Explore English-taught degrees at moderate cost, with a clear plan for entrance exams and a full government scholarship.

Plan my studies with UGOFor students in Uzbekistan. For the families beside them.

Start with
the essentials.

Your school certificate, subjects and study language shape your next step.

Length of study

Roughly 2–4 years in the current scholarship call; confirm the programme.

After Grade 11 in Uzbekistan

Direct entry often possible

Universities ask for your school-leaving certificate plus their own entrance exam. Some engineering or IT applicants are placed in a foundation year first.

Tests to plan for

English + entrance exam

Usually IELTS or another accepted English certificate, plus the university's written or oral entrance exam in subjects linked to the programme.

Can I study in English?

Programmes in several languages; many scholarship options are taught in English.

More about qualifications and tests

Bachelor's applications use your secondary school certificate and its translation. Each university sets its own entry requirements and runs an entrance exam.

For English-taught engineering, music or computer science, the university may require a foundation semester or year, decided at the entrance exam.

Stipendium Hungaricum applicants must be at least 18 by 31 August of the start year and may choose up to two programmes, in order of preference.

Working while studying

Can I work as a student?

Up to 30 hours / week in term

Holders of a residence permit for study may work up to 30 hours a week during term, and full time for up to 90 days a year outside term. Check your permit conditions.

Check the official work rules

Roles to look for

  • Campus and student-service roles
  • Cafés, restaurants and retail
  • Tutoring and language teaching

Ask your university's career office about student jobs and confirm term dates before taking full-time work in breaks.

A job can help with everyday spending, but vacancies and earnings are not guaranteed, especially without Hungarian. Plan tuition and essential living costs without relying on work.

Scholarships.
What can they cover?

Look for university awards that reduce tuition. Compare what your family would still pay for both study and living expenses.

Full government scholarship

Examples to explore, not guaranteed awards. Admission and scholarship applications can have different deadlines.

More funding details

Stipendium Hungaricum: Uzbekistan is a partner. It gives tuition-free study, HUF 43,700 (about $130) a month and a dorm place or HUF 40,000 housing aid. These contribute to, but do not cover, living costs.

Self-funded students should check faculty awards early; ELTE's Faculty of Economics, for example, currently offers no scholarships for full-time study. Budget for the amount your family still needs to pay.

Universities to explore

QS World University Rankings 2027

Overall university rankings, not subject rankings. “=” means a shared rank; a range is a ranking band. Compare course content, language and entry requirements too.

These are examples to research, not UGO partners or guaranteed admission or funding.

A little preparation.
A clearer plan.

Bring your school results, subject interests and a family budget to your consultation.

Choose your intake

Most programmes start in September. Stipendium Hungaricum closes in mid-January; self-funded deadlines are often later, such as late April or May at ELTE's Faculty of Economics.

Prepare your documents

Start with your passport, school certificate and transcript with translations, a language certificate and a motivation letter. Scholarship holders bring a medical certificate on arrival.

Agree a realistic budget

Ask what the fee includes, whether a dorm place is available and the cost of renting in your city. The scholarship stipend does not cover every expense.
