ECJ: Hungarian law on higher education breaches EU law

Provisions in Hungary's law on higher education that affect how foreign universities operate in the country breach EU law, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled on Tuesday. Hungary's parliament amended the country's law on higher education in 2017, obliging foreign universities that issue their own degrees in Hungary to carry out educational activities in their home countries, while also making their operations dependent on a bilateral agreement between the Hungarian government and the country in which the universities are based.
