  3. With your newly acquired Decision of Admission, Certificate of Payment and other related documents specified by the Hungarian authorities you may apply for your D-type study visa to Hungary at the nearest Hungarian consulate or embassy.

The tuition fee for one semester is 2500 EUR for the September 2023 intake. However, after admission, you have to pay for the first two semesters in one sum (5000 EUR) because it is the requirement of the Hungarian Immigration Office. From the second year, you pay for one semester at a time, and you can pay in three instalments. If your visa is rejected and you cannot start your studies, we refund the whole amount of the tuition fee you paid.

Documents issued by the university and required by the embassy:

  • Letter of acceptance
  • Certificate of payment

Health insurance
The University of Szeged offers health insurance, called Generali Studium, for all admitted students. Health insurance is not included in the tuition fee but can be purchased at the Student Service Office after the official registration is finished. Generali Studium is designed specifically for international students and it covers the costs of general medical services in Hungary. Students are responsible for acquiring their own health insurance for their visa application.

Proof of accommodation document
Unfortunately our university cannot offer dormitory placement for tuition fee payer international students but we provide assistance in finding a room to rent. Szeged is a university town, there are plenty of options

You can find information about the cost of living at the SZTE website, in the Prospective students section.
