Degrees in Hungary

From its art nouveau architecture to its fairytale palaces, the stunning scenery will complement and inspire your studies throughout the country. Wherever you choose to attend Hungarian universities, you’ll no doubt be immersing yourself in the center of sophisticated cuisines and unique folk traditions. 

Budapest. Whether you’re looking for a big city, a small town, or ancient educational history, Hungary serves up hot dishes to all of its students. Budapest, beautifully divided by the Danube River, is made up of the hilly district, “Buda,” and the flat district, “Pest.” Universities in Budapest are peppered with architectural beauties that have survived centuries of development, and the surrounding city is flush with plush green hills, natural hot springs, flea markets, and romantic cafes. Budapest is home to more than 30 higher education institutions, all of which draw foreign students from around the world.

Pecs. If you’re looking for something on a smaller scale, look towards the south of Budapest in a town called Pecs. At a fraction of the size of Budapest, Pecs offers both the frills of a larger city and the charms of a small town. You won’t be starved for adventure when you’re surrounded by wineries, forests, and spa villages. The city has recently refreshed its amenities by adding new cultural centers, a concert hall, a new library, and a “cultural quarter.” The local university also got a makeover when its three smaller colleges merged into one to teach a broad range of subjects to a large student population of over 30,000. 

Debrecen. Last but not least, if you’re looking for the most historically prestigious education that Hungary has to offer, head to Debrecen. Debrecen University is the oldest and most revered in Hungary and hosts over 4,000 foreign students to boot. For those not quite fluent in Hungarian yet, Debrecen University not only holds courses in English, but also sponsors English lectures, films, comedy nights, game days, sports teams, and events. Discover the street festivals that fill the pedestrian core with visitors and old-town bars and nightclubs for a lively student scene after nightfall. Take a break from class and relax in a Hungarian bath house or water park.
