🇭🇺 Hungary → 🇭🇺 TOEFL requirements · Hungary · 2026
From Hungary, funded study is the goal — and TOEFL is widely accepted for US and university places. Some scholarships specify IELTS, so check each. Here's the honest TOEFL picture for Hungary on the new 1–6 scale.
TOEFL changed completely on 21 January 2026 — a new 1.0–6.0 band scale, adaptive Reading and Listening, new Speaking and Writing tasks, about 90 minutes, results in ~72 hours. Any prep from before January 2026 is obsolete. And during the 2026–2028 transition some universities still list old 0–120 requirements — check both.
Your overall TOEFL score is now the AVERAGE of the four sections (Reading, Listening, Speaking, Writing), each scored 1.0–6.0 in half-band steps — not the old 0–120 sum. The scale is CEFR-aligned.
English-taught and international programmes at Hungarian universities accept TOEFL for admission (set per institution — no fixed national figure). Hungarian-taught programmes use a Hungarian-language test instead. (Hungarian universities)
Most universities in Hungary accept TOEFL for admission where an English-language test is required. Globally, TOEFL iBT is accepted by more than 13,000 universities and institutions across over 160 countries. Confirm the exact score your programme needs on its official admissions page.
Study (English-taught / international): TOEFL accepted by Hungarian universities for English-taught and international programmes — set per institution.
