Language of study in Europe

Found: 1

Hungary

The main language of study is Hungarian – and it is the biggest obstacle. To apply through felvi.hu, including for state-funded places, you need advanced Hungarian, and state-funded places are only available on programmes taught in Hungarian.

That is why most international students choose programmes in a foreign language – there are more than 700, mostly in English. For these you will usually need IELTS or TOEFL, or the university tests your English in its own exam, as Semmelweis does for medicine.

You can search for programmes by language in the Study Finder.
