Tax on transferring investments by relative?

Options
Hello
I am new to the UK came here this year to study here from the EU (Hungary).
My grandmother who is also a Hungarian resident owns something like below 100k pounds in shares at a UK investment firm. She would like to transfer the shares to my name and I want to know if is there anything to watch out for taxation.
As for me I am a full time student now.

    You are a student. You know how to research. Try researching.
    Type tax on gifts in this section of this website.

    You may want to look at the SRT to see if you are UK resident at all and the tax rules in Hungary for both you and your relative.
