As a student, you can access numerous discounts in Hungary, whether for transportation, entertainment, or shopping. It is worth knowing which apps and platforms you can use, as well as the fact that some universities offer their own exclusive discounts for students.
Useful Coupon Apps for Student Discounts
Diverzum – The Student Discount Hub
Diverzum is an app specifically designed for university students, helping you see all available discounts in one place. Within the app, various stores, services, and entertainment venues offer discounts for students.
It is important to note that there may be differences between universities, meaning some discounts are only available to students of specific institutions. The amount and number of discounts can also vary depending on which university you attend.
Simple App – General Discounts
Although not exclusively for students, the Simple app often offers extra discounts for activities like going to the movies, buying books, or using other services. It is worth downloading and keeping an eye on the latest offers.
Exclusive University Discounts and University Apps
As mentioned earlier, the availability and extent of student discounts may vary from one university to another. Some universities offer exclusive deals specifically for their students. Here, we present two examples.
Corvinus University
Corvinus University has its own official app, which provides students with various coupons and discounts. This can be a great way to save money if you are a Corvinus student.
The available discounts mainly apply to restaurants, but you can also find fitness centers, burger places, electronics stores, and even rental services within the app.
ELTE Faculty of Humanities (BTK)
For students at ELTE’s Faculty of Humanities (BTK), official university discounts are less common. However, the Könyvtár Klub (KK) offers discounts for ELTE BTK students.
KK is located right next to the university, and it is worth visiting not only for the discounts but also for its great atmosphere.
General Student Discounts
