About CEU »  About Budapest » Cultural Trips »


The language of instruction at CEU is English, although English may not be the first language of everyone in the classroom. Students are able to choose from graduate-level courses offered as part of CEU's general curriculum, as well as language courses and special courses designed to broaden their knowledge of the Central and Eastern European historical, political, economic and societal issues.

Since courses are taught at a graduate level, undergraduate students must be prepared for a rigorous academic program. A system of close advising helps undergraduate students create an academic program that is optimal for them.

Enrollment in doctoral-level courses should be discussed in advance with the Academic Director of Undergraduate Program at CEU.

The Fall academic semester at CEU starts at the beginning of September and ends in the middle of December. Spring academic semester at CEU begins in early January and ends at the end of March/beginning of April. From the second half of April until June undergraduate students can participate in the CEU Professional Internship Program in Budapest.
