Abstract
The institutional system of Hungarian higher education has been traditionally formed by universities and colleges as state, private or religious institutions. Altogether 71 higher education institutions operated in Hungary in 2010 of which 19 offered only religious programmes.
Prior to the introduction of Bologna-type study programmes, universities focused on more theoretical, university-level education, while colleges provided more practice-oriented, college-level training. The typical duration of studies was five years universities and four years at colleges. In the Bologna Process, a gradual transition started in 2004 from the traditional university or college degrees a higher education system based on three phases built one on the other: BA/BSc, Master and PhD programmes. Beside the new BA/BSc and the Master programmes, single-cycle 10-12 semester programmes were preserved, where the degree level corresponds the Master degree: in veterinary medicine, architecture, forestry engineering, dentistry, pharmacy, law and medicine as well as in some arts majors and theological studies. On single-cycle education 5-6 per cents of all students are studying.
