Hungary's universities — from Wikidata, not the Educational Authority.
Hungary's higher-education institutions are universities (egyetem) and colleges (főiskola), run by the state or maintained by foundations, churches or private bodies. This directory lists the 37 universities Wikidata records, by county and Budapest.
Not an official list
This list comes from Wikidata, a community-maintained database (retrieved 2026-11-13) — not from the country's regulator. It may include institutions that have closed, merged or been renamed, or that have lost or never had official recognition, and it may miss others. We leave out entries Wikidata marks as dissolved or closed, but that filter is only as up to date as Wikidata. Only institutions whose name calls them a university are listed, so recognised colleges and degree-awarding institutes are missing. Being listed here is not proof of accreditation.
Before you apply, check with the Hungarian Accreditation Committee (MAB). (Links checked on 13 November 2026.)

What isn't here, and why
Hungary's Educational Authority (Oktatási Hivatal) keeps the register of higher-education institutions, but its website did not answer from here and its admission datasets are licensed for non-commercial use only, so this page is built from Wikidata.
This list is from Wikidata, a community-maintained source — retrieved 2026-11-13. A university missing here is a gap in that source, not a judgement about the university, and being listed here is not proof of accreditation: check with the national regulator. Public or private status is shown only where Wikidata records it (6 of 37).
