Hungary is a nation with a national economy that is prosperous and rapidly growing. Significant progress has been made over the past 50 years and the country has moved from reliance on the agricultural sector to an emphasis on manufacturing and other segments.

With the first university in Hungary being founded over 600 years ago, Hungarian higher education also has a considerable history. In Hungary, there is also a major shift in the higher education sector.

There are now several internationally renowned universities in Hungary that offer a wide range of English programs, such as medicine, dentistry, engineering, business, art and design, and others. As these universities, combined with fair living expenses in Hungary, have considerably lower tuition fees compared to other European Union and North American universities, foreign students are naturally eager to get admission here.
