BUDAPEST FILM ACADEMY

UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE PROGRAM

Overview

The Budapest Film Academy (BFA) has fully integrated its curriculum with ELTE's Department of Film Studies. Upon request, ELTE provides official ECTS University credits for all BFA courses. This allows students to transfer credits gained with BFA to ELTE or other universities if their studies are similar. This collaboration presents an opportunity for students to pursue an undergraduate and graduate film training program in English and Hungarian, and achieve ELTE's prestigious Bachelor and Master degree.
