Hungarian in Budapest

06. - 19.07. 2025

for all UNI or UAS students in Austria

Summer colleges offer you the opportunity to learn languages during the summer holidays and at the same time enjoy the summer to the full. This works particularly well if you can experience the people and culture of the host country up close. While you learn Hungarian, Hungarian students learn German (tandem principle).

Organisation:
University of Applied Sciences Burgenland GmbH, Eisenstadt and Eötvös Lorand University (ELTE), Budapest - with the kind support of the Aktion Österreich-Ungarn.

If you are enrolled at an Austrian university or university of applied sciences in the academic year 2024/25, you can apply.

  • No matter what you are studying.
  • Previous knowledge of the foreign language is required. Applicants without previous knowledge may be considered for remaining places.

Due to the fact that the summer school is financed by public funds, applications from ALL Austrian universities and universities of applied sciences are expressly welcome.
