If it is about you, don’t worry: here is our list of useful tips to make your application process as easy as possible!

  1. Pay attention to the deadlines

Following the deadlines is one of the most important elements of the application process. It helps you to organize your time and plan the preparation of the documents. In the case of Stipendium Hungaricum programme, you need to keep in mind the following deadlines:

  • 16th of January 2023, 2 PM (CET) – submission of the application to Tempus Public Foundation (TPF) through an online platform DreamApply. 
  • Since Stipendium Hungaricum is based on a bilateral agreement between Hungary and the government of your sending country, you will need to submit the documents to your sending organization as well. Each country may have different application deadlines, so we recommend you to check out the requirements of the responsible organization in your country (you can find the list of responsible authorities at https://stipendiumhungaricum.hu/partners/).

  1. Register at the Dream Apply portal

If your application is successful, your sending country will be the first to nominate you for the programme. After that, the University of Pannonia will review your application. Generally, future students need to take an entrance exam, which take place in the period from the middle of March until the end of May. Don’t worry: the exam is usually in the form of an online interview with the representatives of the faculty. You may be asked about:

  • why you chose Hungary or the University of Pannonia
  • why you chose this particular study programme
  • your study / work experience
  • your thesis topic / future research topic
  • your future plans for work or studies
  • your language knowledge

The representatives of the faculty will contact you prior to the interview so that you can prepare for it.

  1. Wait for the results

Until the middle of July, you will be notified about admission by the University of Pannonia. The final decision will be taken by Tempus Public Foundation. After that, you will be able to start the visa application process and prepare for your international adventure!

 

We wish you the best of luck with your application!
