Deadlines and intakes
The main intake is September. Deadlines vary by university and programme, and medicine programmes run entrance exams.
After admission, apply for the permit straight away: the 60-day decision period plus embassy appointments means a June or July application is tight for September.
Language you need
English-taught degrees are widely available, especially in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, engineering, business and IT. Your university sets the English requirement for your programme, and OIF asks for a language certificate as part of the permit application.
Hungarian is a hard language for most learners and daily life outside the university runs in it: landlords, doctors outside international clinics, most part-time jobs and many government offices. Medical students in English-taught programmes still meet Hungarian-speaking patients in clinical years, so check how much Hungarian your curriculum includes and budget time for it.
