Hungarian higher education entrance points announced yesterday
Change language:
Finally, the long-awaited moment has come: the Hungarian higher education application entrance points were announced yesterday evening. As Index.hu reports, it was harder for future doctors to reach the points as each of the departments’ points were raised, while at some faculties the maximum 500 points were needed.
Approximately 108,000 students applied for higher education institutions, but only 75,000 were happy when the announcement of the points was made. In the case of most of the faculties, the limit of points that were needed out of the maximum 500 decreased compared to last year. It will not be easy for students to find the perfect and cheap flats in the centre of the city, as we have written about the curren t situation recently.
Points were raised at all 4 medical universities, as well as other faculties, such as Psychology and IT.
High school students and young adults could apply to several universities at the same time, but they can only start a higher education program at one of them: the most prioritised on the applicants’ list. The required number of points depends on the popularity of the faculty (and university), and the average points of the applicants. Therefore, increased points mean an increased amount of applicants with possibly higher points. The number of scholarships can also be a factor in how the entrance points were calculated.
By instance, only 1-2 students are accepted to start the German language and culture – Latin language and culture program pair for future teachers, where the maximum 500 points were needed.
