Student residence permit

You will need to apply for a residence permit within 15 days of arriving in Hungary. This applies to both EU citizens and citizens of other countries who plan to stay in Hungary for more than 90 days.

Scholarship for Hungarian students

Hungary has double-sided agreements with approximately 68 countries. Bilateral state scholarships are based on agreements on scientific and educational cooperation signed by the governments of the two countries. If your country of departure has such an agreement with Hungary, you can continue your scholarship in Hungary as a candidate of your country of origin.

You can also apply individually, regardless of your country, without a nomination.

Higher education in Hungary

Higher education is offered in two types of higher education institutions, egyetem (University) and főiskola (College), both of which can offer courses in all three cycles of study: baccalaureate, master's and doctoral courses.

The largest institutions offer courses in all areas of study, while smaller institutions have programs in several specific areas. Students can earn double degrees at many universities through joint degree programs in which the Hungarian University works together with another European Higher Education Institution. When applying for these programs, students enter both universities and receive a double degree from both institutions.
