What our Foundation students think of BIC

Joseph Ukwuagufrom Nigeria, Professional Foundation

My time spent at BIC has made me develop as a person in several ways. The quality of education is exactly what is necessary to gain admission to a university. With up-to-date and well-rounded courses provided by dedicated teachers, this is the perfect step into a higher institution. I believe that this experience also taught me more about myself and strengthened me mentally. It is an opportunity that I am grateful I grasped.

Yuriy Kretovfrom Russia, English Foundation

It was a great experience, being part of this big family. I really enjoyed this period of time here and want to say thank you to Anett & Luca for helping me get through any difficulties in Budapest. Thanks to Kriszta and Mike too, as they made my English much better than it was before. Now I can continue my studies at the university, but I’ll always remember BIC.

I strongly recommend Budapest International College to anyone who wants to take a Foundation year before they go to university. It gave me new knowledge and experiences of the World. It was a great experience. The staff and teachers always helped me with any issues I had, like the visa or the education itself. Everything worked very smoothly, and I had a great year throughout.
