What kind of Education is offered?
- Children in Hungary start school at the age of six and everybody must go to school until the age of sixteen. The first type of school is primary school, where children may stay until they are fourteen, that is for eight years. But a
lot of children choose to leave primary school earlier and go on to secondary school at the age of ten or twelve.
Most secondary schools work with a four-year schedule, so their students are between fourteen and eighteen years of age. But quite a lot of secondary grammar schools tend to give more complex education and take children at the age of twelve for a six-year schedule or at the age of ten for a complete eight years' time.The basic aim of grammar schools is to prepare students for higher education, while secondary technical schools give more practical education and their finals include qualification in a given trade. Secondary vocational schools train skilled workers with a schedule of two or three years.The final exams at grammar school (at the age of eighteen) include Hungarian language and literature, history, mathematics, a foreign language and one or two chosen subjects. Students usually choose subjects depending on what kind of university or college they would like to go on to. Those with lower results have little chance to go on to forms of higher education - but they still have a possibility to become skilled workers by two years' training after finishing grammar school. For all the more, there are certain trades which require secondary school finals and can be started only after secondary school. Admission to university or college requires secondary school finals and a successful entrance exam. The score is calculated by the results of the last two years of secondary school in the chosen subject and the score of the entrance exam. You need a high score to get into a good university or college (e.g. the arts, science or law faculty, the technical or medical university). University training takes five years (the medical university six), while you spend three or four years at college.
