Study budget
The cost of studying and living in Hungary
The budget depends on the university, programme, city and housing. It should cover the full route — not just tuition, but fees, documents, relocation, living costs and a reserve for the first months.
One-off costs
- university application fees
- translations, certification and apostille where required
- visa and residence formalities
- travel, housing deposit and initial setup
Ongoing costs
- tuition
- dormitory or rent
- food, transport, communications and healthcare
- study materials and personal spending
How to budget realistically
Build a separate budget for each university and add a reserve. Recheck every amount before payment.
