2027-28<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Only a small number of Hungarian universities publish a Duolingo score, and Corvinus University of Budapest is the clearest of them at a minimum of 100 for bachelor&#8217;s entry. Most other Hungarian institutions publish a required level rather than a named list of tests, which is why every unsourced table you find online disagrees with the next one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-palette-color-5-background-color has-background has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>University<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Level<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Duolingo status<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Score<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Source<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni-corvinus.hu\/?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Corvinus University of Budapest<\/a><\/td><td>Bachelor&#8217;s<\/td><td>Accepted and published<\/td><td>100<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/uni-corvinus.hu\/post\/landing-page\/application\/admissions-requirements\/?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Admissions requirements<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Corvinus University of Budapest<\/td><td>Master&#8217;s<\/td><td>Certificate usually not required at all<\/td><td>Not applicable<\/td><td>Same page<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/edu.unideb.hu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">University of Debrecen<\/a><\/td><td>All programs<\/td><td>Not named.

A Duolingo 100 therefore sits in the same band as an IELTS 6.0 in their eyes, not below it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any row marked verify directly means exactly that: the university states a level, not a list. Email the admissions office with your program name and ask whether the Duolingo English Test is accepted and at what score. Do not rely on an aggregator table, and do not rely on what a friend was told two intakes ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Counselor insight:<\/em><\/strong><em> When you email, ask for the answer in writing and keep it. Hungarian admissions teams are responsive, but an answer given on a phone call is worth nothing if a different officer reviews your file three months later.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_the_Answer_Differs_from_University_to_University_in_Hungary\"><\/span><strong>Why the Answer Differs from University to University in Hungary<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hungary has no central catalogue of acceptable English certificates, so each institution sets its own rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the opposite of Poland, where a 2025 ministerial regulation created a fixed national list that every university must apply to non-EU applicants. In Hungary, the Ministry sets no such list, and a university is free to name specific tests, state a CEFR level and leave the tests open, or assess your English inside its own entrance examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The University of Debrecen is a good example of the middle approach. It requires that language proficiency be proven with a standardised, at least upper-intermediate (B2) level language certificate obtained at a proctored exam, and then adds that exemptions may be granted on the basis of certain other educational certificates submitted with the application. That wording gives the admissions committee room to judge, which is useful if your case is unusual and frustrating if you want a number before you book a test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Counselor insight:<\/em><\/strong><em> This decentralisation is why two consultants can give you opposite answers about the same Hungarian university and both believe they are right. One is quoting a 2023 email, the other a 2025 one. Ask the university, not the internet.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_Indian_Students_Do_Not_Need_Any_English_Test_for_Hungary\"><\/span><strong>When Indian Students Do Not Need Any English Test for Hungary<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A large share of Indian applicants to Hungary never need a Duolingo or IELTS score at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The University of Debrecen exempts applicants who are native speakers of English or who have completed their secondary or higher education in English, in which case a medium of instruction certificate is required as proof of proficiency instead. For Indian students from CBSE, ICSE, most state boards and almost every Indian university, this covers you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Corvinus goes further at master&#8217;s level, stating that applicants are not required to submit an English language proficiency certificate, with the exception of the Management and Leadership integrated CEMS program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The medium of instruction route has one weak point, and it is on the Indian side. Your college must issue a letter that clearly states English was the language of instruction for your program, on letterhead, signed and stamped. Indian institutions issue this in wildly inconsistent formats, and a letter that only says &#8220;the course was conducted in English medium&#8221; without naming your program and dates often gets sent back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Counselor insight:<\/em><\/strong><em> Request the medium of instruction letter at the same time as your final transcript, not after. Once you have graduated and left campus, getting a non-standard letter out of an Indian examination section can take six weeks, and that is usually longer than simply sitting a test would have taken.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Duolingo_work_for_MBBS_and_Health_Programs_in_Hungary\"><\/span><strong>Does Duolingo work for MBBS and Health Programs in Hungary<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For Hungarian medical and health programs, the entrance examination matters more than the certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hungary&#8217;s medical universities, including Debrecen, P\u00e9cs, Szeged and Semmelweis, admit international students through written and oral entrance examinations in subjects such as biology and chemistry or physics, and English proficiency is assessed as part of that process for several health programs rather than through a submitted score alone. A Duolingo score can support your file, but it will not substitute for the exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two practical points for Indian applicants. First, competition is now heavy enough that programs close early: Debrecen stopped accepting applications for medicine and dentistry for the September 2026 intake because of an exceptionally high number of applications received. Second, Debrecen applies study gap limits, with a maximum gap of six years for medical applicants to foundation, undergraduate and one-tier graduate programs, and four years for non-medical undergraduate applicants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Counselor insight:<\/em><\/strong><em> If medicine in Hungary is your plan, treat the entrance exam as the real gate and book your test months earlier than you think you need to. Students who spend three months perfecting a Duolingo score and two weeks on biology revision have their priorities backwards.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_the_Stipendium_Hungaricum_Scholarship_Accept_Duolingo\"><\/span><strong>Does the Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Accept Duolingo<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Stipendium Hungaricum does not set its own English test list, so the answer routes straight back to your chosen university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The program is managed by Hungary&#8217;s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and coordinated by Tempus Public Foundation, and is built on bilateral educational cooperation agreements with more than 90 sending partners. Its published criteria are that applicants must be citizens of eligible countries with a valid nomination from the national authorities responsible for higher education, must meet the entry requirements of the selected study program and host institution, and must have the required language proficiency as specified by the university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That last clause is the one that matters here. If your host institution accepts Duolingo, your Stipendium Hungaricum application can use it. If the institution does not name it, you need one of the tests it does accept, or a medium of instruction certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Indian applicants there is a second track running in parallel: you must be nominated by India&#8217;s designated sending partner, and the nomination process has its own criteria and deadlines that sit alongside the Tempus application. Our<a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/stipendium-hungaricum-scholarship-for-indian-students\/\"> Stipendium Hungaricum guide for Indian students<\/a> covers that side in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Counselor insight:<\/em><\/strong><em> Students lose this scholarship on the nomination step, not the language step. Applying only on the Tempus portal and assuming the nomination happens automatically is the single most common mistake, and it is unrecoverable once the deadline passes.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_this_Costs_Indian_Students_in_Rupees\"><\/span><strong>What this Costs Indian Students in Rupees<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hungarian immigration fees are set in forint. Under the published rules, the administrative service fee for a residence permit is <strong>Rs.11,700 (HUF 39,000)<\/strong> if submitted in Hungary in person, or <strong>Rs.7,200 (HUF 24,000)<\/strong> if submitted through the Enter Hungary platform. Extending a residence permit costs <strong>Rs.6,900 (HUF 23,000)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of that, budget for the university application fee, which at Debrecen is 150 USD and non-refundable, your English test if you need one, apostille and translation charges, health insurance and the Type D visa fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Exchange rate used: Rs.0.30 per Hungarian forint.

Apply as a self-financed student for the same intake if you can fund it, or target the next cycle and use the extra year to strengthen your file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Your apostille is delayed.<\/strong> Tell the university in writing before the deadline rather than after, and ask whether provisional documents are acceptable while the attestation completes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You failed the entrance examination.<\/strong> Ask whether the university offers a foundation or preparatory year, which several Hungarian institutions run specifically for international applicants who need an extra year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Counselor insight:<\/em><\/strong><em> Keep a valid Duolingo score even if Hungary does not need it.

Corvinus University of Budapest publishes a minimum Duolingo score of 100 for bachelor&#8217;s entry. Hungary has no national list of accepted certificates, so each institution decides for itself, and many publish only a required B2 level without naming which tests they take.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1789735920936\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>My Duolingo score is 95 and my Hungarian university wants 100. What should I do?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Retake rather than apply and hope. Scores arrive within 48 hours, so a retake costs days, not weeks. In parallel, ask your college for a medium of instruction letter, which may exempt you from the test entirely, and check whether a second university on your shortlist accepts a lower score.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1789735938889\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Will Duolingo be accepted for the Hungary student visa and residence permit?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The residence permit checklist for Indian applicants requires a language certificate proving proficiency where the education is not in your mother tongue. The certificate you used for admission is normally what you submit. If your university accepted your Duolingo score, carry the official score report and the admission letter together.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1789735955437\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Does Stipendium Hungaricum accept Duolingo?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The scholarship itself does not publish a test list. Its criteria require the language proficiency specified by your chosen university, so acceptance depends entirely on the host institution. If your host university takes Duolingo, your scholarship application can use it. Indian applicants must also secure a nomination from the designated sending partner.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1789735974821\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Do master&#8217;s applicants in Hungary need an English certificate?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Not always. Corvinus states that master&#8217;s applicants are not required to submit an English language proficiency certificate, except for the Management and Leadership CEMS program. Other universities differ, so confirm with the specific program before assuming you are exempt.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1789736014712\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Can I study in Hungary without IELTS as an Indian student?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Often yes. If your secondary or higher education was taught in English, universities such as Debrecen exempt you from an English test provided you submit a medium of instruction certificate. Corvinus also waives the certificate for most master&#8217;s applicants. Otherwise use any test your university accepts, which may include Duolingo, TOEFL, TOEIC or Cambridge.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1789736031841\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Does the University of Debrecen accept Duolingo?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Debrecen does not name Duolingo.
