The Hungarian Government has initiated a pilot program with the objective of offering opportunities to international students who are currently not enrolled in Hungary to pursue their higher education studies in Hungary, including at the University of Debrecen.

​

The program's mission is to increase the number of international students in international degree programs related to natural sciences, medical and health sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Moreover, the aim is to amplify the involvement of international students in professional internship programs, to facilitate their integration into the Hungarian labor market and to enrich the pool of qualified international students in Hungary.

 

The program provides:

 

1. Tuition fee discount

• The tuition fee discount may vary by study program.

  • For the Medicine and Dentistry programs, the tuition fee discount is maximum 30% of the full annual tuition fee.

  • For all other programs, the tuition fee discount is maximum 90% of the full annual tuition fee.

• The extent of the discount depends on the academic background and the entrance examination performance of the applicant.

 

2. Medical insurance
