Studying in Hungary is straightforward for many courses — plenty of programs accept direct admission — but smart students still prepare. Some programs require English proficiency tests, a few master’s or joint programs ask for GMAT/GRE, and medical degrees may have additional entrance requirements. This page gives your students everything they need to pass the checks and get their application accepted — fast.
Exams to focus on:
1. IELTS / TOEFL — English language essentials
- Why: Most English-taught programs expect an internationally recognised proof of English.
- Typical thresholds:
- Bachelor’s: Minimum IELTS 6.0 (or equivalent).
- Master’s: Minimum IELTS 6.5 (or equivalent).
- Some competitive programs or scholarships may ask for 7.0+.
- TOEFL equivalent: Around TOEFL iBT 72–85 for bachelor’s and 85+ for masters (approximate).
- Tip: Universities sometimes accept university-run English tests, proof of prior education in English, or interview evidence — always check the program page.
2. Medical entry (MBBS / Dentistry) — what Indian students should know
- Why it’s different: Medicine is heavily practical and regulated — universities often have specific eligibility rules and clinical-language requirements.
- Common requirements: High school science prerequisites (Biology/Chemistry), official admission letter, and sometimes an internal entrance test or interview in English.
- Licensing note: If you plan to practice in India after studying medicine in Hungary, you’ll need to clear the relevant licensing/exam process in India (check current Medical Council / NMC rules).
- Tip: Ask the university about clinical rotation language and English-language training for hospital placements.
3. GMAT / GRE — for postgraduate, research, and business tracks
- Why: Some specialized MSc programs or MBA/Executive masters use GMAT/GRE to vet quantitative and analytical readiness.
- When required: Highly selective business programs, research-heavy masters, or scholarship applications.
- Tip: If your target program lists “GMAT/GRE preferred,” a strong score boosts applications but absence doesn’t always disqualify you — highlight internships, grades, and recommendations.
How to prioritise your prep
- Check the program page first — confirm exact test & score requirements.
- Decide early — book IELTS/TOEFL at least 6–8 weeks before your final submission.
- Target score buffer — aim 0.5–1.0 band higher than minimums to be safe.
- Practice with real tests — full-length mock tests under timed conditions.
- Document backups — if you have prior education in English, request an official language waiver letter from your board/university.
- Interview prep — many medical and some postgraduate programs include an interview — practise explaining your motivation, study plan, and why Hungary.
