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.

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 academic year of 2023/24 have to be submitted to the faculty international office by 6^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 March 27, 2023.

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):

• language proficiency;
• academic achievements;
• professional knowledge and activity;
• academic excellence or other significant professional achievements;
• participation in the activities of the ELTE Students’ Union or other organizations;
• mentoring of incoming Erasmus students.

Ranking and decision-making

Applications that meet the formal requirements are evaluated and ranked first by the Faculty Committee on Foreign Affairs, taking into account the proposal of the academic coordinator and other aspects published in the call for applications. 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 25^th of April. The final decision will be made by the partner universities, expected within two weeks after the nomination process which varies at different partners.

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 self-financed (zero-grant) students.

The result of the applications becomes complete with the agreement of the partner institutions.

The Announcement of results

Winning applicants are notified by e-mail, expected at the end of April. Where nomination deadlines preced the final decision on the scholarship status, students will be conditionally nominated to partners.

If you have any questions in connection with preparing your application, please contact your academic coordinator or faculty coordinator.
