The ELTE Origó Language Centre is an independent non-profit institution under the auspices of Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE). There are about 100,000 candidates each year and examinations are administered in 30 languages, Hungarian as a second language among them. The Budapest-based institution has a nationwide network with locations for administering examinations in the largest universities of the country and in other educational institutions as well.

At the start of every semester the Faculty of Social Sciences, ELTE offers a free general and academic English course for students who are enrolled in any of the Faculty's full degree programs taught in English. Thus, students who are:

1. studying at the Faculty in the framework of any bilateral exchange agreement (Erasmus+, Makovecz, etc.) or
2. are enrolled in any program taught in Hungarian

are unfortunately not eligible for this course. To learn more about the free English course, please read this content.
