Higher education vocational training
This is the „entry level” of higher education today, providing an advanced vocational qualification. If you continue your studies in a specialised field after completing this, a certain proportion of your credits earned will be recognised on the bachelor's degree course. The minimum point threshold is lower (230), and you may also receive bonus points in the admission process if you choose to pursue a bachelor's degree later. This form of study lasts for 4 semesters, and the qualification earned here is not yet a diploma.
Bachelor's degree
For those who have a school-leaving certificate and wish to obtain a degree, the first step on this path is completing a 6-8 semester bachelor's degree. The bachelor's degree is the entry requirement for continuing studies at master's level.
Master's degree (MA, MSc)
To be admitted to a Master's degree programme, individuals must possess at least a Bachelor's degree – or a college/university degree from the previous education system. The precise admission requirements are determined by the higher education institutions themselves. The programmes typically last 2-4 semesters.
Undivided training
To complete some degrees (e.g. teaching degrees), you need to apply for an undivided course after your A-levels (érettségi). This means you can complete the course undivided over 10-12 semesters, and at the end, you will receive a master's degree.
Doctoral training (PhD)
Those planning a research-oriented or theoretical career can apply for doctoral training (PhD) aimed at obtaining a scientific degree after completing their Master's degree programme. Doctoral students conduct research work under the guidance of their supervisor.
Daytime education
A training that must be organised within a five-day teaching week, on working days. This is closest to the timetable one is used to in secondary school.
Distance learning
For distance learning, students' classes take place in blocks on Fridays and Saturdays (11-13 weeks per semester), or for a full week each month (on weekdays). In the distance learning mode, personal consultations may be accompanied by online activities.
Distance learning
Training based on the interactive relationship between the instructor and the student, and on independent student work, using specific information and communication technology teaching tools and digital learning materials. Compared to distance learning, it requires much less in-person attendance and, accordingly, relies much more on the student's individual preparation.
Dual training
Dual training is a unique form of work organisation where theoretical education takes place at a higher education institution, and practical training occurs concurrently at a partner company. admission to a dual training program is achieved through a company-specific selection process, separate from the central admissions procedure. it is now possible to undertake dual training in both full-time and part-time study modes.
