Options Outside Hungary."},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Hey-ho. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I took a bit of break to focus on state exams and situating myself post-grad, but I&#8217;m back with more content.<br>This week we are talking about options outside of Hungary, for those interested in transferring. We talked about options in Hungary in a previous blog post that you can access here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This blog post required a lot of research and email correspondences, however I urge that you still do your due diligence and research if you would like to transfer to any of the universities. This blog is just to give a general guide of what to expect and point inquiring students in the right direction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think it&#8217;s worth stating that if you are thinking in the direction of the UK or North America, just forget it. Quell those dreams now. These regions have completely different programmes and so you would have to completely begin afresh in their programmes. Your best bet is finding a university within the EU with a similar programme and a similar awarded degree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, let&#8217;s see all I was able to find:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr
