Days of International Education Budapest: meet international schools and universities in one day!
Budapest will host the Days of International Education Budapest fair again in March 2026, bringing together dozens of international education providers and advisors for anyone considering study opportunities abroad. The event is free to attend, but advance registration is required.
International Education Budapest: Key details for visitors
The Days of International Education Budapest fair will take place on Saturday, 21 March 2026, from 10:00 to 16:00, at the Crowne Plaza Budapest Hotel (1062 Budapest, Váci út 1–3.).
Entry is free, with prior registration via the organiser’s website.
What you can do at the fair
The fair is designed as a practical, face-to-face information day, where students, parents and educators can speak directly with representatives of international institutions and get clear guidance on next steps. According to the organiser, the Budapest event typically features 50+ educational institutions and offers free seminars alongside exhibitor stands.
Visitors can ask questions about:
- Bachelor’s, Master’s and MBA pathways
- School and university foundation/preparatory programmes
- International English and German language schools (including options for adults aged 16+)
- Summer language and sports camps for children aged 7–18
- International exams such as IELTS and Cambridge English, plus exam preparation courses at home and abroad
This format can be especially useful for families trying to compare multiple destinations and providers efficiently, or for students who want to understand entry requirements, timelines, and the realities of living and studying abroad.
Countries and destinations in focus
Organisers say visitors can learn about study options in a wide range of countries, including the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, France, Poland, Latvia, Slovakia, the United States, Canada, Japan and Korea, among others.
That breadth matters because application processes, language requirements, and funding models can differ sharply by destination. Meeting multiple representatives in one place can help applicants spot the best fit—whether they are aiming for a full degree programme, a short-term summer course, or a stepping-stone preparatory year.
Who should attend?
The organiser positions the fair for a broad audience: secondary school pupils planning their next step, university applicants, graduates considering postgraduate study, parents exploring international schooling or camps for their children, and teachers looking for educational programmes or trips.
In practice, the event is likely to be most valuable if you already have a few key questions prepared—such as entry criteria, tuition ranges, scholarship availability, accommodation options, and application deadlines for your preferred start date.
Practical tips before you go
If you are attending Days of International Education Budapest, it is worth bringing:
- A short list of countries and programmes you are interested in
- Your current school year/qualifications (and expected graduation date)
- Questions about language level and exam requirements (IELTS/Cambridge or other national systems)
- A rough idea of budget and whether you will need scholarship or financial support
You can also consider attending the fair’s seminar sessions, which typically cover topics like admissions, studying in Europe and beyond, and international exam preparation.
Organiser and registration
The fair is organised by the Baltic Council for International Education, an international education agency active across the region. Registration for the exhibition can be done on this link.
