The prerequisite for application is having a fully accredited bachelor’s degree certificate.(BA or MA diploma). No other special prior qualifications are required. Prospective students are selected based on their talent and competence during the university’s admission procedures.. If you are graduating from your BA programme this academic year you must provide an official transcript of all completed semesters and an official letter from your university confirming the time of issuing your BA degree certificate. Without these documents, we cannot guarantee the acceptance and processing of your application.
If your bachelor’s degree and your official transcripts are issued in English, German or French you will not need a translation. If your degree certificate and the diploma supplements are issued in another language you will need an official certified Hungarian translation of your documents, the latest by April 15th. This is to ensure that your certificate can be validated by the Hungarian National Education Bureau (Hungarian NARIC) for accreditation and equivalency purposes.
Our admission interviews are conducted in a hybrid manner, international applicants are offered an online interview.
Our university must check all foreign BA/MA qualifications with the assistance of the National Educational Bureau’s Equivalency Centre whether the submitted BA/MA degree certificate is equivalent to a Hungarian BA/ MA degree. In order to process your degree certificate’ equivalency check we must receive a copy of it as early as possible. If the degree is not issued in English, please arrange an official translation. Once the qualification has been approved as equivalent, MOME will issue an equivalency certificate for the applicants. Please note that some universities may not be accepted as an accredited institution therefore their degree qualifications may not be regarded as equivalent/ valid to enter the Hungarian higher education system.
