Hungarian Preparatory Programme at MFA-Balassi Preparatory Programme
Hungarian universities are well known for their high quality of education. MFA-Balassi Preparatory Programme is an expert in organizing preparatory courses for foreign students who would like to study at Hungarian universities. Our system has been designed and refined since 1957, so we can offer the most effective course for students whose aim is to take a successful entrance examination.
Learning Hungarian language and reaching an advanced level in field specific vocabulary in Hungarian is not just important but an overwhelming experience at the same time for our students. Refreshing their knowledge in Biology, Chemistry or Maths – choosing a subject according to their needs for the university studies – and using Hungarian terminology are essential for their university years.
Within the Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship, MFA-Balassi offers a ten-month-long preparatory programme of university studies. The speciality of this programme is that it involves intensive learning of both Hungarian language and field specific knowledge and vocabulary. Its schedule embraced by innovative language teaching methods and our own modern field specific materials enables the students to prepare efficiently for their further studies. Having completed this course, students will be able to apply for the various faculties of some prominent Hungarian universities.
