TEACHING LANGUAGE
English-Taught vs. Hungarian-Taught Programmes
Teaching language is one of the first things to check when comparing programmes, and it is one of the key filters Mobedum uses when matching students to suitable options.
English-Taught Programmes
Many bachelor’s and master’s programmes — including in business, engineering, IT, and medicine — are delivered fully in English, so no Hungarian language skills are required to study them.
Hungarian-Taught Programmes
Some public university programmes, and certain state-funded seats, are taught in Hungarian and generally require a recognised level of Hungarian language proficiency, sometimes gained through a preparatory year.
PROGRAM MATCHING
How Program Matching Works
Rather than pointing you toward a generic list of universities, Mobedum looks at your academic background, career goals, budget, and language preference to recommend programmes that are realistically suited to you. We support your application and help you compare options — admission decisions are made exclusively by the university, and no admission or visa outcome can be guaranteed.
