What documents and grades do you need to study in Hungary?

You apply to a Hungarian bachelor through the university’s own online system. You need the high-school diploma and transcript translated into Hungarian or English, a motivation letter, a CV, a passport copy and a language certificate. Many fields add an entrance examination or an online interview, medicine above all. Universities rank applicants on their previous studies and grade point average.

Foundation year

Hungarian universities run a one-year preparatory course for international applicants: language plus the subjects of the chosen field, most often for medicine and engineering. Passing it takes you into the bachelor programme of the same university. The documents are the same as for the degree: attestat, transcript, translations, a passport copy and proof of funds for the residence permit.

With an Uzbek attestat (11 years)

Foundation year

This is the route itself: one preparatory year, then the bachelor programme.
