Semester 1 (400 contact hours)

You will:
  • attend 30 lessons per week in small, communicative groups
  • actively develop your listening, speaking, reading and writing skills
  • progress through the A1 and A2 levels within the first semester
By the end of the first semester, you reach B1 (intermediate) level – the point where Hungarian stops being a mystery and starts becoming a tool.


Semester 2 (400 contact hours)

This is where your Hungarian becomes academic and professional.
Over the next 400 contact hours, you will:
  • refine your communication to B2 (upper-intermediate) level
  • learn academically structured Hungarian
  • start working with terminology from your chosen field
You begin to speak and think in the language of your future profession.

This programme is for you if:
  • you want to become a confident Hungarian language user within one academic year
  • you are ready for an intensive, full-time programme (30 lessons per week)
  • you want not only general Hungarian, but field-specific (Humanities, Medical Terminology, Natural Sciences) academic preparation
