The University of Debrecen says foreign students on scholarships pay HUF 40,000 a month for a dormitory place, while fees for other students are set each year by the University Senate and are not listed on its page. Places are allocated by a points system based on your previous two semesters’ results, with preferences set for first-year students. This guide sets out what the university states and what I could not verify.
Details come from the University of Debrecen’s dormitory page, checked on 28 October 2026. The page is undated, so confirm the current fee with the university. Amounts are in Hungarian forints (HUF).

What I could not verify
I could not verify fees for self-funded students, room sizes, or private rents in Debrecen, so I have not quoted them. I also have not ranked areas or listed private flats, and I did not verify Hungarian tenancy rules. If you rent privately, view the room in person or on a live video call, get a written contract and never pay before you have one. Before you commit, read our guide to university halls versus private housing, the checklist of what to look for before you sign and our safety guide.
