Higher Education System in Hungary corresponds to the training system known as the Bologna Process. In 1999, in the University of Bologna in Italy, 29 European countries signed a declaration, which aimed to simplify and standardize higher education in Europe. Below you can read about the most important aspects of the Bologna training system.

Three-level education

In Hungary, according to Bologna system, students can earn the following degree types:

1.     Bachelor’s degree (180-240 credit points), lasting 3-4 years on average

2.     Master’s degree (60-120 credit points), lasting 1-2 years on average

3.     PhD (Doctorate) degree, lasting 2-5 years

Credit System

European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System or ECTS is a grading system recognized in the framework of Bologna Process. 60 credits are equivalent to a full academic year or 1500-1800 hours of study. Each course in the curriculum is worth a particular number of credits. 
 
Courses

In Hungary, students attend seminars and lectures. Lectures are usually theoretical courses for bigger audience, while seminars are practice-oriented classes held in a smaller group of students. At the end of each semester, studentshave to pass written or oral exams. 

Grading System

Grade 5 – excellent
Grade 4 – good
Grade 3 – average
Grade 2 – pass
Grade 1 – fail

Each academic year consists of two 14-week long semesters followed by a 6 week examination period each. Fall semester starts at the beginning of September. Spring semester usually starts at the beginning of February.
