COMPLETING THE MOBILITY

Students completing their studies abroad in the Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility program

• do not pay tuition fees at the host institution;
• active students who are also enrolled at home, and pay any tuition fees, and receive their regular scholarship for the duration of their stay abroad;
• in case of semester-long-studies, students implement part of their domestic study obligations by studying abroad. The two cooperating departments agree before the student's trip about the courses to be taken at the foreign university. For BA/BSc and MA/MSc students, the completion of a minimum of 20 ECTS credits is required. The minimum number of credits or units to be completed beyond this at the partner institution for each degree programme will be determined by the course supervisor and published in the faculty/institution/departmental call.
• Courses related to the major of the student are accepted based on the ELTE credit number, while other courses are evaluated through a separate procedure. For more information on credit recognition see our website.

WHO CAN APPLY?

All ELTE students who

• have Hungarian citizenship, a registration certificate or a valid permanent or temporary residence permit (with the exception of Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship holders);
• have completed at least two semesters in BA education by the time of the planned trip (this can be more than two semesters according to special faculty rules);
• have a valid student status at ELTE in the semester when the mobility is planned;
• meet the application requirements of the faculty/department concerned;
• have at least a B2 level in the language(s) of education (if the host university requires a higher level of language proficiency, this will apply.)

In case of traineeships

• Students participating in Erasmus+ studies (full semester or professional training) during their final semester: mobility may last until the last day of the final semester examination period, but the mobility must be approved before the graduation. 
• Recent graduates/or students having pre-graduation certificate may also participate in an internship in the year following their graduation. In this case, they may apply in the year of graduation, up to the last day of the last semester examination period, i.e. as long as they have an active student status.
• Teaching assistantship mobility is also considered as an internship (specified by the faculties).
• It is possible to travel for a professional training during the first year of higher education studies (faculty exceptions may take place).

According to Erasmus+ rules, each student can be granted Erasmus status for a maximum of 12 months in total per level of education (part-time and professional training altogether, even if it is zero grant (label) mobility!). If the applicant has previously participated in an Erasmus part-time course and/or professional training at their current level of education but has not used the 12-month Erasmus timeframe, they can apply again. Master's or doctoral students who have already been Erasmus+ scholarship holders at their previous level(s) of training may also apply.

APPLICATION DEADLINE AND EVALUATION PROCEDURE

Submission of applications

Applications for the spring semester of 2022/23 have to be submitted to the academic coordinator by 20^th September, depending on faculty/institute/department specifics. The academic coordinator forwards the applications to the Faculty Committee on Foreign Affairs (Kari Külügyi Bizottság) within 5 business days, which the Committee, after its decision, forwards to the staff of the Department of Erasmus+ and International Programs no later than October 3, 2022.

Evaluation of the applications

General criteria of the evaluation (the list is not in a priority order, and there might be other aspects as well according to individual faculty regulations):

The Faculty Committee on Foreign Affairs prepares an individual evaluation form based on the documents submitted in the application (and possible oral hearing). The Faculty Committee on Foreign Affairs ranks applications based on the scores recorded on the individual evaluation sheets, then forwards the faculty ranking to the Department of Erasmus+ and International Programs. The final ranking is sent to the Committee of Student and Staff Mobility (HOMB), which decides which student(s) ELTE will propose for scholarship status to the partner institution by 13^th of October. The final decision will be made by the partner universities, expected within two weeks after the nomination process with a deadline of October 15, 2022.

Students who pass the application but do not receive a scholarship are placed on a reserve list or, with the agreement of the partner institution, may start their mobility as a self-financed student.

The purpose of the ICM scholarship programme is to spend one academic semester abroad or thesis research. In the case of BA/BSc and MA/MSc students, the mobility can only be realized if the sending institution accepts the exchange semester and it is included in the academic progress of the student – this is ensured by credit and grade conversion according to ELTE regulations and their inclusion in the diploma supplement. In the case of PhD students, it is not mandatory to register to and complete courses if the purpose of the mobility is research.

At the host institution, Erasmus+ ICM students

• spend a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 months abroad (depending on the offer of the host institution);
• do not pay tuition fee;
• enroll at the home university as well, pay any tuition at the home university and receive any associated grants from the home university for the duration of the study abroad programme;

Before the mobility, the two cooperating departments agree on which courses the student will complete at the host institution. For BA/BSc and MA/MSc students, the completion of a minimum of 20 ECTS credits is required. Additional credit requirements, as well as the compulsory number of courses to be completed at the host institution are determined by the department supervisors and are published in the faculty/institutional/departmental call for applications. PhD students can also complete the research activity specified in their study plan within the framework of a study abroad programme at the host institution, in which case there is no minimum credit requirement.
• Courses related to the major of the student are accepted based on the ELTE credit number, while other courses are evaluated through a separate procedure.

Please do check the set of available courses at the website of the host university and do carefully study information about their language and level (BA/BSc or MA/MSc).
