Long-term mobility for study purposes

After you have been accepted, the coordinator at your home institution will contact you to collect the information necessary for your nomination. After your nomination, the coordinator at the partner university will also contact you directly. Do not contact the foreign university before you are contacted! After you have been contacted, complete the tasks and requirements specified by the host institution (submit application forms, certificates, and other documents by the deadline on the specified administrative platform).  

If you need the assistance of your coordinator at home (for authentication purposes), you can request help on the Do It Online! platform. 

It is a study contract that must be concluded between all three parties (student, home university, and host university). It is important to emphasize that in LA Before, you must enroll in exactly 30 ECTS worth of courses based on the credit values of the host university (there should be no less or more than this) and complete at least 21 of these by the end of your mobility period in order to avoid any repayment obligations if you are receiving financial support. If only low-credit courses are available and 30 credits cannot be taken, or if the partner does not determine the values in ECTS, then a minimum of 5 courses must be taken and completed. 

If the partner has limited course offerings and you are unable to take at least 30 credits, you must send (via Do It Oonline!) a letter from the coordinator abroad containing the course offerings and admission options, which includes the restriction as well. 

You can submit your completed LA on the Do It Online platform, under the topic “Before the mobility.”

LA Before is the preliminary study agreement in which all the courses the student wants to study at the host university. The list of courses can be modified only once, after arrival if the finally selected courses differ from the initially selected courses. 

The courses listed in the LA Before the Mobility section can be modified once (!) after arrival at the host university if there are changes to the courses you previously selected. 

If you make any changes to the original Learning Agreement (e.g., drop or add a course), you must indicate this in the LA Changes section. This document must be signed and stamped by you, Corvinus, and the host university, and then submitted to the Student Mobility Team via Do It Online! 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 last day of course registration at the host institution. 

No changes can be made after the end of the mobility period. The LA can only be changed once during the mobility period.  

Only those courses that appear on your Transcript of Records may be included in the final LA. 

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

Yes, in the LA Changes section there can be less than 30 ECTS, but you must complete at least 21 credits during the partial study programme. 

If you need an official letter of nomination from Corvinus (some universities may request this), please write to the Do It Online! providing the following information: 

• name
• place and date of birth
• educational ID
• Neptun code
• English name of the study programme at Corvinus
• level of education, current semester
• exact name of the foreign institution, name of the semester (autumn/winter/spring)

If the host university requests proof that you meet their language requirements, it is sufficient to attach your official language exam certificate to the documents to be submitted, as most certificates are bilingual. In most cases, it is not necessary for Corvinus to issue a separate language proficiency certificate. If your certificate is not accepted after uploading it, you can ask for help at the Do It Online! For the certificate issued by the University, your language skills must be correctly listed in Neptun. The certificate can state the language in which the student is studying and that they met the minimum B2 language requirement at the time of application. Information required to issue the certificate: 

• English name of the study programme at Corvinus
• language of the study programme
• place and date of birth
• educational ID
• Neptun code

The application form can be requested from the University by external institutions following nomination. 

You can download any other documents that may be required for your application (e.g., Transcript/Credit Certificate for completed semesters only!) from Neptun with authentication. To do this, you can submit the H202 request; after submission, the system will generate the transcript within a few minutes, which you can download from Information>Documents>Certified Documents. 

Before the semester abroad, all successful students must fill out the form: P509 – Mobility Data Request for Grant Agreement in Neptun. This is where you provide information such as the start and end dates of your mobility, your mode of travel, etc. 

It is important that you: 

• enter the data accurately, especially the dates and mode of travel; 
• attach a photo of your EU health insurance card or, if you do not have one, a pre-signed insurance policy/confirmation. 

The Pannónia scholarship is paid in Hungarian forints, in a single installment, but only if the following conditions are met: 

•  You have a grant agreement signed by both you and the university. Only the original, paper version, signed in blue ink, in triplicate, is valid. Digital versions are not accepted.  
• The Learning Agreement (LA Before) has been signed by all three parties (you, Corvinus, and the host institution). 
• You have set up your bank account number in Neptun and received confirmation of this. 

If all conditions are met, the scholarship will be transferred within 30 days after signing the contract. The transfer will be made via the Neptun system. This means that the transfer will not be made automatically upon signing the agreement, so it is advisable to submit the application in good time and 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 also take a technical, 0-credit course called “semester abroad” or “külföldi félév” – depending on whether your study programme is in Hungarian or English. 

In programmes where an international semester is mandatory, you must also take the 30-credit course “International semester” according to the sample curriculum. 

If you do not take these courses, your semester will be marked as inactive, as the academic system only recognizes you as an active student if you take these courses, even if you are studying abroad.

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

• Confirmation of Arrival: This certifies the first day of your mobility. You must have it signed and stamped by the host university within 7 days of your arrival, then send it to the Student Mobility Team at Do It Online! 
• Confirmation of Departure: Confirms the last day of your mobility. This must be submitted within 14 days of your return, also signed and stamped. 

It is important that the “departure” date is not later than the last day on which you were actually required to be present at the host university (e.g., the date of your last exam or the date of registration). 

Yes, writing a mobility report (experience report) is mandatory for all outgoing students. It must be prepared according to a specific template, signed by hand, and then certified by the institution. The report must be submitted in paper form, with an original signature, in person to the Student Mobility Team, no later than 30 days after the end of the mobility period. 

The sending institution may reclaim an amount equivalent to 30 days’ worth of support from students who fail to submit their report, which the student is obliged to repay to the institution’s bank account within 15 days of the institution’s request. 

It is mandatory to submit the Transcript of Records (certificate of academic performance) issued by the host university. This must be sent to the University within 90 days after the end date of the mobility period. 

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

The recognition of courses completed abroad will take place at the beginning of the first active semester following mobility, during the registration period, by submitting Credit Transfer Request from a Foreign Institution – Registration + Credit Transfer Request from a Foreign Institution – Course Entry during the registration period at the beginning of the first active semester following your mobility. These requests are NOT handled by the Student Mobility Team; questions related to them can be submitted on the Do It Online! interface under “Requests< Credit Transfer Request (Credit Recognition)” knowledge base article. Courses completed abroad are always credited by the University for the mobility semester, i.e. retroactively after the completion of studies abroad. The request is subject to a fee, and courses completed abroad must be accepted at home. 

If the student fails to initiate this, the fee specified in the RSFP, entitled “Failure to fulfill/delayed fulfillment of other administrative obligations” must be paid.  

For students who travel abroad for a semester dedicated to their major, the credit transfer process differs from the above. They should consult with the study programme leader or study programme coordinator regarding the steps to be taken, as a different application must be submitted for the completion of an international (and domestic) semester in these majors. 

If you have any questions, please visit the Do It Online! interface, under International Mobility> Before the mobility section.
