Budapest, built on both banks of the Danube, is one of Europe's most striking capitals, with its Parliament, Buda Castle, the Chain Bridge and its thermal baths. With long-established universities such as ELTE, Semmelweis, BME and Corvinus, it is a favourite with international students looking for English-taught study.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language study options in Budapest. Language schools in Budapest and language and preparation programs at institutions such as ELTE, Semmelweis, BME, Corvinus, Budapest Business University, Budapest Metropolitan University and IBS are among the options.
How long you study depends on your goal: 2-4 weeks for a short holiday course, 3-6 months for everyday communication, and usually 9-12 months for a university application. At most schools, courses can be extended week by week.
Fees vary from school to school: university language centres and private language schools can sit in different price ranges. Planning your course, accommodation and airport transfer together lowers the total cost. Ask NGGlobal for a quote with current prices and discounts.
Language schools accept students all year round. For short courses, booking 4-6 weeks ahead is usually enough. For programs requiring a national visa, plan your application 3-4 months ahead to allow for appointment waiting times.
Your visa type depends on the length and type of your program: a Schengen visa for short courses and a residence permit for study for university and preparatory programs. For students coming on the Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship, the process is handled within the scholarship program. Check current conditions in official sources; NGGlobal helps you prepare your documents.
