Student Trips to Hungary
The beautiful country of Hungary is blessed with an array of architectural masterpieces, including Roman ruins, Baroque churches, art nouveau buildings and medieval townhouses at almost every turn. The capital city of Budapest is the country’s cultural, political and economic centre.
Why choose Hungary as the destination for your student trips?
A student trip to Hungary offers an experience rich in architectural beauty and unique cultural traits. It combines deep history, stunning natural thermal resources, and a growing modern economy, making it an ideal destination for college and university students with a focus on Media and Film Studies, Business Studies, Health and Social Care, and Hospitality and Catering.
Budapest: The Political and Architectural Centre
Almost a fifth of the country’s entire population resides in the capital, and it’s now becoming a destination for well-travelled tourists and students searching for the next European hotspot. The river Danube cuts through the city, with the capital once having been two distinct and separate cities; “Buda” on the west of the river and “Pest” on the East. Since the unification of these two cities, the Danube has become the heart of the capital, offering breathtaking views from both sides of the river.
Overlooking the east of the city, is the Unesco World Heritage Site, Buda Castle. Initially built in the 13th century, this building has undergone numerous architectural changes and now boasts a unique combination of medieval, Baroque and modernist styles. This architectural layering offers rich content for creative students.
A Unique Focus for Hair and Beauty
Budapest has earned itself the nickname, the ‘City of Spas’, due to the abundance of thermal and medicinal water springs dotted around the city. Your visit to Hungary, and a student trip to Budapest in particular, wouldn’t be complete without visiting one of the city’s therapeutic thermal spas. This unique focus on health and therapeutic waters provides fascinating case studies for Hair and Beauty students, who can examine the traditional and modern uses of these natural resources in wellness and public health.
Hub for Business and Creative Media
The city’s growth as a cultural, political, and economic centre means that study trips to Hungary offer excellent real-world lessons for students. The city's energy and architecture, combined with the film industry's use of its varied locations, make it a prime spot for media and film studies. The lively economy and tourist industry also offer excellent material for business studies students to analyse market growth and hospitality management.
Alternatives for Hospitality and Culture
To the east of the capital, the small yet exuberant town of Eger is a fantastic alternative to the bustling capital city. Boasting cobbled streets and a fortress, this town has a social atmosphere that belies its small size. This environment offers a localised look at hospitality and catering, allowing students to explore regional food, wine, and smaller-scale tourism operations.
Study trips to Hungary offer a unique experience, and at StudyLink, we can create a bespoke itinerary to suit your learning objectives.
