In Hungary the only university where you can study landscape architecture is the Corvinus University of Budapest (CUB), Faculty of Landscape Architecture.

It’s a good basis to search for internship contacts But it’s better if you are a Hungarian student to also use the contact of the responsible department.

Internships
Hungarian students are obliged to go and spend at least nine weeks work experience in an office and in local authority office, after the third and fourth years. But although contacts and jobs can be found at several sources, unfortunately most of them are not in English. The official language of the professional offices is Hungarian, but it’s no problem to communicate in English or German. However, the problem is that it’s hard to find a place for a Hungarian student, because most of the offices are too small, sometimes just one landscape architect in an architecture bureau. But if you are an intern, you’re expected to know AutoCad and have a good knowledge of plants (in a garden design office) and Mapinfo and PhotoShop (in a landscape planning office).
Payment/Salaries
Most of the time students are not paid for this work, but in some case it’s possible. It depends on the office, and on the project. If it’s paid, you can get €120-200 / month, which is almost enough to live from.
Accommodation
You can a room by yourself; but you can also ask for it in the university dormitory. Address: 1118 Budapest, Szüret utca 2-18, Tel.: 0036-1 209 1648, or 0036-1
209 1582.
How to present yourself?
To develop your work, please send a short CV to the office, by mail, or fax, perhaps with some references about you previous work. Explain why you want to go there, to that office, or to Hungary and for how long time, and so on. It’s always better if you can address it personally to someone, so try to search on internet for the data.
