The Summer University brings together interested individuals from diverse geographical, cultural, and academic backgrounds for an intensive course on Hungarian language and culture in Budapest. The multicultural and cross-age composition of the courses provides students with a stimulating environment full of inspiring and enriching dialogues.
The professional background of the program is guaranteed by the Department of Hungarian as a Foreign Language, which is the methodological center of teaching Hungarian as a foreign language.
The teaching of Hungarian language and culture for non-Hungarian speakers dates back to the foundation of the Department for Hungarian Language in 1792. Today the Department of Hungarian as a Foreign Language builds upon this far-reaching tradition. The Department utilizing self-developed teaching materials and employing the best professionals of the field offers Hungarian language and culture courses covering all levels from complete beginner (A1) to proficiency levels (C2) described by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
The summer university program is built up of three main blocks:
- Intensive Hungarian language course
- Lectures on Hungarian culture, arts, and history
- Cultural programs / social activities
- Intensive Hungarian Language Course
We offer language courses from beginner to proficiency levels. Each course consists of four language lessons in the morning. There is also an optional lesson and special classes offered to students in the afternoon, which serves intensive language practice and focuses on specific language difficulties of the students
