CALL FOR APPLICATION

The University of Pécs calls for applications for participating in the Pannónia Scholarship Program Student Mobility for Learning Programme for fall semester of the 2026/2027 academic year I. semester

The purpose of the call for applications:

Long-term student mobilities for study purposes are student mobilities based on inter-institutional agreements, implemented with the purpose of obtaining credits, and directed to specific target countries, the duration of which is a minimum of 2 months and a maximum of 5 months.

Student mobilities for academic purposes can be implemented in any study area and cycle, including doctoral training. The study period abroad must be part of the student's study program aimed at obtaining a diploma within any study cycle, and the sending institutions must accept it and fully comply with the curriculum structure in terms of the time of student mobility in a proportional manner. The credit acquisition and recognition process must be recorded in the mobility agreement of the student participating in the mobility.

While studying abroad within the framework of the Pannónia Scholarship Programme, students study abroad remain enrolled at their home institution, keep an active student status, pay any applicable tuition fees at home, and continue to receive their regular scholarships during the mobility period.

Duration of study mobility abroad: minimum 2 months - maximum 5 months (62-150 days)

Period of study mobility: 24 August, 2026 – 5 February, 2027

Currency of the scholarship: HUF

Scholarship disbursement: 90% pre-financing – 10% post-financing

Pannónia Scholarship Program students studying abroad:

• spend 2-5 months abroad (depending on the year they are in and the partner institution);
• do not pay tuition fee at the receiving institution; however may be obliged to pay registration/administration fee (mainly at German universities);
• enrol at the home university, establish an active student status, pay any applicable tuition fees to their home university, and receive their grants for the period of studying abroad;
• do not obtain their degree before ending the mobility;
• 100% credit recognition (credits earned abroad are 100% accepted by PTE)

The program/PTE/Sending Faculty guarantees recognition of the credits earned abroad for the students: the activity carried out during the student's study mobility must be accepted by the sending institution and must fully comply with the curriculum structure, thus avoiding possible slippage, which is one of the biggest deterrent among students.

The conclusion of the Support Agreement is only possible if there is a Learning Agreement signed by all three parties. Completion and compliance with the courses agreed in the Learning Agreement is binding for both the student and the institutions.

Diverse mobility options available across the globe!
