The most popular bachelor's course this year was Business and Management, with a total of 10,300 applicants. The second most popular was Commerce and Marketing with 7,400 applicants, and in third place was Engineering Informatics with 6,500 applicants.
Among the master's applicants, the most sought-after programs were the Unified Teacher Training, Leadership and Management, and Psychology.
The Most Popular University and Faculty
The most popular higher education institution among applicants was ELTE (Eötvös Loránd University), chosen by nearly 25,000 students on their application forms. The most popular faculty was the Business Faculty of Corvinus University, where almost 7,000 applications were submitted, with 4,300 of them listing it as their first choice.
Courses with the Most Admitted Students
In September, the course with the most admitted applicants was Engineering Informatics, with a total of 2,069 students. This was followed by Mechanical Engineering with 1,462 admitted students, and Software Engineering with 1,442 students.
For master's programs, the Psychology course received the most new students, with 561 admitted. The Leadership and Management course also did well, with 287 students admitted, and the Communication and Media Studies course welcomed 195 promising freshmen.
Universities with the Most Bachelor's Students Admitted
Similar to previous years, ELTE admitted the most newly graduated high school students this year, with more than 5,800 students starting their university studies in bachelor's or unified programs. The second place went to the University of Debrecen, and the third to the University of Szeged.
For newly starting master's programs, the top two universities were the same (ELTE and University of Debrecen), but the third was BME (Budapest University of Technology and Economics).
The Highest Admission Score
One of the most surprising data points is that applicants to the German Studies program at the University of Pécs needed 490 points to get in. This was due to the low number of admitted students and the high number of very good applicants.
For the most popular course, Business and Management at Corvinus University was the hardest to get into, requiring 449 points.
The Oldest Applicant
The average age of this year's applicants was 24 years, significantly higher than the age of freshly graduated high school students. This is thanks to many older applicants wanting to return to school, with the oldest applicant being 78 years old.
