Study In Hungry: 2023 Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarships For International Students
The Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Programme is now open for international applicants across the globe. The Scholarship was launched in 2013 by the Hungarian Government with the aim of providing opportunities for foreign students to pursue their higher education studies in Hungary.
The core mission of the programme is to increase the number of international students in Hungary and to encourage Hungarian higher education institutions to attract top foreign students.
The scholarship program offers both full-degree and partial study opportunities in the three-cycle degree structure (bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral programmes), mostly in the English language, however, other foreign language study programmes are also available in the frame of the Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Programme.
Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Details:
Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship holders are encouraged to focus on their academic advancement during their stay in Hungary, as all their tuition fees are covered, and their accommodation and living costs are supported as well. Upon finishing their studies, a European degree in hand provides graduates with a wide range of opportunities in the global job market.
Since 2013, the number of Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship holders has grown significantly, at the same time increasing the ratio of self-paying international students in Hungarian universities. Between 2013 and 2019, the ratio of international students studying in Hungarian higher education institutions has doubled, and the ratio of Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship holders among them has quadrupled.
