Application to a Hungarian university

Are you from across the border?

Are you from Austria, Croatia, Serbia or Slovenia? Then, you can apply for a university course the same way as Hungarian students can. Please, read the information carefully about the application process. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to write to international@pen.uni-pannon.hu

1st step: Register in ’Ügyfélkapu’ that is the Citizen Portal

– Personally


In Hungary, you can register in ’Ügyfélkapu’ in one of the government offices.

Abroad, you can register at an embassy or a consulate.

Necessary documents:

For hungarian citizens:Identity Card, Driving licence, passport
EGT citizens:EGT Identity Card or passport

https://ugyfelkapu.gov.hu/regisztracio

With a photo identification: this can be used by citizens subject to the personal data and address registers who have a valid Hungarian document suitable for proving their identity.
2nd step: Check how points are calculated

In case of applicants who have a foreign secondary school certificate, study points can only be counted if they have results in the last two years of studying a given subject:

– Hungarian Grammar and Literature (can be substituted with Grammar and Literature of the language of the given country or the language of instruction),

– Mathematics,

– History,

– a chosen foreign language,

– at least one subject defined by the higher education institution.


Final exam points can only be counted if

– the certificate may be identified as a document verifying secondary studies,

– and if the applicant has at least two acceptable secondary school leaving examination subjects that match the name and level of the secondary school leaving examination subjects defined by the higher education institution.


You can check here how points are calculated.

Always the most favourable calculation method is applied automatically by the System if all data and documents are uploaded.

Study points (max. 200 points): The sum of the end-of-year grades of the two last years of study in five high school subjects multiplied by two = max. 100 points + the average of the percentage of the results of the five final exam subjects (four compulsory and one elective) included in the secondary school leaving certificate = max. 100 points

The five subjects (in case of the secondary subjects abd the final exam subjects, as well): Hungarian language and grammar, History, Mathematics, Foreign language, one of the subjects defined by the higher education institution per field of study.

Final exam points (max. 200 points): The point is calculated from the percentage of the results of the two final exam subjects defined by the higher education institution as admission requirements. In the case of an advanced final exam, the final exam point is equal to the result of the exam converted in accordance with the Hungarian evaluation system, and in the case of intermediate level, it is two-thirds. Check if the higher education institution requires intermediate or advanced final exam for the course of your choice.

Institutional points (max. 100 points): The type, extent and conditions of the institutional points are determined individually by the higher education institutions. On the pages of the courses advertised at felvi.hu, you can see why and how many institutional points can be awarded at the given course, as well as what data or documents can be used to verify them. For example: you can get extra points for advanced final exams, competitions, language knowledge, equal opportunities, work experience, sports results, participation at Open Days. You can get more information about these extra points from the institutions.

You can see an example of how exam points are converted to admission points.
