.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.
