Full-time programmes

Main subject classes are in English (see list below).

Group lessons are also held in English, however, certain major specific lessons might be held in mixed Hungarian-English or  Hungarian only, when Hungarian and international students need to be grouped together due to their small number.

Full-time tuition is offered in English for the majors listed below.

In case of non-instrumental majors, tuition is only offered in English if there are a minimum of 3 international students admitted in a given year to the same major.

Main subject and other one-to-one classes might be taken in German, based upon previous agreement with teachers who speak German.

Most Full-Time Programmes lead to (6-semester) BA and (4-semester) MA degrees. There are two 2-semester full-time artist diploma programmes: the Soloist Programme for Pianists and the Chamber Music Programme for Pianists and Strings.

For international students, music pedagogues and choral conductors, the Kodály Institute of the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music in Kecskemét offers a comprehensive non-degree, A BA and an MA degree programme in English in Kodály-based music education, along with the annual summer seminars.

PhD and DLA programmes are currently available in Hungarian only, but in certain fields they are planned to start in English in the near future.
