Eötvös Loránd University - ELTE (reviews)

This is for the English Kindergarten Education Programme at ELTE Facultyof Primary and Preschool Education:

This university helped me achieve my goals in becoming a kindergarten educator.

The courses are balanced between theoretical knowledge and practical work in various kindergartens in Budapest.

A huge benefit is how the university organises our internships for us each semester. In the final semester, you get to choose where you do your 2 month placement. You’re very likely to get hired at the place where you do your final placement which is a big plus.

The professors are quite caring and they get to know you quite well over the 3 years.

You will definitely find a job in Budapest or you can do your masters abroad.

Some downsides:

The university is quite old and is in need of renovation and there are not a lot of places to eat, so be prepared to bring packed lunch.

There were mostly Hungarian students in my course and you’ll feel pretty lonely as an international student, especially when everyone speaks in Hungarian all the time. There were also some professors who would speak in Hungarian, so it would feel pretty awkward sitting in the class and not understanding.

My advice: make good international friends and don’t take it too seriously.

I really like student life at ELTE. I study in the Social Science campus and there are always events, mentoring programs and something to do between classes. The professors are also well-prepared. I wish they open the library, it’s under renovations for over 6 months by now…

The university is overall good. There are a lot of different fields and specializations that you can undertake, depending on your academic and professional profile. My faculty (PPK) has a lot of labs where they conduct research, which are dedicated to their specific and respective areas of study.

The Master’s program in Artificial Intelligence at ELTE is rigorous and well-structured, combining solid theoretical foundations with practical applications. The professors are highly knowledgeable and approachable, ensuring that complex concepts are explained clearly. The curriculum covers a wide range of essential AI topics, from machine learning and data science to cognitive science and algorithms. The international environment creates a collaborative and inspiring atmosphere for research and learning. Overall, ELTE provides an excellent platform for anyone serious about advancing their career in AI.
