The National University of Public Services places a high priority on not only providing top-notch education but also giving importance to building a cutting-edge campus environment that is vibrant and student-friendly. It offers opportunities where international students can compete with other Hungarian students in terms of academic and extracurricular activities. I have acquired both theoretical and practical knowledge in my field of study.

It has been a wonderful opportunity to be able to meet new people in my field of study and beyond, which has been a wonderful experience.
