Based on the decision of the Faculty Council of the Faculty of Informatics at Eötvös Loránd University, newly admitted students are only eligible for a tuition fee refund if they fully withdraw their intention to start the programme and submit a refund request before the end of the registration period of the relevant semester.
The refund can be requested via e-mail. You can access the refund data sheet via the following links:
