A record number of 129,730 people applied to higher education institutions in Hungary this year, revealed the head of the Ministry of Culture and Innovation at the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences, located in Gödöllő.
Balázs Hankó declared that the results of the 2025 higher education admission procedure brought the highest number of applications in Hungary in the last 13 years. He added that the number of applications had already exceeded 120,000 in 2023 and 2024, but this year it was close to 130,000.
A higher education degree adds value, increases wages, thanks to the popularity, success and international competitiveness of our universities,
the minister added.
He explained that this increase in enrollments was also due to government measures to help students. One such measure, introduced last year, is that mothers and fathers under 30 who have children can receive state scholarships and are guaranteed an individual study program.

Hankó stated that Hungary currently has 12 universities in the top 5% of the world’s top universities. The number of applicants from disadvantaged regions has increased by 50% compared to 2022, emphasizing that Hungarian universities give a chance to everyone.
The 57% increase in the number of applicants for higher education from vocational education and training compared to 2022, is a successful result of the renewed higher education model in 2022,
said the minister.
He announced that “the number of applicants over 30 has increased by 45% compared to 2022, which means that one in four applicants was over 30.” He added that 31,966 people over the age of 30 applied for higher education in 2025. He noted that the oldest applicants were aged 81 and 83.
