Located in central Europe, Hungary is a landlocked country famous for its art, culture, history, and architecture. From the Danube River to the Buda Castle to St. Stephen’s Basilica, Hungary brings a mix of nature and culture like its neighbors.  Beyond its geographical opulence, Hungary offers some of the best higher education opportunities in Europe. World-class universities coupled with manageable tuition fees and post-degree work opportunities attract hundreds of students each year. Here’s a detailed guide if you’re planning to get started with your bachelor’s in Hungary.  Why Study in Hungary?  In 2023, around 30,000 international students were studying in Hungary for bachelor's, master's, and PhD. The large number of students is a testament to the ease and acceptability of higher education in the country.  Besides, Hungary has a robust history as a seat of higher education dating back to 1581 with the establishment of the University of Szeged. Today, 5 Hungarian universities are ranked in the top 1000 list of QS Ranking 2025.  Unlike major Western European study-abroad destinations, Hungary offers a much more affordable tuition and living cost. The living cost index puts Hungary among the most affordable European countries in every expenditure head.  Hungary also has a generous 12 to 14 weeks of summer break in each academic year. The long breaks allow students to engage in self-development activities, work full-time, visit home, or even travel around. Additionally, the up-and-coming startup scene and widespread internship opportunities help the graduates smoothly kickstart their careers.  Read more: Distance Learning: Top Universities Offering Online Courses for International Students How Can Non-EU Students Apply for Bachelor's Degree in Hungary? Unlike West European countries, Hungary doesn’t have a centralized admission system. As a result, every university has its own admission schedule, process, and requirements. Application into the bachelor’s program can be divided into the following steps:  Step 1: Find a Program Study Portal’s bachelor's list for Hungary (https://www.bachelorsportal.com/search/bachelor/hungary) can be an effective starting point to get an idea about the disciplines, university location, program duration, tuition fees, and other aspects. Based on the overview, you can do more specialized research utilizing the specific university portals and their admission resources.  Step 2: Get the Paperwork  The next step is to organize the paperwork to apply for the bachelors. As there’s no centralized system, the document requirement varies from one university to the other. However, some of the universal documents include: - High school diploma (SSC and HSC certificate in the case of Bangladesh) - Transcript of the diplomas - Scanned copy of passport and birth certificate (NID is also applicable) - A Europass format CV - IELTS/TOEFL score - Proof of solvency - Letter of recommendation - Writing samples  Hungary follows the Bologna Process meaning you will need a high school diploma to be eligible for a bachelors. The English proficiency requirements aren’t all that stringent in Hungary. You can apply with “Medium of Instruction” or MOI if you studied your high school in English version. And in other cases, the minimum IELTS requirement is set at 5.5 overall for most universities.  Another thing to note is that all the physical documents to be submitted to the universities need to be attested by the education and the foreign ministry.  Read more: Cheapest countries for Bangladeshi students for higher studies Step 3: Wait for the Admission Decision  Hungarian universities notify results either by e-mail or post. Most universities offer decisions based on document screening only. Some universities may require interviews. Also, specialized programs like M.B.B.S. may require additional tests upon conditional offer. Many Hungarian universities require non-EU citizens to pay the first-semester tuition fee upfront. If there’s no such provision, then the university will issue your admission letter and admission confirmation documents for visa purposes.  Legalization process for non-EU students The first step to getting legalized in Hungary is to get the Permanent Residence status or PR. According to Hungarian law, a person becomes eligible for PR after staying in Hungary for 3 years on a residence permit. Note that, the residence permit for PR is different from the residence permit for students. So effectively, a student will need to legally live and work in Hungary for three years after graduation to be eligible for PR. There are also PR opportunities via investment and donations. The minimum amount starts at around 250,000 euros.  To obtain citizenship status in Hungary, a person will have to stay 8 more years after receiving their PR. In total, it takes about 11 years from graduation to becoming a Hungarian citizen.  Read more: Top 10 Best Affordable Universities in Canada for International Students

France, often dubbed the art capital of the world, offers a unique blend of tradition and modernity. Beyond its beautiful sculptures and scenic monuments, France is one of the top cosmopolitan destinations, attracting thousands of students worldwide. Every year, many Bangladeshi students dream of pursuing bachelor's degrees in France due to the high quality of education and manageable expenses. Here’s a detailed guide on subjects, costs, scholarships, and opportunities for studying for a bachelor's in France. Why Study in France? There are tons of reasons why students consider studying in France. First and foremost is the high quality of education. For the 2025 QS World University Ranking, 35 French universities made it to the list with 4 of them securing spots in the top 100. Apart from excellence, France has been a destination of higher education in Europe dating back to the Middle Ages. The celebrated Sorbonne University was founded in 1257 making it one of the oldest universities in Europe alongside Oxford and Cambridge University. Historically, France had a low tuition fee for both EU and non-EU students. However, there has been a recent tuition fee hike in 2019. But it is still much lower compared to other European destinations. The low crime rate can be another reason to explore France as your study-abroad destination. The criminality index of 5.82 puts France in 9th among 44 European countries and 1st among 11 countries in Western Europe.

The application process for bachelors in France is divided into two options. Students who belong to EU countries are required to apply for bachelors via Parcoursup. It is the national application system for undergraduate programs in France. Students from non-EU countries like Bangladesh, are required to apply through Etudes en France. The “Study in France” option is part of the Campus France portal which deals with all international admissions from non-EU students. Some universities offer admission directly through their platform.

A prospective student will also need to submit a motivation letter stating why he or she wants to study in France and choose that specific program. Step 4: Attend Interview Some students may need to sit for an online interview depending on the university. Note that the procedure applies to non-EU students belonging to a country where the Etudes en France program is applicable. Unfortunately, Etudes en France isn’t available in Bangladesh. In that case, students would need to apply through Demande d'Admission Préalable - DAP" (preliminary request for admission) (https://www.campusfrance.org/en/application-non-EU-student-living-outside-EU-without-etudes-en-France-procedure).

He urged the Deputy Minister to allow online classes for the next few months, catering to the students' requests. The Ambassador also highlighted the potential for expanding bilateral cooperation in education between Bangladesh and Kyrgyzstan. “Conveyed our concerns to Kyrgyzstan; no Bangladeshi student severely injured”: Foreign Minister Deputy Minister Abazbek assured the ambassador that both government authorities and university administrations are committed to ensuring the safety of all foreign students, including those from Bangladesh. He also promised to positively consider the request for online classes and expressed interest in signing a Memorandum of Understanding on educational cooperation with Bangladesh.

Mob attack in Kyrgyzstan: Panicked Bangladeshi students want to return home for a few weeks

Bangladeshi, Indian and Pakistani students have reportedly come under attack by violent mobs in Kyrgyzstan's capital, Bishkek. Pakistan's mission in Bishkek said a few hostels of medical universities in Bishkek, where students from India, Bangladesh and Pakistan reside, have been attacked amid the violence, which broke out on Friday night. The Kyrgyz government said four foreign citizens have been arrested following mob violence in Bishkek on the night of May 17-18 that injured at least 28 people, including several foreigners, and appeared to be directed against foreign students and migrants. The violence prompted diplomatic reactions from Pakistan and India, who have warned their students in Bishkek to remain indoors. The violence broke out after a video purportedly showing Kyrgyz students fighting medical students from Egypt on May 13 was widely shared online, according to Radio Free Europe. Mobs gathered in several spots in Bishkek on Friday night after users on social media claimed those who were beaten were Kyrgyz youths. On Saturday, a number of Bangladeshi students reached out to UNB seeking help for their safety. “We are here, five Bangladeshi girls. We are inside our apartment right now. Some people are gathering in front of our apartment. Please help us," Samia Kabir, one of the Bangladeshi students at International School of Medicine, Kyrgyzstan, told UNB on Saturday evening. "We have been asked by the authorities to stay inside. We hear some noises from other apartments nearby…some Pakistanis are likely to be there," Samia added. "Our mission in Uzbekistan is looking into the matter. So far, we have not received any reports of injuries of any Bangladeshis. We are in touch with our Mission. We will share a complete report soon," a senior official at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Dhaka told UNB. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kyrgyz Republic in a statement said that at present the situation in Bishkek is "absolutely calm and fully under control". "All necessary measures have been taken to ensure security and maintain peace and stability," it said. It also asked representatives of the media, the blogging community and foreign colleagues to be guided only by official and verified information from the competent authorities of the Kyrgyz Republic. One of the students, named Mustafa, who is living a bit far from the main city, told UNB that the number of Bangladeshi students is now over 1000 in Kyrgyzstan. He said they are relatively safer where he is than those who are living in Bishkek. In some cases, students from Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan live in the same hostels, putting them at risk together. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said the situation was "calm" in Bishkek and advised students to stay in regular touch with the Indian Embassy. "The situation is presently calm, but students are advised to stay indoors for the moment," the Indian Consulate tweeted. Videos of the clashes have flooded social media since Friday night. Kyrgyzstan has long been a favoured destination for students from South Asian nations for top-notch medical training. As per the Migration Data Portal, Kyrgyzstan hosted the highest number of international students (61,418) in 2021 among the five Central Asian countries. There are multiple reasons why students flock to Kyrgyzstan, which has the best healthcare, education, and transportation facilities among Central Asian nations. Cheap cost of living, wide availability of Subcontinental cuisine, a good student-teacher ratio, and no entrance fees are some of the facilities that attract MBBS students.

Every year, thousands of Bangladeshi students go abroad for higher studies. Researches show that the number of students going abroad has tripled over the last 15 years. With such a huge volume of students going abroad, there is a natural question: How are the living costs or the tuition fees transferred from Bangladesh? This is where the student file comes in.  What is a Student File?  According to the regulation of Bangladesh Bank, there is no direct channel to send money to a foreign account from an existing local savings/current account. There is also a limit on how much foreign currency can be carried in each foreign trip (US$ 12,000) as well as a limit on credit card payments.  In such a scenario, a student opting to study abroad faces an imminent challenge regarding tuition fee payment or remitting the cost of living. Some European universities require students to maintain a “Block Account” which essentially withholds the entire cost of study and disburses locally to the students as per their need.  Read more: Study in Ireland: Application process, cost for international students A student file essentially bypasses this regulation legally where the bank remits the payment on behalf of the student. A student file is the only authorized way through which a student can send their tuition fee or remit the living cost abroad.  How to Open a Student File?  The process of opening a student file is pretty straightforward. At first, the student or their legal guardian needs to open a savings account with a relevant bank that offers the student file service. After that, the bank can entertain the request for opening a student account.  Typically, a student account can be opened on the same day as that of the application. The cost of opening a student file and the documents required vary from bank to bank.

Also, having a savings account in the relevant bank is a key prerequisite for opening a student file.
