.1 About Hungarian higher education in general
Hungarian higher education has
a long history, dating
back to the 14th century. The country’s first university
was founded in 1367 in Pécs, around the same time as
other central European universities, such as those in
Prague, Krakow and Vienna. Due to the expansion of
higher education in the last two decades, the number of
enrolled students and the capacity of the institutions have
increased considerably. From 1990 to 2010 the student
population in higher education quadrupled, from 90,000
to around 400,000.
2.2 Universities and colleges
Today there are 66 higher education institutions (HEIs) in
Hungary that are recognised and accredited by the state – including state, church and private universities and
colleges. Out of the 66 higher education institutions there
are 19 state universities, nine state colleges, seven non-state
universities and 31 non-state colleges. The list of the
higher education institutions accredited by the Hungarian
Accreditation Committee can be found on the Campus
Hungary portal. All Hungarian universities are located
either in the capital or in traditional university towns,
each of which boasts
a lively international and extremely
vivid, multicultural student life. This makes Hungary
a
magnificent destination for students in higher education.
