költségtérítésesnek

Költségtérítésesnek is a Hungarian term that translates to "fee-paying" or "tuition-based" in English. It is primarily used in the context of education, particularly in higher education.

In Hungary, universities and colleges often offer programs that are either state-funded (államilag támogatott) or fee-paying (költségtérítéses). Students admitted to fee-paying programs are responsible for covering the costs associated with their studies, typically through tuition fees. These fees are paid directly by the student or their sponsor to the educational institution.

The existence of fee-paying options provides greater access to higher education for a wider range of students. It allows institutions to offer more places and to fund a broader spectrum of programs and facilities. Students who are not admitted to state-funded places, or who prefer to study a particular program that is only offered on a fee-paying basis, can choose this route.

The amount of tuition fees can vary significantly depending on the institution, the program of study, and whether the student is a Hungarian citizen or an international student. While state-funded places often have strict admission criteria based on academic merit, fee-paying places may have different admission requirements, though academic performance is still a significant factor. The term implies that the student's education is financed by themselves or a third party, rather than by the state.
