Budapest International College (BIC) is a private higher education institution. It operates independently and is not funded by the state, distinguishing it from public universities. Private institutions like BIC typically rely on tuition fees and private investments.
BIC offers programs tailored to international students, often with a focus on English-taught courses. While public universities in Hungary receive government funding, private colleges such as BIC have more flexibility in curriculum design and admissions but may have higher tuition costs.
