Hungarian Media Students Seek Better Resources, Modern Skills

A recent survey has shed light on the aspirations and experiences of students pursuing communication and media studies at Hungarian universities. The findings highlight both satisfaction and areas for improvement.

The study, conducted by an unidentified institution, revealed that a majority of students – 68% – are drawn to the field by their fascination with media and communication. Another 41% are attracted by the creative aspects of the discipline. Despite this enthusiasm, only 13% of students find the media production facilities at their universities fully adequate, indicating a need for investment in resources.

Students generally express satisfaction with their instructors, appreciating their preparedness and supportive attitude. However, when it comes to academic literature, while 76% are content with the quality of Hungarian sources, many supplement their studies with foreign materials. This suggests a potential gap in local academic offerings.

Looking ahead, nearly half of graduates anticipate earning less than 400,000 forints per month in the new media sector. To better prepare students for the job market, they call for more emphasis on skills relevant to modern media, such as digital content creation and AI use. Currently, three-quarters of students must find internships independently, indicating a need for more structured support in this area.

PR and marketing are the most popular career paths for graduates, with 50% expressing interest in these sectors. The popularity of communication and media studies in Hungarian higher education can be attributed to students' personal interest and the creative nature of the field.

In conclusion, while students pursuing communication and media studies in Hungary express satisfaction with their instructors and the creative aspects of the field, there is a need for improved resources, a greater focus on modern media skills, and more structured support for internships. Addressing these areas could further enhance the quality of education and better prepare graduates for the job market.
