Orientation Week

The Orientation Week is organized for new international students at ELTE Faculty of Humanities at the beginning of each academic semester.

Our programme is designed to introduce you to the Faculty, staff, and organizations you will have contact with during your stay at ELTE in Budapest. It also provides information and advice that will assist you in adjusting to the learning environment of the University and to the life in Budapest and Hungary.

Online Pre-Orientation

The online pre-orientation is intended to help our new students prepare for the semester, course registration, and arrival at Hungary. You can 'meet' your coordinators, and there is also a Question&Answer session after the presentation.
