Those holding a (BA/BSc) degree in tourism and catering (or an equivalent degree of higher education issued before the Bologna reform) can be accepted to the Master’s programme without precondition.

Students holding a degree of any level of higher education (BA/BSc, MA/MSc or former college or university Programme) need to have at least 60 credit points from their earlier studies completed in certain study fields. The list of these study fields can be found on our website.

There are two methods to establish the admission score: the sum of the admission interview (max. 45 points) and the grade point average in the transcript (max. 45 points), or the doubling points of the admission interview (max. 90 points). Maximum 10 additional points can be gained for achievements listed in the Higher Education Admissions Information Brochure (Felsőoktatási felvételi tájékoztató).

At the admission interview an admissions board will assess each applicant individually, based on their previous studies and employment, with the aim of assessing the chances of successful completion of the Master’s programme.
