If you are if Hungarian descent , I would encourage applying for scholarships.
If you are from Middle East , got to Dubai, they have plenty of money!
I suggest encouraging Hungarian generations to apply from around the world.
Merely asking for a scholarship, without regard to the country, culture and interests does not make a good candidate for study in Hungarian universities!
I love Hungarian language. I would like to study in Hungary maximum one year. I can support myself school and accommodation. What school you can suggest me?
Dear Cesar, here is the list of the best Hungarian universities: https://dailynewshungary.com/what-is-the-best-university-in-hungary-new-ranking-shows/
I would think that anyone of intelligence capable of doing a university study, especially in a country in which one does not know the culture or language, should be able to google the info on scholarships. But since scholarships don’t cover full costs a person should have an idea of what they can offer the university and the community as a way to partake in employment. For instance, in my province we have huge numbers of Chinese students studying business, medicine, politics……they often start businesses of their own here. So a huge benefit to our hosting community. A relationship of give-take. Such a wonderful opportunity for adults ready to change the path of their lives. Good luck to all those who have indicated interest in studying in Hungary.
