The Hungarian Rectors’ Conference (HRC) is a body to represent the whole Hungarian higher education institution system. Its members are the rectors of universities and colleges. The system of Hungarian higher education is very diverse as it comprises state, church, private and foundation higher education institutions which all are represented both in Hungary and abroad by HRC as a public corporation. The conditions of operation of HRC are provided by higher education institutions. HRC is, by virtue of law, a public benefit organization with special legal status to perform also public duties set out in the Act on Higher Education in connection with its members and to the activities and duties of its members. HRC is an independent public corporation entitled to represent higher education institutions and to protect their interests. HRC may deliver an opinion on any issue with relevance to the operation of the higher education system and may make proposals for decision-makers or those in charge of preparing decisions. The Statutes include the regulation of operation and a four-level system of organization of HRC. The supreme decision-making organization of HRC is the Plenary Session, comprising all of the rectors of the Hungarian higher education institutions (66). Universities and colleges are represented by a specific University Section and a College Section. Operative decision-making and implementation duties are fulfilled by the Presidency with ten members. Special professional issues are discussed by nineteen committees with powers of decision-preparation. The bodies of HRC are supported by the Secretariat headed by the Secretary General. The means available to HRC are specified by the Act on Higher Education and other legal regulations. Interest representation can mainly be exercised by HRC’s right of assent in most significant issues of the regulation of higher education. Legal regulations provide also another means for interest representation, allowing the representatives delegated by HRC to take part in the activities of other higher education bodies and organizations. HRC delegates members to the Hungarian Accreditation Committee of Higher Education, to the Higher Education and Scientific Council, to the Hungarian Scholarship Board, to the Language Examination Accreditation Board and to other organizations active in the field of higher education and research. HRC is member of the European University Association and the International Association of Universities.

Introduction
Studying in Hungary is a unique experience, both from an academic and a professional point of view. The students who visit us develop their skills and knowledge and, at the same time, they have the opportunity to live in a country famous worldwide for its hospitality and its quality of education. Hungary’s higher education centres are dynamic and modern institutions, constantly adapting to the new challenges of the knowledge society and market needs, preparing its’ students for employment in a wide variety of fields. The universities are firmly committed to the task of converting their campuses into poles of attraction for international talent. They are the centres of knowledge, culture, and the workshops of research. Besides preserving national traditions, Hungarian HEIs are part of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), and develop and maintain relations with a large number of HEIs all over the world. There are more than 60 higher education institutions located all over Hungary, offering students courses leading to degrees at the undergraduate, graduate, postgraduate and PhD level in countless specialisations taught in Hungarian, English, German or French. Since this booklet can only give a brief description of the Hungarian system of higher education, I suggest you browse the website of the Hungarian Rectors’ Conference (www.mrk.hu) for more details about our universities and colleges. Last, but not least, I would like to encourage both students and instructors to choose Hungary, one of Central Europe’s most dynamic, cosmopolitan countries for gaining knowledge, experience and friendships that will last for a lifetime.

Hungarian Higher Education Institutions´ Programmes in Foreign Languages1 Come Study in Hungary! About Hungarian higher education in general Hungarian higher education has a long history, with the first university founded in 1367. Hungary’s modern higher education system consisting of universities and colleges emerged in the 20th century. Hungarian diplomas are highly regarded worldwide. The programmes are of a high standard, yet tuition fees and living costs are quite reasonable. Hungary’s huge contribution to the world’s intellectual heritage includes many Hungarian-educated Nobel Prize winners, famous Hungarian inventions including the ball-point pen (Biro), phosphorous matches (Irinyi), the electric train (Kandó) and the telephone exchange (Puskás), not to mention a long list of famous composers, painters and artists, including Zoltán Kodály, Béla Bartók, Victor Vasarely and Jenő Ormandy.

A small country with a great history, Hungary is located in the heart of Europe. The history of the Hungarian state goes back more than eleven centuries. Today Hungary has a population of 10 million in an area of 93,030 km2. Hungary is a parliamentary democracy. Hungary has been a full member of the European Union since 1st May 2004. Its capital Budapest is a metropolis with nearly two million inhabitants and it is considered by its many visitors as one of Europe’s most beautiful cities. Other Hungarian cities are easily accessible from the capital by motorway or rail. Hungarians are famous for their hospitality and cuisine. Culture and sports are also important features of Hungarian life including first-class opera, theatres, museums, exhibitions and concerts as well as world tournaments in various sports. The largest pop-festival in Europe, ‘Sziget’, is held annually on one of the islands in the river Danube in Budapest. Hungary is a market economy. In the last twenty years, Hungary has become an attractive country for investors. Numerous major international corporations have set up their regional centres in Hungary. In recent years, several Hungarian companies have achieved a leading role in the region.
Hungary’s Higher education system Higher education programmes in Hungary are offered by universities and colleges. In accordance with the common European higher education principles, Hungary introduced the three cycle degree structure in 2006 (BA/BSc, MA/MSc, and PhD/DLA). Within the framework of this system, BA/BSc programmes lead to a first degree. Master level programmes require a first degree as admission criterion. There are a few fields of tertiary education (e.g. law and medical studies) where undivided

Introduction
long programmes remain the standard form of study (10 to 12 semesters) leading to a first degree which is however equivalent to an MA/MSc degree. All BA/BSc and MA/MSc degrees grant access to the labour market. In addition to full degree courses, HEIs offer shorter programmes too, such as summer universities and partial training. The strength of Hungarian higher education lies in its PhD/DLA programmes. The doctoral degrees granted by Hungarian HEIs have a good international reputation. The pre-requisite to entering doctoral programmes is a MA/MSc degree.
Frequently Asked Questions Are my credits gained in Hungary transferable? As Hungary has been a member of the European Union since 2004, the Hungarian higher education institutions are part of the European Higher Education Area, and the credits and degrees gained in Hungary are transferable to other European institutions. The main objective of the introduction of the credit system was to harmonize different country’s education systems and to facilitate student mobility. As a result of this harmonisation, higher education institutions in Europe will recognise your credits earned in Hungarian institutions and vice versa.
What are the admission requirements? What qualifications do I need in order to be admitted to a higher education institution in Hungary? According to the Higher Education Act, admission to Bachelor’s degree (BA) programmes and unified, undivided, long-term Master’s degree programmes is selective. The prerequisite of admission to any study programme in a higher education institution is either (a) the Hungarian secondary school leaving certificate, or (b) its foreign equivalent, or (c) a degree obtained in higher education accredited or recognized in Hungary. There are a few exceptions where practical examinations or aptitude tests are also required. Study programmes in the fields of music and arts require applicants to demonstrate their particular artistic abilities. If you wish to obtain a PhD degree in Hungary, the basic requirement is to hold a university degree which is equivalent to an MA/MSc degree.
Do I need a visa? A) Students from the European Union and the European Economic Area
4
B) Foreign students from outside the European Union Foreign students from outside the European Union, and students who are not citizens of countries listed in the 539/2001/EC council regulation Annex II. are required to apply for a visa. The application may be submitted at the Hungarian diplomatic mission or consular post in the country of your permanent or habitual residence. If there is no such mission there, you can turn to any other Hungarian diplomatic mission or consular post. The process of issuing the visa may take one month.

Students from the European Union, the European Economic Area and students who are citizens of countries listed in the 539/2001/EC council regulation Annex II. may travel to Hungary without a visa. They may apply directly for the residence permit upon arrival to Hungary if their expected stay exceeds the period of 90 days.

In practice, you will need at least 100,000 HUF (320 EUR; 530 USD) per month in order to cover the costs of decent accommodation (about 50,000-60,000 HUF + utilities (190-230 EUR; 280330 USD)), pay for public transport (one month in Budapest: 3,850 HUF (14 EUR; 21 USD)), and even go out occasionally. This amount should cover the costs of rent, food, clothing, personal hygiene, local transport, study materials, health insurance, telephone and other expenses – but not the tuition fee. There are small regional differences in the cost of living: Budapest is more expensive than other Hungarian cities.
How do I find accommodation? You have several options to choose from when looking for public or private accommodation in Hungarian cities. You may stay in the student residence of the university you are attending, rent a room, share a flat, or rent a whole flat on your own. Since the rent may take up more than the half of your budget, your other financial options will depend greatly on your choice of accommodation. Note, however, that student residence places – meaning usually twin and more rarely single bedrooms – are limited in number. Information on private places for rent can be found in the classified adverts in newspapers, on the Internet or on the notice boards of the university. In many institutions, the offices of international or foreign student affairs, or the centre for student services will help you find a convenient place to stay. Renting rooms and sharing flats is naturally cheaper.

Do I require health insurance? Residents of EEA (European Economic Area) countries and Switzerland, who are entitled to health care of the national health service of their respective countries of residence, can receive health care free of charge in Hungary on the basis of the European Health Insurance Card. Residents of countries which have signed bilateral agreements with Hungary are also entitled to receive health care free of charge in urgent cases. Participants of international student exchange programmes and scholarship holders in Hungary are entitled to free medical care as well. Residents of third countries have to pay full price for the health care services in Hungary. Foreign residents studying in Hungary may obtain health insurance by signing agreement with National Health Insurance Fund (OEP) and paying 30% of the local minimum wage per month (23,400 HUF; approx. 90 EUR, 130 USD).

Short Introduction, International relations King Sigismund College – or ZSKF in Hungarian – was established in 2000 as a response to the increased demand for quality higher education and training created by European integration and national modernization; also as a response to a governmental proposal based on labour market research. ZSKF constructed its degree programmes based on the European Union-supported concept of “lifelong learning” and along four academic pillars (humanities, economics, information technology, social sciences). Degrees are available in 11 Bachelor’s programmes and 6 Master’s programmes, all of which are based on constant observation of the rapidly-changing needs of the labour market. We utilize both innovative and traditional methods our programmes. Over the past few years ZSKF has tripled its number of international partnerships with cooperating higher education institutions. As a result our students can utilize the ERASMUS programme to study in (primarily) other European countries for one or two semesters. We also have partner institutions in the Ukraine, Russia and Vietnam. We organize competence-based training for our students through our Career and Alumni Centre. Trainers and presenters from the private sector prepare students in the areas of communications, conflict management and personal development to better equip our students to face the challenges they may encounter in the labour market.

Short Introduction and International Relations Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design Budapest (MOME) is one of the most significant European institutions of visual culture, thanks to its traditions and intellectual background.

The Liszt Academy is seeking to train performing artists and teachers who will be in possession of values rooted in universal and national culture, with music as its integral part. Having received an exceptionally demanding training, students of the Academy will graduate from the institution as masters of their profession, well equipped to start their musical career as performing artists (classical, church, jazz and folk music), conductors, composers, musicologists, music theoreticians and music teachers. While fostering their artistic development the Liszt Academy offers future music teachers courses in pedagogy, psychology and methodology. All this is set in a wider context of general courses including the opportunity to learn foreign languages. Thus is it ensured that graduates will be well equipped to shape the emotional and artistic development of future generations.

HUFA currently has over 40 partner institutions with over 40 students travelling abroad on exchange and a nearly equal number of incoming international students. We also have a very active teaching and staff mobility programme within the ERASMUS framework. In addition, we also have a number of institutions with whom the university maintains a non-ERASMUS partnership (eg. Repin State Academy Institute of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg). Each year, various exhibitions and events take place as a result of international cooperation. At present, HUFA has no degree programme in English, as all theoretical courses, which comprise an integral component of the study program, are taught in Hungarian. Exchange and guest students can, however, take practical courses (such as Painting Studio Work, for example) with consultation in English. While exchange students are not required to pay tuition, the cost of practical training at HUFA for guest students is HUF 240,000 per semester.
