Important Notes
The Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship is applied for through your home country's nominating authority (usually the Ministry of Education) — not directly through Hungarian universities.
Hungarian medical schools (Semmelweis, Pécs, Debrecen) are popular globally for English-medium programs — the February deadline is firm and seats fill in November–December.
Non-EU students need a Hungarian student residence permit — apply at the immigration office within 30 days of arrival.
