Overview

The goal of the English Studies program is the training of experts who, besides a full mastery of the English language, possess an extensive and in-depth knowledge of the language, culture, and history of English-speaking countries. Rather than being mere passive receivers of information, students who complete this MA program will be specialists fully capable of undertaking independent and original investigations in a wide range of topics.

Student Visas for Hungary
Are you from Bangladesh? You might need a student visa...

Don’t worry, everything is ok. We’re on it, and we’re doing all we can to make your search for the right international degree in Hungary a little easier and more enjoyable. Still, while we’re catching up, you can always beat us to it and:

• Check if you really need a student visa.
  Since you’re from Bangladesh and planning full-time academic study in Hungary, yes, you’ll definitely need a student visa — specifically a long-term (D-type) visa for study purposes.

• Start exploring the official Hungarian authorities.
  For Bangladeshi applicants, the Embassy of Hungary in Dhaka handles student visas. That’s where all the latest and most reliable information lives. Bookmark it, read it, reread it.

• Check the deadlines.
  Visa processing can take several weeks — sometimes more than a month. Don’t leave it to the last minute. A small delay might mean missing the start of your semester, and that’s not the plot twist you want.

• Go on a paperwork treasure hunt.
  Passport?
  Letter of Acceptance from your Hungarian university?
  Visa application form, proof of accommodation, financial evidence, health insurance, passport-sized photos, academic certificates, police clearance, maybe even a medical test… yep, the list is long. And yes, you’ll need every single piece.

• Start saving up.
  You’ll need to show that you can financially support yourself while studying in Hungary. That means covering tuition fees, living costs, travel expenses, and visa-related charges. Every forint counts — especially if you’re planning weekend trips around Europe.

• Boost your English or Hungarian skills.
  Many programs in Hungary are taught in English, so if you’ve taken IELTS, TOEFL, or another test, that’s great. Still, it never hurts to keep improving. And hey, picking up a bit of Hungarian can make your new life even more exciting (and a lot easier at the grocery store).

All in all, getting your Hungarian student visa might feel like a lot, but it’s one big step toward an even bigger adventure.

Thanks and good luck!
