungary offers high-quality, European-standard education with affordable tuition fees, ranging from €3,000–8,000 for most programs, while specialized fields like medicine and dentistry may reach up to €16,000 per year. Programs are available across a wide range of universities, with private institutions charging slightly higher fees.
Monthly living expenses typically range from €500–900, including rent (€185–600), food, transportation, health insurance, and personal expenses. Student residences average around €350 per month. Scholarships, including Stipendium Hungaricum and Erasmus Mundus, can cover full or partial tuition, with eligibility influenced by academic achievement, motivation letters, language proficiency, and proactive preparation. Many universities also offer independent partial or full scholarships, making Hungary an attractive and accessible destination for international students.
