Program description:
The ten-month-long preparatory programme of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade is offered to foreign students who plan to pursue their full BA/BSc or undivided studies in Hungarian institutions of higher education. After the course, admission criteria for university programs are the following: successful final exam and successful entrance exam at the chosen university. The main aim of the program is to prepare the most able students for their further education.

In the first semester (September-December) students study only Hungarian Language (30 classes a week). Depending on their specialisation, they also have different subjects in Hungarian (e.g.: Biology, Chemistry, Maths, History etc.) from November and during the second semester (January-June).
