Why German University Cities Appeal to Hungarian Students
The influx of approximately 2,500 Hungarian students in Germany can be attributed to several factors. German universities offer excellent education, often with low or no tuition fees, a significant draw for students from countries like Hungary, where resources may be more limited.
Furthermore, the cultural similarities and geographical proximity make Germany a comfortable choice for Hungarian students. Additionally, the increasing number of programs offered in English lowers the language barrier. Another boosting factor is Germany's robust job market, especially in fields like engineering, IT, and business, which is attractive for students looking to kickstart their careers post-graduation.
