ERASMUS+
Long-term study mobility

Corvinus University of Budapest

Study, travel, grow – experience an unforgettable semester abroad!

Give your studies an international dimension! Under the long-term study mobility scheme, you’ll have the opportunity to continue your studies at a prestigious university abroad as part of your degree programme, whilst discovering new cultures, gaining new experiences and building international connections. 

The aim of the programme is to enable as many students as possible to experience the opportunities offered by studying abroad and to enrich their studies with valuable international experiences. 

Through the Erasmus+ programme, you can also further expand your professional knowledge whilst discovering new perspectives, gaining lasting experiences and building valuable relationships with fellow students from different countries around the world. 

This long-term mobility programme takes place at Corvinus’s partner institutions with the aim of earning credits, and provides for a study period abroad lasting a minimum of 60 days and a maximum of 180 days. If you take part in the mobility programme during the autumn semester, you also have the option of submitting an application to extend your stay into the spring semester.

Distance 

Amount for standard travel  

Amount for green travel 

10–99 km 

28 EUR per person 

56 EUR per person 

Between 100 and 499 km 

210 EUR per person

1,188 EUR per person 

8,000 km or more 

1,735 EUR per person 

1,735 EUR per person 

 

The distance refers to the one-way distance between the sending and host institutions and must be calculated using the Distance Calculator. The amount stated applies to the return journey.  

You can use the ESN (Erasmus+ Student Network) grant simulator to work out exactly how many days your planned long-term mobility (study period or work placement) will last, and approximately how much grant you can expect to receive 

Students participating in Erasmus+ study, work placement or short-term mobility programmes may be eligible for supplementary funding if they travel between the sending and host countries using ‘green’ transport. 

Green travel options include trains , buses , carpooling , cycling or other sustainable modes of transport – but not boats or aeroplanes. Travelling by car is only eligible if it involves car-sharing (regardless of whether the car runs on conventional fuel or is electric; e.g. travelling via a car-sharing service, or at least two scholarship holders travelling in the same car at the same time for the same journey, etc. – a declaration is required). If the scholarship holder is accompanied solely by a relative or friend, this does not qualify as green travel!  

Green travel support may only be granted if more than half (at least 51 per cent) of the entire return journey is made using a sustainable mode of transport, i.e. if the student travels to the host country or a neighbouring country, and back home from there, using green transport. Green travel support cannot be granted for green travel in one direction only!  

For example: when travelling to Malta, if the traveller uses a sustainable mode of transport as far as southern Italy and then continues their journey by ferry, and returns home in the same way, this qualifies as green travel.  

However, if, for example, in the case of a mobility programme in Spain, the student travels to Madrid by plane and then continues their journey to Málaga using green transport (e.g. train, bus), or travels there entirely by train but returns by plane, this does not qualify as green travel. 

Students applying for supplementary funding must declare the mode of travel when completing the outbound documentation (in the case of long-term study mobility and work placements within Europe). Supplementary funding for green travel can only be granted on the basis of a declaration made prior to the mobility period. (The ‘Green Travel’ declaration form can be downloaded from the website). In the event of travel not undertaken as a green journey, retrospective adjustments may only be made due to unforeseeable external circumstances (e.g. travelling by bus or train due to a flight cancellation), provided notification is given before the original mobility end date, subject to an amendment to the contract. 

 

Funding for green travel: 

If the distance between the sending and host institutions 

  • is less than 1,000 km, the successful applicant may be granted an additional 1 travel day in each direction (2 in total)* provided that the mode of transport used for both the outward and return journeys is green. If green travel is only used in one direction, a total of 1 travel day may be granted. 
  • For journeys of 1,000 km or more, the successful applicant may be granted an additional 2 travel days* in each direction (4 in total), provided that the mode of travel is green for both the outward and return journeys. If green travel is undertaken in only one direction, a total of 2 travel days may be granted. 

(*In the case of long-term mobility, the grant per travel day is equal to one-thirtieth of the monthly Erasmus+ basic grant.) 

IMPORTANT! To be eligible for the green travel grant, you must present supporting documents (e.g. bus/train ticket(s), car-sharing declaration) upon completion of the mobility period; therefore, please ensure you keep these safe!  

Outgoing students must arrange their own travel, insurance and accommodation bookings, and are responsible for the associated costs. The Erasmus+ grant may be used freely towards these costs, but the grant is only a contribution towards the mobility period and does not cover the full cost. 

Declaration for Erasmus green travel

Support for students with disabilities or chronic illnesses, and to promote equal opportunities (this is subject to a separate application, but must be submitted alongside the main application) 

Type of mobility 

Supplementary grant in addition to the basic Erasmus+ grant (also applicable in the case of SN) 

Long-term study mobility 

250 EUR/month 

 

You can read more about supplementary funding here:

Valid applications will be scored on the basis of the following:  

  1. A maximum of 70 points can be awarded for academic performance. Scoring is based on the cumulative adjusted credit index, which takes into account performance across all semesters. When calculating the index, both credits passed and credits taken are included in the denominator; therefore, failed modules also affect the result. 
  2. Other professional activities – maximum 30 points 
    These activities are worth a total of 60 points, 50 per cent of which count towards the final mark; therefore, a maximum of 30 points can be awarded. 
  • Learning agreement
  • Confirmation form (Arrival section)
  • Transcript of Records
  • Confirmation of duration (Confirmation Form – Departure section) 
  • Student report 
  • Completion of the EU Survey
  • If you have any questions as a student, you can enquire via the Do It Online platform.

Force majeure refers to an unavoidable external circumstance which prevents an Erasmus+ grant holder from fulfilling the specific conditions attached to the grant or from meeting other obligations (e.g. attendance at face-to-face teaching). 
In such cases, the student may submit a force majeure application to their sending institution. 
Cases of force majeure may include: 
  • natural disasters (earthquakes, fires, epidemics, etc.); 
  • certain political and social events (war, revolution, etc.); 
  • specific measures taken by state authorities (embargoes, boycotts, etc.); 
  • serious illness or accident affecting the participant (medical or hospital certificate) 
Force majeure cannot be invoked in the following cases:  
  • labour disputes; 
  • strikes; 
  • financial difficulties; 
  • visa problems; 
unless these arise directly from a recognised case of force majeure. 
In certain cases, the Consular Service can provide protection to Hungarian citizens who find themselves in difficulty abroad. You can contact them if you lose your documents, become a victim of a crime, or in the event of a medical emergency. Before travelling abroad, it is worth checking the Consular Service’s website to find out where to turn in different situations.  
When and where can a force majeure application be submitted? 
If a force majeure event occurs during your mobility period, you must inform the coordinator at your home institution immediately. 
In addition to reporting the incident, the participating student is required to submit an application via the Neptun system within 15 days, attaching documents supporting the occurrence of the force majeure situation. If additional costs have been incurred in connection with the exceptional situation, reimbursement for these may also be requested in the force majeure application. 
Information on the reimbursement of costs: 
  • If the student has travelled abroad, they are entitled to the scholarship for the duration of their stay abroad, and may also be entitled to the force majeure allowance awarded on the basis of the application. 
  • To claim reimbursement for any expense, you must submit documents evidencing the payment and the amount, or, in the absence of such documents, a signed statutory declaration. 
  • A claim must be made to the service provider for a refund of the costs of services not used (for example, airline tickets not used due to a force majeure situation); this must also be substantiated by email. 
Procedure for submitting force majeure applications 
  1. Upon the occurrence of a force majeure event, the student must immediately notify the coordinator at the sending institution of the force majeure event. 
  2. Within 15 days of the force majeure situation arising, the student must submit an application via the Neptun system using the form provided for this purpose. 
  3. If the sending institution supports the application, it shall forward the documents to the Tempus Public Foundation (TKA) within 30 days, together with a detailed institutional recommendation. 
  4. If the TKA requests additional information, the applicant has 30 days to provide it. If the student has travelled abroad, they are entitled to the force majeure allowance in addition to the pro-rata scholarship corresponding to the actual duration of their stay abroad.
  5. If, based on the TKA’s decision, the case is not deemed to be a force majeure event, then no funding is available to cover force majeure costs. 
  6. If the duration of the mobility period falls short of the mandatory minimum duration, the mobility period is invalid. 
Documents to be submitted 
  • Completed force majeure form (in Excel and signed .pdf or .jpg format) (.xls file) – can be downloaded and uploaded via Neptun 
  • Signed grant agreement 
  • Certificate of duration, if the trip took place 
  • Document certifying completion 
  • When requesting a refund: for each item of expenditure, a document evidencing the payment and the amount; in the absence of such a document, a signed statutory declaration. The form can be downloaded here.  ​As proof of a claim for a refund of the costs of services not used: email correspondence with the service provider.

The host university must submit the Transcript of Records (academic transcript) no later than 90 days after the end of the mobility period.
Submission of credit transfer applications (registration and course selection) via Neptun during the registration period for the first active semester following the mobility period.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, but please note that you must have completed at least one full semester to be eligible to travel.  

Yes, a credit-weighted cumulative average of 3.00 is the minimum requirement for the semester specified in the call for applications.  If your credit-weighted cumulative average is below 3.00, your application will be rejected without further consideration.  

Applications are submitted via the Neptun system in two consecutive rounds. In the first part, you must select the institutions to which you are applying in order of preference. In the second part, you must provide and submit the additional information requested in the application form, as well as upload the documents specified in the call for applications.

Important! Check what language exam or other requirements the university you have chosen stipulates, as you must also meet these. Ensure you have a valid language exam certificate when you travel abroad, if required.

Fontos! Nézz utána, hogy az általad kiválasztott egyetem milyen nyelvvizsgát vagy egyéb feltételeket ír elő, mert azokat is teljesítened kell. Legyen a kiutazáskor érvényes nyelvvizsgád, ha szükséges. 

Yes, but any student who goes abroad during their final semester will have their graduation delayed by one semester, as the Credit Transfer Committee will only be able to decide on the recognition of the modules, credits and marks obtained abroad at the start of the following semester. Furthermore, a condition for going abroad is that you must have at least 21 outstanding credits – excluding the dissertation seminar and the compulsory work placement, as these two do not count towards the 21 credits – and you must also enrol in at least one course during that extra semester.

A B2-level language examination in the language of the intended course of study is a basic requirement for application. The host university may also require other language examinations or specific language proficiency. All certificates attesting to existing language proficiency must be uploaded to the application portal at the time of application.  

If the working language of the mobility programme applied for is English and the student is undertaking a degree programme taught in English, it is not necessary to provide evidence of a B2-level, comprehensive English language examination; however, any specific requirements not set by Corvinus must be met.

If you are self-funded for your studies in Hungary, you will need to finance these yourself whilst studying abroad as well. Apart from this, the university’s general application criteria apply; there are no further conditions. It is important to be aware that an Erasmus+ or other scholarship covers only a portion of the actual costs incurred; you must finance the remainder yourself.

No, it does not; you must indicate your need for a grant when submitting your application.

You’ll find the relevant information under the ‘Partner Universities’ section.

You may only select partner institutions related to your own field of study. The list of academic disciplines is contained in the table ‘subject areas’ .

Regardless of Brexit, UK universities are still included on the partner list, and you can choose any university from this list that is relevant to your field of study.

Yes, but please note that only up to 20 percent of all participants will be offered a place, based on their academic average.

No, as during your study abroad period you must take modules that are relevant to your own degree programme and the level of your studies.

No, you can only apply for a place on a bachelor’s degree programme if you are currently enrolled on a bachelor’s degree programme.

Once you have submitted your application, you cannot change your order of preference.

The marking scheme forms part of the call for applications. It consists of two parts:  

  • Academic results: based on the cumulative (overall) adjusted grade point average – 70%  
  • Professional activities: participation in the TDK (Student Research Programme), academic competitions, teaching assistant work, involvement in student organisations and specialist colleges, participation in programmes supporting the integration of international students, etc. – 30%

The score awarded for academic performance will be based on the cumulative adjusted credit index for the semester specified in the call for applications. This index takes into account performance across all completed semesters and includes both credits earned and credits taken in the calculation.  

The minimum entry score varies from year to year; it depends on the number of students applying in a given year, the number of scholarship places available, and also on which universities applicants submit their applications to, as our partner institutions can only accept a specified number of our students.  

You may select a maximum of 6 institutions and must rank them in order of preference.

The application portal is only accessible once it has opened. To ensure that all documents are available to you when the application process begins, it is advisable to start gathering the documents required to verify other activities (you can find the relevant templates on the website) and to prepare the supporting evidence (such as TDK/OTDK results, competition certificates and language exam certificates) in advance. To find out exactly what you need to prepare, please read the call for applications!

Yes, it does. Corvinus University requires proof of a language examination as a condition of application; therefore, an individual exemption granted by a partner institution is not sufficient. When applying, you must submit an official language certificate corresponding to the language of study abroad. If the working language of the mobility programme you are applying for is English and you are studying on an English-taught programme, it is not necessary to submit a B2-level, comprehensive English language certificate.

You’ll find these in the list of partner institutions, but be sure to check the websites of the universities you’ve selected as well.

You must upload your language exam certificate to the Neptun system when submitting your application.

A language exam certificate is a prerequisite for application; you cannot apply without it, and it cannot be submitted at a later date.

It is definitely worth it, as there are no longer any extra points awarded for language exams; however, a B2-level language exam in the language of instruction is a basic requirement for applying.  If, however, the partner university requires a language exam at a level higher than intermediate, you will not be able to secure a place at that partner institution.

The advanced-level school-leaving certificate is equivalent to a B2 language exam, so this is also acceptable. However, the partner university may request a language exam certificate, which must be presented.

The list of partner universities sets out the requirements for each partner university, and further information can be found on the website of your chosen university. If you find that the information on the list differs from that on the partner university’s website, you can enquire with our staff via the ‘Intézd Online!’ platform.

The 21-credit rule stipulates that you must complete a minimum of 21 credits whilst studying abroad and provide proof of these credits in the semester following your mobility period. Students enrolled on a bachelor’s degree programme or a split or non-split master’s degree programme must declare that, at the start of their studies abroad, they still need to complete at least 21 credits to obtain their degree. Compulsory work placements and specialist seminars cannot be counted towards these 21 credits. This ensures that the semester abroad genuinely meets the academic requirements of the home institution.

An exception to this is the International Business (BSc) programme, where you must complete 30 ECTS if your mobility takes place during the dedicated ‘international semester’!

If you go abroad in your final semester, you will be delayed by one semester due to the recognition of your studies abroad. (Course recognition/credit transfer only takes place after your return, so you must take into account the duration of the domestic recognition process.)  

Course descriptions from universities abroad are available on the official websites of partner institutions or on the information portals maintained by host universities for international students.  

Yes, during a one-semester exchange programme, you must enrol in at least thirty (30) ECTS credits (24 ECTS credits in the case of CEMS), as specified in the ‘LA Before’ section of the learning agreement, and you must achieve this credit total by taking at least five (5) courses.

Yes, provided you meet the conditions of the Scholarship Programme and are eligible for funding, the deferred semester will continue to be funded.  

Check with your course coordinators! Based on the syllabuses from your host university, they will be able to tell you whether the content and assessment of a particular course abroad are accepted as equivalent to their domestic course or not!

Yes, it is possible to take courses that do not appear in the home university’s standard curriculum; however, these courses (as elective modules) can be counted towards your degree. You must always discuss this with the course coordinator in advance!

No. By reviewing the course descriptions, you can check whether the content of the course abroad matches any course you have already completed. If it does, or if it largely overlaps with it, you cannot take it.

It is usually worth visiting the ‘International Office’, ‘International Mobility’, ‘Incoming students’ and ‘Exchange Student’ pages on the website of the partner university abroad to find out more, or to check which modules are available to exchange students. If you cannot find the information there, it is worth contacting the host university directly by email. However, if the partner university requires a language qualification at an intermediate level or higher, you will not be able to secure a place at that partner institution.

You may enrol on any course from the range of courses offered abroad and use these to fulfil any outstanding core curriculum requirements at home, regardless of the semesters specified in the core curriculum. Please note that the core component of the courses you enrol on must be a specialist subject (21 ECTS).

For course enrolment, flexible study arrangements and individual study matters, you can contact your study coordinator via the ‘Intézd Online!’ platform in the ‘Applications’ knowledge base articles, or in person at the student centre during opening hours.

If the course catalogue abroad includes a course relevant to your degree programme that is likely to be equivalent to a Corvinus K/KV course here, check its description and compare it with the syllabus of the corresponding course here. If you find significant overlap between the two, please contact the relevant course coordinator at Corvinus. Send them the syllabus and credit value (ECTS) of the course abroad in question, and clarify whether the home K/KV course can indeed be accepted as its equivalent. If the course coordinator also agrees that the home course can be substituted with the course taken abroad, you must also submit a mandatory annex to the LA, listing the courses to be substituted. This must be signed and stamped by the relevant course coordinator, then sent in scanned form to the Mobility Group via IO! (Pre-mobility tasks/Before the Mobility).

No, there is no need for prior consultation in the case of optional subjects; these will be accepted as optional subjects.

Yes, if you remain in active status whilst studying abroad, you will continue to be eligible for your home study grant.

Students are required to notify the university of their withdrawal from the study placement they have been awarded as soon as possible, but no later than fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of the application decision.

It is possible to extend the autumn semester into the spring semester, but this requires the consent of both the host university and your home university, using the specified template. You must apply for the extension in good time and meet the extension criteria of the Pannónia Scholarship Programme. You must first notify Corvinus of your intention and only contact the partner institution once approval has been granted. The spring semester (which can be extended until 31 August at the latest; the autumn semester cannot be extended) cannot be extended.

For GDPR reasons, we are unable to disclose student information.

No. It is the student’s task and responsibility to organise and arrange these matters.  

No, most of our partner institutions do not have sufficient campus capacity to provide hall of residence accommodation. Furthermore, the application period for halls of residence usually coincides with the nomination period, precisely so that the institution can see by the end of it whether there are any places left. In most cases, accommodation must be arranged by other means.  

Your mobility during a study level may not exceed 360 days.

Yes, during your mobility period, you can take and enrol in courses at home at the same time under a reduced study load; however, it is worth considering carefully that, if you wish to do so, this may involve multiple trips home, clashes with exams and restrictions on your free time abroad. You can find more information about the reduced study load in the ‘Applications’ section of the IO! portal.

Once you have been offered a place, the coordinator at your home institution will contact you to gather the information required for your nomination. Following your nomination, the coordinator at the partner university will also contact you directly. Do NOT contact the host university before they have contacted you! Once contact has been made, please complete the tasks and requirements specified by the host institution (submitting application forms, documents and certificates by the deadline via the designated administrative portal).  If you need assistance from your home university coordinator with these – (for authentication purposes) – you can request help via the ‘Intézd Online!’ platform.

It is a study agreement that all three parties (the student, the home university and the host university) must sign with one another. It is important to emphasise that in the ‘LA Before’, you must enrol in courses totalling exactly 30 ECTS credits, based on the host university’s credit values (where possible, avoid taking fewer or more than this), and by the end of the mobility period, you must have completed at least 21 of these to avoid any repayment obligation should you be receiving financial support. If only low-credit-value modules are available and it is not possible to enrol for 30 credits, or if the partner institution does not specify credit values in ECTS, you must enrol for and successfully complete a minimum of 5 modules.

If the range of courses available at the partner institution is limited and you are unable to enrol for at least 30 credits whilst there, you must submit (via IO!) a letter from the coordinator at the partner institution, or documentation detailing the course offerings and enrolment options, which confirms the existence of this restriction.

Completed LAs can be submitted via the Intézd Online portal, under the ‘Pre-mobility tasks’ section.

LA Before is the preliminary study agreement containing the list of courses chosen by the student at the host university. The course list may be amended once, after arrival, if the courses taken differ from those indicated in advance.

The courses selected in  the ‘LA Before the Mobility’ section can be amended once (!) after arrival at the host institution, provided there are changes to the courses originally indicated.  

If you make any changes to the original Learning Agreement (e.g. dropping or adding a module), you must indicate this in the ‘LA Changes’ section. This document must be signed and stamped by you, Corvinus and the host university, and you must submit it to the Mobility Group via IO! at least 30 days before the end of your mobility period.  

If the host university operates on a trimester system, you must submit the ‘LA Changes’ section by the host institution’s final course registration deadline.

Once the mobility period has ended, no further changes can be made. The LA can only be amended once during the mobility period.  The final LA may only include courses that will also appear on your Transcript of Records.

If there have been no changes compared to the LA Before form you submitted previously, you do not need to submit a separate LA Changes form.

Yes, you can have fewer than 30 ECTS credits in the LA Changes section, but you must complete at least 21 credits during the part-time programme.

If you need an official letter of nomination from Corvinus (some universities may request this), please contact the International Office (IO!) via the online form, providing the following details:

  • name
  • place and date of birth
  • student ID number
  • Neptun code
  • English name of degree programme
  • level of study, current term
  • Exact name of the host institution, name of the semester (autumn/winter/spring)
  • If the partner university requests confirmation that you meet their language proficiency requirements, it is entirely sufficient to attach your official language examination certificate to the documents you submit, as most certificates are bilingual by design. Normally, it is not necessary for Corvinus to issue a separate certificate confirming your language proficiency. If, however, this is not accepted after you have uploaded the documents, you can seek assistance from the International Office (IO!). For the University to issue a certificate, your language proficiency must be correctly recorded in Neptun. The certificate may state the language in which you are undertaking your studies and that you met the minimum B2 language requirement at the time of application. The information required to issue the certificate:
  • English name of the programme
  • language of the programme
  • place and date of birth
  • student ID number
  • Neptun code

The application form may be requested by host institutions from the University following nomination.

Any other documents that may be required for your application (e.g. a transcript or credit certificate – for completed semesters only!) can be downloaded from Neptun with an official stamp. To do this, you can submit form H202; once submitted, the system will generate the transcript within a few minutes, which you can download from Information > Documents > Certified documents.

Before the semester abroad, every successful student must complete the form P509 – Mobility Data Request for the conclusion of a grant agreement in Neptun. This is where you provide details such as the start and end dates of your mobility period, your mode of travel, etc.

It is important that: you provide the details accurately, particularly the dates and mode of travel; you attach a copy of your EU Health Insurance Card, or, if you do not have one, a pre-arranged insurance policy or confirmation;

The Erasmus+ grant is paid in euros (to the bank account number provided in Neptun) as a single lump sum, but only if the following conditions are met:

You have the grant agreement, which has been signed by both you and the university. This can be signed  on paper or digitally (DÁP).  

The Learning Agreement (LA Before) has been signed by all three parties (you, Corvinus and the host institution). (This may be a DÁP signature, via the EWP/OLA dashboard.) You have set up your bank account details in Neptun and have received confirmation of this.

If all the conditions are met, the scholarship will be paid within 30 days of the contract being signed. The payment is made via the Neptun system. This means that the payment is not made automatically upon signing the contract; it is therefore advisable to submit the documents in good time and to ensure that all signatures are in order.

Yes, you must activate your mobility semester in Neptun, even if you are studying abroad. In addition, you must enrol on a technical, 0-credit module called ‘semester abroad’ – depending on whether your programme is taught in Hungarian or English.

On programmes where an international semester is a compulsory requirement, you must also enrol in the 30-credit course ‘International semester’ as set out in the model curriculum.

If you do not enrol in these, your semester will be marked as inactive, as the study system only recognises that you are actively studying on the basis of these – even if you are abroad.

This is an official certificate confirming the duration of your mobility abroad, issued by the host university. It consists of two parts:

Confirmation of Arrival: This confirms the first day of your stay abroad. You must have this signed and stamped by the host university within 7 days of your arrival, then send it to the Corvinus Mobility Group via IO!

Confirmation of Departure: This confirms the last day of your stay abroad. You must submit this within 14 days of your return, also signed and stamped.

It is important that the ‘departure’ date must not be later than the last day on which you were actually required to be present at the host university (e.g. the date of your final exam or the date of your final mark entry).

Participants must complete a report supported by factual information using the standardised online questionnaire (participant report) provided by the European Commission, and must evaluate the mobility activity, covering both the preparation and follow-up phases.

The European Commission automatically sends the EU Survey to participants by email (it can land in the Spam, so check there as well). Responses must be submitted within 30 days of the mobility taking place.

 

Email confirming completion of the EU Survey.
Students are required to complete the online report on their Erasmus+ mobility. They will automatically receive an invitation by email to complete it within one day of the closing date specified in the Grant Agreement. You must submit proof that it has been completed! (If you cannot find the confirmation email, please attach the first page of the completed report.)

Yes, all outgoing students are required to write a mobility report (experience report). This must be prepared using a specific template, signed by hand, and then authenticated by the institution. The report must be submitted in hard copy, with an original signature, in person to the Mobility Team, no later than 30 days after the end of the mobility period.

It is compulsory to submit the Transcript of Records (certificate of academic achievement) issued by the host university. This must be sent to the University within 30 days of the end date of the mobility period.

In the case of study mobility, you must complete at least 21 credits, based on the credit system of the host institution, for your period of study abroad to be considered successful; otherwise, you will be obliged to repay the costs in accordance with the provisions of the Institution’s Regulations on Study Abroad.  

The recognition of modules completed abroad will take place at the start of the first active semester following your mobility, during the registration period, via credit recognition applications submitted in Neptun (Credit Recognition Application from a Foreign Institution – Registration + Credit Recognition Application from a Foreign Institution – Specification of Modules), and this is mandatory. These applications are NOT handled by the Mobility Team; any queries regarding them should be posted on the IO! platform under the knowledge base article ‘Applications > Credit Transfer Application (Credit Recognition)’. Courses completed abroad are always credited by the University for the mobility semester, i.e. retrospectively upon completion of studies abroad. There is a fee for the application, and it is mandatory to have the courses completed abroad recognised here.

If the student fails to initiate this process, they will be required to pay the fee specified in the HTJSZ under the heading ‘Failure to fulfil or delayed fulfilment of other administrative obligations’!  

For students travelling abroad for a dedicated semester as part of their degree programme, the credit recognition process differs from the above. They should consult their programme director or programme coordinator regarding the necessary steps, as a different application must be submitted for these programmes in order to complete the international (and domestic) semester.

If you have any questions, you can find further information on the ‘Intézd Online!’ platform, under ‘International Mobility’, in the ‘Things to do before mobility’ section.
