Scholarships and Study Costs in Hungary for Bangladeshi Students

Planning your budget is a key step before applying. Use this guide to estimate tuition fees, living expenses, and the main scholarships available to Bangladeshi students. Amounts are indicative and vary by university, program, and city—always confirm current figures with official sources.

Scholarship options Stipendium Hungaricum (SH)

Covers: full tuition waiver, monthly stipend, accommodation contribution (dorm place or allowance), and medical insurance (as defined each year).

Levels: bachelor’s, master’s, one‑tier master’s (e.g., medicine), doctoral, and some non‑degree programs.

How to apply: submit on the official portal and through the sending partner in Bangladesh; you can usually select up to two programs.

Timeline: call opens late autumn, deadline around January, results in spring/summer for September intake.

University merit and tuition‑discount awards

Many universities (ELTE, BME, Debrecen, Pécs, Szeged, Corvinus, etc.) offer entrance scholarships or 10–50% tuition reductions.

Some awards are given at admission; others depend on GPA after the first semester.

Strengthen your CV, motivation letter, and references to maximize eligibility.

Erasmus+ opportunities

Credit Mobility: study one semester in the EU from a Hungarian university with a stipend (selection is internal).

Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters: apply to joint programs that may include a Hungarian partner; scholarships usually cover tuition and offer a monthly allowance.

Bilateral and external funding

State/Tempus bilateral schemes and foundation grants may be available depending on the year.

Check faculty pages for departmental awards and assistantships (especially MSc/PhD).

Part‑time work (to supplement costs)

Student permits typically allow limited part‑time work during semesters and more hours during breaks; follow the current rules on your permit.

Basic Hungarian helps with local roles; English‑speaking jobs are more common in IT, tutoring, and services in major cities.

As a planning guide, many students prepare 6,000–8,400 EUR for one academic year of living, in addition to tuition. Follow the exact amounts requested by your university and the authorities.
