Alapképzése

Alapképzése refers to undergraduate education in Hungary. It is the first cycle of higher education, designed to provide students with a broad foundation in a particular field of study. Successful completion of an alapképzése program typically leads to a bachelor's degree. These programs are generally structured over three to four years, depending on the discipline, and involve a combination of theoretical lectures, practical exercises, seminars, and often a thesis or final project.

The alapképzése system in Hungary aligns with the Bologna Process, ensuring comparability of degrees across European higher education institutions. Graduates are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary for entry-level positions in their chosen profession or for further study at the master's level (mesterképzés). Admission to alapképzése programs is competitive and usually based on high school final examination results and specific entrance exams or portfolio submissions, depending on the institution and program. The curriculum is designed to cover fundamental principles and introduce students to advanced concepts, preparing them for specialized roles or continued academic pursuits.
