DECISION

Decision is made by the management of the sending institution in February 2025. Following this the student can apply at the receiving institution according to their requirements and at the same time the Erasmus coordinator will nominate the applicant.

After the student is accepted the sending institution will sign a grant agreement with him/her. Students may contact the receiving institution for advice in connection with accommodation.

The amount of the scholarship depends on the number of months/days spent abroad. In case of incomplete months the amount will be calculated from the first actual day of the mobility (registration) until the last day of tuition or the exam period. The amount of the scholarship is calculated in euro. If the student has euro bank account the scholarship can be transferred to that account, otherwise the Hungarian State Treasury will convert the amount to Hungarian forints and the student will get the money transferred to his/her forint account. It is advisable to have euro account.

The student has to ask for individual study plan at the Study Department and check the possibilities of credit transfer with the appropriate colleague of the department even before travelling.

All students who travel abroad must have a „European Health Insurance Card”, which can be issued (free) at the local office of the National Health Insurance Fund of Hungary (NEAK). Students must present a school certificate, ID card and the social security card also known as „TAJ kártya” to obtain the European Health Insurance Card. This card gives access to medically necessary state provided health care under the same conditions and at the same costs as people insured in that country and also covers the urgently needed medical treatments during the mobility. For more information please check www.neak.gov.hu. Before mobility it is advisable to check the concerning rules for Erasmus students at the websites of the different foreign universities.

After the mobility the final ‘transcript of records’ certifies the completed subjects. It must be handed in at the Credit Transfer Committee for recognition.
