Hungary lies at a latitude of between 45 and 49 degrees, roughly the same latitude as the Loire Valley in France and the Austrian Alps. The capital city, Budapest, is on the same latitude as Seattle, Innsbruck, Basel in Switzerland, and Dijon in France. Hungary was one of the 15 most popular tourist destinations in the world in the past decade. Despite its relatively small size, the country is home to numerous World Heritage Sites, UNESCO Biosphere reserves, the second largest thermal lake in the world (Lake Hévíz), the largest lake in Central Europe (Lake Balaton), and the largest natural grassland in Europe (Hortobágy).

6 VISA FREE ENTRY VISA PRIMARY RULES FOR THE ISSUE OF SCHEN- GEN VISA Where to submit the visa applications? Schengen visa applications have to be submitted at the representation of the country which is the main destination of the visit. According to the Schengen regulations applicants whose main destination is Hungary can submit their visa applications at the Hungarian representation. Who can submit a visa application? The general rule is that the foreign representation has the competence to process the applications of the following persons: - Nationals of the receiving country - Persons staying in the receiving country legitimately and continuously - Persons with no Hungarian foreign representation in their country. The persons listed above can submit a visa application in the following ways: - The client can submit personally his own or his family member s visa application - In case of organized tourist trips, an accredited travel agency may submit the visa application - In case of group travel, the application may be submitted by a representative sufficiently authorized. ATTENTION! 1. The authorization is only valid for submitting the application and for collecting the visa issued, however the application form has to be signed by each individual personally. 2. In countries with vast territory or where there is no Hungarian foreign representation competent to issue visas or where Hungary is not represented by an other Schengen Member Stat, the honorary consuls are also entitled to receive visa applications with the purpose of transferring them. 3. The consulate may receive visa applications at the earliest 3 months before the beginning of the visit. Citizens of EU- and EEA-member states so as citizens of the following states :Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Croatia, Guatemala, Holy See, Honduras, Hong Kong (the exemption applies only to holders of a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region ), Iceland, Israel, Japan, Macao (the exemption applies only to holders of a Regio Administrativa Especial de Macau passport), Malaysia, Mexico, Monaco, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Salvador, San Marino, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland, United States of America, Uruguay, Venezuela may travel to Hungary without a visa. Family members of citizens of EEA Member States may also travel to Hungary without a visa if they received a residence card issued for family members of EEA citizens or a residence permit issued by any Schengen Member State. From 21 December states, 22 of the 27 member states of the European Union (Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden) as well as Norway and Iceland are part of the Schengen Area. Whereas several members of the European Union, i.e. Bulgaria, Cyprus, Ireland, Romania and the United Kingdom still do not participate in the Schengen cooperation. ENTRY CONDITIONS FOR FOREIGNERS UNDER VISA OBLIGATION The Schengen visa and entry regulations are only applicable for a stay not exceeding 90 days. Rules for a long stay over 90 days may be laid down by the national law of the concerned member states. The rules of Schengen visa issuing at the diplomatic posts of the various states are generally identical, visa fees are uniform. It is important to note that a visa is only a preliminary permission for entry, which does not authorize its bearer automatically to enter the country. The traveler may be requested to provide proof of the existence of the conditions of his entry and stay in Hungary and if he is not able to fulfill this, he may be returned from the border. Exceptions from the general visa procedure may be given on the basis of visa facilitation agreements. The European Union has entered into such an agreement with Russia and as from 1 January 2008 similar agreements are expected to enter into force with Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Serbia and the Ukraine. Significant changes subsequent to Hungary s Schengen-membership - visas and residence permits issued by one of the Schengen States are valid also for Hungary, on the other hand - visas issued by Hungarian representations abroad and residence permits issued by Hungarian national authorities are also valid for the entire Schengen Area. 6

8 Higher Education Institutions in Hungary 8

9 STUDY IN HUNGARY Hungary is famous in Europe for the quality of education and there are many foreign students who come to the country to study, pick up new skills or improve their language proficiency. The educational system in Hungary is multilevel, and there are more and more opportunities to study. During the past decades, it has become a convenient choice for international students to pursue their studies in Hungary. Every year nearly 10,000 foreign students reside in the country participating in study programs offered in foreign languages. According to a recent survey carried out by the Academic Cooperation Association (ACA), in terms of study programs provided in English, Hungary is the sixth most popular destination in Europe. The Bachelor, Master, and doctoral degrees granted by Hungarian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) can easily get recognized in all EU member states as well as vice versa. In the case of such professions as architecture, medical and veterinary sciences the mutual recognition of degrees for professional purposes is automatic. While the large variety of Hungarian study programs offered in various languages in Hungary ensure the same standards as those in Western- European countries, tuition fees and costs of living are considerably lower in Hungary 9

10 TYPES OF DEGREES Bachelor s degree (BSc/BA), Master s degree (MSc/MA), and PhD The first cycle within the higher education system comprises 6 to 8 semesters ( credits). At the end of this cycle, which offers a bachelor s degree, one can obtain professional skills that can prove useful in the labor market after graduation. At the same time, the qualification equips graduates with an adequate academic foundation (and entitles them) to continue their studies in the master s cycle to obtain a master s degree. As part of the bachelor s programs, which have several practical components, an uninterrupted, one-semester professional practice must be organized. Master courses last for 2 to 4 semesters ( credits), except for teacher training, which lasts 5 semesters (150 credits) and may lead either to the labor market or a PhD training. The admission requirements of the master courses (e.g. from which bachelor programs and with what conditions students are to be admitted) are specified by the institutions of higher education. PhD courses consist of 6 semesters (180 credits). Students may be admitted to PhD training only after having accomplished a master s course. As opposed to the 413 study programs, 133 bachelor programs are launched in the first cycle. Intensive efforts are currently being made to design the new master programs. There are a lot more programs offered - one of the greatest advantages of the multi-cycle system is that at master level students may continue their studies in tracks different from the program they completed at the bachelor level. ACCREDITATION The Hungarian higher education system consists of 68 higher education institutes including state universities and colleges, church universities and colleges, as well as private institutions accredited by the Hungarian Accreditation Committee (HAC). The HAC, established in 1993 and being an independent agency and member of the International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education (INQAAHE), is responsible for accrediting and evaluating the quality of teaching and research carried out in the higher education institutes. Quality assurance is based on a periodically repeated assessment of the curricula, the requirements, and the qualification of the academic staff in each study programs of the institutions. There are further institutions having other accreditation than that of HAC, in these cases, it is advisable to consult the content of the given accreditation. 10
