Pécs, in southern Hungary, is known for the University of Pécs, founded in 1367 as the country's first university, its UNESCO-listed early Christian burial chambers and the Ottoman-era Mosque of Pasha Qasim. With a calm, almost Mediterranean feel, it offers students a warm setting.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language study options in Pécs. The University of Pécs's Hungarian courses and English and medical preparation programs are among the options.
In Pécs you can book courses of as little as one week. On an intensive program, one language level usually takes 6-8 weeks. A complete beginner typically needs 6-12 months to reach the B2-C1 level required for university.
The biggest factor in the price is the length of your booking: the weekly fee drops noticeably for bookings of 12 weeks or more. Winter is usually cheaper than the summer months. NGGlobal students can take advantage of the schools' seasonal discounts and offers.
At most language schools courses start every Monday, though complete beginner courses may have set start dates. For long programs that require a visa, we recommend applying at least 3 months ahead. Summer is the busiest period.
For study longer than 90 days, you apply to Hungary's mission in Turkey for a residence permit for study. It is usually granted to students on university and preparatory programs, and the application requires an acceptance letter, accommodation, health insurance and proof of funds.
Working in breach of visa rules can lead to serious penalties, so always follow the official rules. NGGlobal helps you plan your budget for the course and living costs.
Students in Pécs usually stay in university dormitories or shared flats, with rents much lower than in Western Europe.

Pécs lies in one of Hungary's sunniest regions, with long, hot summers and short, cool winters.
Direct flights from Istanbul to Budapest Ferenc Liszt Airport (BUD) take about 2 hours; trains or buses from Budapest to Pécs take about 3 hours.
Because Hungary uses daylight saving time, the time difference changes with the season: from late March to late October Pécs is 1 hour behind Turkey, and in winter it is 2 hours behind.
