The Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Program was launched in 2013 by the Hungarian Government. The core mission of the program is to increase the number of foreign students in Hungary and to encourage Hungarian higher education institutions to attract top foreign students; currently 41 sending partner countries are engaged in the program.

Thousands of students from all around the world apply for higher educational studies in Hungary each year. In the academic year 2016/2017 approximately 3000 students can begin their studies in Hungary within the framework of the Stipendium Hungaricum Program.

This year the University of Pécs hosts over 200 international students through the Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Program and set the strategic aim to raise this number in the upcoming Academic Year.

Stipendium Hungaricum scholarships are available for bachelor, master, one-tier master, doctoral and non-degree programmes (preparatory and specialisation courses). Both full-time and part-time study modes are available in case of bachelor, master, one-tier master and doctoral studies.

The online application system opens in January 2016. The deadline for submitting the complete application package is 1 March 2016.
