Summary/Abstract: The article is a synthesis of two research projects (ones done in 2009 and 2010) that focus on further education for Hungarian language high school graduate students from Romania. The applied research method can be seen as a unique tool for Romania as the researchers (by using questionnaires) have gathered data from the schools and other relevant sources directly (e.g. using Facebook). The aim of these research projects was to identify the main school tracks and further learning paths that might be followed by minority students. The article therefore answers questions like: What can minority students do after their finishing high school in their mother tongue? Do they continue their studies in their mother tongue or in the official (Romanian) language? The article’s readers can also gain close insight into the territorial distribution of minority student participation within the Romanian higher education system.
