Hungary is a landlocked country in central Europe whose capital, Budapest, is bisected by the Danube River. Hungary is slightly bigger than its western neighbour Austria and has about 10 million inhabitants. Other countries that border Hungary are Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia. It has been a member of the European Union since 2004. Hungary is one of the 15 most popular tourist destinations in the world, so you'll have plenty to do and see whilst based there.

Important considerations

  • Only students without resits can complete a year abroad in Hungary - as term starts early September.

The Residence Permit must be picked up within 30 days from the time of entry to Hungary.
  • You will need to purchase health insurance cover while studying in Hungary. You will receive further information from your host on acceptance.
