Mesterképzési

Mesterképzési refers to a postgraduate degree program in Hungary, equivalent to a Master's degree in the Bologna process. It is a two-year program that follows a bachelor's degree (alapképzési). Students who complete a mesterképzési program acquire specialized knowledge and skills in their chosen field, preparing them for advanced professional careers or further doctoral studies.

Admission to mesterképzési programs typically requires a completed alapképzési degree, often in a related field. Specific admission criteria and required preparatory courses can vary significantly between institutions and programs. The curriculum usually involves advanced theoretical coursework, research methodology, and a thesis or dissertation. Some programs may also include practical training or internships.

Upon successful completion of a mesterképzési program, graduates are awarded a master's degree (mesterfokozat). This qualification signifies a high level of expertise and is often a prerequisite for employment in specialized roles or for pursuing a doctoral degree (doktori képzés) in Hungary or abroad. The mesterképzési system aims to provide a standardized and internationally recognized level of higher education.
