Budapest Metropolitan University (METU) is a private institution of higher education. Established in 2001, it operates independently of state funding, relying on tuition fees and private investments. METU offers programs in communication, business, arts, and tourism, among others, with a focus on practical, industry-relevant education.
While Hungary has both public and private universities, METU’s private status allows it greater flexibility in curriculum design and international collaborations. It is accredited by the Hungarian Accreditation Committee, ensuring its programs meet national standards. Students choose METU for its modern approach and strong ties to industry partners.
