Rubik was a lifelong student who referred to himself as a ‘bibliophile.’ He began his education at the Secondary School of Fine and Applied Arts, where he received his high school diploma. He had always been interested in architecture and sculpture, and in 1962 he enrolled in Budapest University Of Technology. He received his bachelor's degree in art from there in 1967. He continued his academic education in 1967 by enrolling in the Hungarian Academy of Applied Arts, where he graduated in 1971 and later became a faculty member and designer at the same university. All of these schools and colleges, according to Rubik, helped him mold his life and give him a sense of purpose. He also believes that schooling is critical for a human being since it allows them to practice, think, and learn.
