  • EU citizens may also compete for state-subsidised places through Felvi, but those are registered as Hungarian-language; the English route is self-financed, at the fee shown, applied for directly.
  • Online entrance exams are not available to applicants living in Europe (2026 rule), so expect to audition in Budapest from June to early July.
