Before choosing a program, think it over twice if it is the right profession for you. Starting a university program in a different language than your mother tongue in a new environment is a real challenge. Of course, it is rewarding also. After a while you will become much more independent. You will feel your self-confidence growing and you will meet a lot of new people from different cultures.
Start planning well in advance. You should decide what is more suitable for you, studying in a busy metropolis with many temptations, or choosing a more peaceful university town, where groups are smaller and life is more relaxed. Please, check all the admission criteria, and if you think that your knowledge of English or any of the examination subjects is not sufficient, you should choose a preparatory year. All the degrees provided by the state universities in Budapest, Szeged and Pécs are accredited by the Hungarian Accreditation Board.
Hungary joined the European Union on May 1, 2004. As a full member of the EU, the country enjoys equal status to the other member states. It means among others that the degrees granted by the Hungarian universities are automatically recognized in all EU-countries. The EU directives list a few professions with common educational criteria. These are medicine, veterinary medicine, pharmacy and dentistry. Such professional qualifications must be recognized without any licensing examinations. (Certain language skills can be required, though.) The EU-recognition applies only to the nationals of the member states.
The preparatory courses provide a smooth adaptation year for all the newcomers. Our teachers care about teaching and they care about you. You will meet international students from different cultures in small-size groups. You will get adapted to an independent way of life and you will learn how to prepare yourself to oral and written exams. The preparatory course is also a social experience. Social events, trips to the countryside, lectures about Hungarian culture will make this year an unforgettable experience before your university studies.

Hungary is situated in Central Europe, sharing borders with the Slovak Republic, Ukraine, Romania, Croatia, Serbia, Austria and Slovenia. There are several ranges of hills, mainly in the north and west.
The capital city of Budapest, located on one of the most beautiful areas of the Danube, is made up of 2 parts – Buda and Pest.
Buda is the older, more graceful, part with cobbled streets and medieval buildings and Pest is the commercial centre.
Budapest is a lively city that has long been a haven for writers, musicians and artists. The Historical Museum of Budapest contains archaeological remains of the old city, and furnishings, glass and ceramics from the 15th century. On the Pest side is the Parliament and the Hungarian National Museum, containing remarkable treasures including the oldest skull yet found in Europe. (From the Travel Puppy website)
