The granted scholarship period can be one or two semesters, 3-10 months. 

Eligibility

  • Partial/semester Bachelor or master studies (3-10 months) are primarily for students majoring in Hungarian language and literature, as well as for other students enrolled outside Hungary at the bachelor or master or in a one-tier master's program. To apply, students are required to have a minimum of one completed semester at their home institutions. 
  • Partial/semester doctoral studies (1-10 months) are available for applicants who are enrolled in a PhD program at an accredited higher education institution in a foreign country. 
  • The enrolled status is necessary at the moment of the application for all. 
  • Applicants for partial/semester bachelor, master and doctoral studies can apply for study programs held in Hungarian or in foreign languages, except students with Hungarian as a major or minor; they may only apply for studies held in Hungarian language. 

    In case the language of instruction is not Hungarian, students have to attend courses of Hungarian language and culture. Those applying for studies in Hungarian language take priority. The language of instruction must be specified in the acceptance letter of the Hungarian host institution. The applicants must agree on the language of instruction with the host institution.
