The long-term study mobility call for applications is here – these are what you should pay attention to!
Important changes
Before we get started, we’d like to draw your attention to an important change this year: if you are awarded a mobility place but later decide not to take the opportunity, you must withdraw within 15 days of the decision being announced. Otherwise, you will be required to reimburse 15% of the minimum wage (which amounts to approximately HUF 43,620 in 2025).
Who can apply?
You are eligible to apply if:
-
you have an active student status at the time of submitting your application and will remain active throughout the mobility period,
-
by the start of the mobility, you will have completed at least one closed semester at Corvinus University of Budapest (which means first-year students can also apply),
-
you hold at least a B2-level accredited complex language examination in the language of the intended studies (except if the language of instruction is English and you are enrolled in an English-language programme).
-
you are not receiving a Stipendium Hungaricum or Diaspora scholarship that covers your tuition fees,
-
and by the end of the autumn semester of the 2025/2026 academic year, your weighted cumulative academic average (CWA) is at least 3.00 on the basis of the credits completed in the closed semesters.
If you are applying (or have already applied) for a CEMS or Double Degree programme, you must still submit your application, as your mobility will only be funded if you also apply for the Pannonia Scholarship.
Documents to be submitted
-
Language certificate (at least B2 level, complex, accredited, in the language of the intended studies)
-
Documents certifying other professional activities
-
For Double Degree students: proof of admission to the programme
-
For PhD students: a letter of acceptance or a statement from the host university
All documents must be uploaded in PDF format to the E401 – Study Abroad Application for Long-Term Mobility form in the Neptun system.

What and how much can you study abroad?
You can find the list of partner institutions and study fields in the call for applications and on the International Opportunities webpage.
If you are studying in a bachelor’s, single-cycle, or master’s programme, you must complete at least 21 credits abroad. To do so, you need to register for a minimum of 30 credits and at least 5 courses for your mobility semester, based on the credit values of the partner institution.
Useful information
Before selecting partner institutions, check which study fields are available for your programme — you can find this information in the table here. Then review the list of partner institutions to see which universities offer programmes that match your field of study.
-
Please note that some partner universities may require a higher-level language certificate. In such cases, you must meet their requirements for your mobility to be approved. Always check the website of the host university for details.
-
Selecting institutions alone does not count as submitting an application — successful application requires submitting the E401 form along with all required documents.
-
If you are enrolled in more than one programme, please indicate which one you are applying from.
The mobility period will take place in the 2026/2027 academic year (except for Double Degree students participating in the Porto programme).
We hope this short summary helps you navigate the application process.
