This video will walk you through the application process to the University of Miskolc in Hungary, one of Central Europe’s hidden gems for international students!
Submitting your application is simple and fully online! Just click the “Apply Now” button to get started.
No, it’s not because we’re trying to meet your whole family! In Hungary, your mother’s name is an official part of your identity and helps with things like residence permits, bank accounts, and other official processes.
If you’re eligible, you’ll take a short online oral exam where we test your motivation and English skills. Think of it as a friendly quiz to show off what you know. Don’t worry, all the tips and requirements are on the programme’s website, so you won’t be flying blind!
Absolutely! No need to panic, if you studied in English at high school or university, just show us an official Medium of Instruction. UM happily accepts this, along with IELTS, TOEFL, or any equivalent certificate.
First, pay your tuition to get your Final Letter of Acceptance, your golden ticket to Hungary! Then grab your Hungarian VISA and come to UM for registration week, and let your international mentor help you settle in and explore the campus.
The full-time Materials Engineering MSc is an English-taught double degree programme jointly offered by the University of Miskolc (Hungary) and Montanuniversität Leoben (Austria).
The programme lasts two years: students complete the first year at the University of Miskolc, followed by the second year at Montanuniversität Leoben, based on a jointly approved curriculum.
The programme starts in September. Students who successfully complete the first year in Miskolc may automatically continue their second year at Montanuniversität Leoben.
During the programme, students are enrolled at both universities. Tuition fees are paid only at the host institution of the given semester, while registration fees apply at both institutions.
After successful completion, graduates receive two Master of Science (MSc) degrees, one from each university.
Hungarian applicants apply via the Felvi.hu website by selecting the programme at the University of Miskolc, while international applicants apply through the DreamApply online platform and take part in an admission interview approximately two weeks after application. The faculty provides further information and support during the admission process.
After you submit your application, your documents are checked, to ensure you meet the eligibility criteria. Applications from candidates without the necessary qualifications (BSc degree), language certifications (B2 or higher), or proof of studies conducted in English are rejected. Applications not supported by the sending country are also rejected at this stage.
The faculty coordinator arranges a 15-20-minute Skype-interview for you with the Entrance Examination Committee. During this interview you will be asked to introduce yourself, discuss your BSc thesis briefly, share your scientific background, future goals, and explain why you want to study in Hungary. You can score a maximum of 100 points, but you need at least 65 points to be admitted.
The online entrance exam lasts 20-30 minutes and includes pre-set questions to assess the applicant’s management knowledge, professional skills, thesis or project work, and language proficiency. Applicants can score up to 70 points: for professional background 50 points, spoken language skills 20 points.
The Entrance Examination Board includes programme leads from both Universities. Applicants can score a maximum of 100 points (30 points for document assessment and 70 points from the online entrance exam). Those who score at least 60 points will be admitted to the programme. Those who score less than 60 points will be rejected.
With an MSc degree in Materials Engineering, you can work in various high-demand roles all over the world, such as factory or plant engineering, chemical engineering, or as a self-employed engineer. Graduates with a polymer specialisation can focus on developing and recycling polymers, while those with a chemical technology specialization can work in chemical compound development, environmental protection, and waste material recycling.
