Are you considering becoming an international student in Hungary? Each year Hungary draws in international students that are interested in studying the sciences, who enjoy exciting nightlife and those that appreciate architecture.

A few of the top universities that international students in Hungary choose to study at include McDaniel College, Semmelweis University, Corvinus University of Budapest, Szent Istvan University, Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), Franz Liszt Academy and Central European University (CEU).

Although Hungary is a smaller country tucked inside of Europe, it still has plenty to keep an international student busy during any free time. There are many locations throughout Hungary where culture and history can be explored such as the Castle District in Budapest and the small town of Esztergom. A few other attractions that international students in Hungary will want to check out between hitting the books and attending classes include the thermal baths, the Great Hungarian Plain, the Elizabeth Bridge, the Caves of Aggtelek and the Budapest Parliament building.

It is a good idea to know ahead of time what you will need before classes start. If you will be an international student in Hungary for longer than 90 days, you more than likely will need to have a Schengen Visa before you arrive in Hungary. If you will be applying for the Schengen visa to become an international student in Hungary, you will need to have proof of Hungary student health insurance that meets the Schengen visa requirements. Also, if you have already decided which school you will be attending, it is important to check with that institution as well to ensure your Hungary student insurance plan will meet any requirements they have in place for international students.
