Overall Experience

I'm looking for a similar experience after graduation since I felt like I became a more mature pers... - Wellesley College View Entire Review
All the countries I visited allowed me to see things from different perspectives and viewpoints. I was introduced to various foods, styles of cooking, different behaviors, and know so much more about Europe. - Trinity University View Entire Review
I couldn't ask for a more positive experience. Budapest is the hidden gem of Europe. My recommendation is to find it while it's still hidden. - Hamilton College View Entire Review

About

Explore this historic European city, divided by the Danube river into Buda and Pest. On the Buda side, Castle Hill, the Royal Palace, and Old Town are sites not to be missed. Cross the river and enter Pest, the political and cultural heart of the city. Explore ruin bars, walk the Jewish Quarter, and see why this side of the city is always buzzing! No matter which bank of the city you're on, Budapest has a lot of offer students looking to study in Europe with courses in English!

API students who choose to study abroad in Budapest complete their classes within the International Study Programs (ISP) department of the Corvinus University of Budapest. Located next to the famous Great Market Hall - great for a student to jump over and grab lunch and or just walk the aisles of fresh market stalls and people watch. Students at Corvinus can specialize in international business courses such as marketing, finance, and economics, or choose from a variety of humanities courses such as law, political science, psychology, and more. All courses, with the exception of Hungarian, are offered in English. Semester students who have not previously studied Hungarian are required to take a Hungarian language course alongside their other coursework. Students are automatically placed into a beginning level class. The courses are designed for American and other international students.
