Spring | Autumn semester | FY for Business Studies programme | BA programmes | PG programmes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deadline 1 | 15th February | 15th August | 430 EUR | ||

If within the prescribed time period the Student has not completed the requirements in all the subjects of a given Programme as pre-requisites of admitting the Student for the final examination, he/she has to re-take the subjects in question in the following semester, and has to pay a tuition fee of 215 EUR per subject.
Refund Policy:
The pre-paid tuition fee will be refunded after sufficient proof is presented that the visa request of the applicant has been rejected by the Hungarian authorities.
Please, note though that if the applicant is not granted a visa through fault of his/her own, WBS will deduct 5% of the first year’s tuition fee from the tuition fee to be refunded.
If your visa request was not rejected, and your trip to Hungary had to be called off for any reason, you will not be entitled to a refund.
For further details, see our Refund Policy:
- Refund Policy - valid until May 15th, 2022
- Refund Policy - valid from May 16th, 2022
How to pay your fees
Only bank-to-bank transfer is considered to be a payment option.
The bank account details of WBS will be provided during the Admission procedure, in our correspondence and in the Conditional Acceptance Letter.
Please note that no credit card payment or payment through money transfer companies (such as Western Union or MoneyGram) is accepted under any circumstances.
Advance payment (prior to obtaining a visa) is obligatory for our international applicants. In certain cases, bank-to-bank payment can be slow, and the timescale is not guaranteed. Ensure that your payment is transferred to the WBS bank account at least 30 days prior to the visa interview.
Once your fees have been received by our Financial Department, you will be sent an official Acknowledgement of receipt.
Go to any bank where you are allowed to transfer money abroad. Fill in the transfer form correctly. Please do not forget that you must cover the banking expenses of the transaction. Write your full name (in a way that your payment can be easily identified), the name of the programme you have applied for and the school semester you have been admitted to in the “message” / “narrative” section of the transfer sheet.
