Universities in Hungary (2027): Fees, Deadlines, Requirements

Hungary is one of the few places in Europe where a foreign student can read medicine, dentistry or pharmacy in English at a state university, and the degrees are recognised across the European Union. There is no national tuition rate: at the University of Debrecen the 2026/27 range runs from USD 5,500 a year to USD 17,500 for dentistry. Admission is by the university's own entrance examination rather than a central system, and the Hungarian government's Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship covers tuition in full for nominated applicants.
