Avicenna International College (AIC) is an international institution accredited by the Hungarian Government (accreditation number: OM-201799) and several international accreditation bodies like Cambridge Assessment, College Board, FEDE, Pearson Edexcel, and NCUK. AIC is an elite educational institute located in the heart of Budapest, near prestigious universities such as Semmelweis University, ELTE, CORVINUS, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, and the University of Public Administration.
1AIC started its activities in 1995 by providing short courses for medical students studying in Budapest at Semmelweis University. Later, it developed its courses, and as far as today on the 27th year of its anniversary, it provides many programs divided into “Secondary or High School” and “Post-secondary” programs. Secondary education begins with a one-year pre-high school course for those students who need further development in English and sciences. Then students join grades 9 to 12. By completing secondary studies at AIC, students can earn two parallel high school diplomas at the same time, namely the prestigious British “A Level” high school diploma in addition to the Hungarian Baccalaureate (Érettségi).2 All subjects are taught in English. Extra German and Hungarian languages are also taught as second languages.
In this truly international environment, we offer our students the unparalleled opportunity to join medical, business and technical preparation programmes within the framework of our UK accredited International Foundation Year (IFY) after high school education. Successful completion of NCUK-IFY programmes means a guaranteed admission to most of the UK and many Australian, US and Canadian universities. AIC also runs English and German Foundation / Language Programs which prepare the students for successful studies in English or German in Europe.
AIC is a university-oriented school that prepares students for successful university studies and is proud that more than 95% of its students are generally admitted to the best universities in Hungary and Europe.
AIC is student-centered and focuses on sciences and languages with educational programs provided by some of the best international teachers and professors. We already have around 35 experienced teachers and 20 staff members who help us achieve our mission.
All our high school and post-secondary students from Hungary and other countries are equally important to us and we provide general pastoral care as well as personalized care and facilitate their studies and development. Our students grow to become successful citizens. AIC provides an advanced scholarship system to most of its students from Hungary and abroad.
AIC Summer Camp Program is a supervised program for students between the age of 13-17 from Hungary and outside Hungary, (European and non-European countries). This camp is designed for 20 busy and enjoyable days during summer 2024.
AIC is committed to maintain an educational, supportive and caring international environment in Budapest for young students from all over the world with lifetime memories and friendships while engaging in challenging sport activities, educational experiences or exploring different cultures. At the end of the program, the students receive a certificate of participation.
