Key Summary
Introduction
The language of instruction is Hungarian with English as an intermediary language.
Preparatory Courses:
1) The Milestone Stage
is designed for beginner language learners. If your Hungarian proficiency is below low-intermediate (B1) level, you need to substantially develop your listening, reading, writing and speaking skills.

Preparatory students having reached and applicants being already at intermediate level can continue their studies in the Upgrade Stage.

Thus students improve their language skills while becoming knowledgeable in their future field of degree studies.
