I am planning to apply for a study programme, but I do not have an IELTS/TOEFL English certificate. What should I do?
The University of Miskolc accepts official documents, signed and sealed by the university which issued the applicant's degree, stating that the language of instruction was English and the studies were completed in English. The university accepts not only IELTS/TOEFL certificates, but also equivalent ones.
Am I going to receive any supporting letters from the university which I can use for applying for a VISA?
You will need only one document for your VISA application from the Hungarian side. This is your Final Letter of Acceptance, which you will receive when you are admitted and have paid the tuition fee for your first semester.
What is the difference between the Conditional Letter of Admission and the Final Letter of Acceptance?
The Conditional Letter is a conditional admission decision, in which we inform the students that they have passed the entrance exam and have been admitted to the programme of their choice. This document contains information and payment deadlines related to tuition and accommodation fees.
The Final Letter of Acceptance will be issued after the tuition and accommodation fees have been paid. This document is the official admission decision, in which the university certifies that the student has paid the tuition and accommodation fees. This document also serves as a letter of acceptance, which must be attached to the visa application.
