Tuition and Scholarships
Living costs in Hungary are relatively cheap and affordable in Hungary, with students likely to need about US$600-850 per month to cover everything from accommodation to nights out (~US$7,200-10,200 per year). Living costs will be more expensive in Budapest, where rent will start from about US$340 per month. You can get a rough idea of how your costs of living works out based on your accommodation, transport and city preferences here.
While tuition fees are not as low and cheap, but they are much lower than fees charged in developed countries such as the US or UK. These fees vary between universities and courses, with some programs as low as US$5,500 per year at the University of Debrecen, and going up to US$14,000 annually to study an English-taught medical degree (not excluding US$500 in application and entrance fees).
Note that some scholarships for international students are available courtesy of the Hungarian government, covering tuition fees, medical insurance, accommodation and a monthly stipend for residents of partner countries to study in Hungary at all levels. Students who hail from the EU may also be eligible to apply for a state-funded place, under the same system as local students. These awards are presented based on academic grades, but are quite competitive, with the number of places available having been cut over the past few years. Students from Eastern Europe can equally apply for scholarships from the Visegrad Fund.
