Overview:
Stipendium Hungaricum is Hungary’s most prestigious higher education scholarship programme, launched by the Hungarian Government to support talented international students. It offers fully funded opportunities to study at top Hungarian universities. In general, students can apply for all study levels — bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral programmes. Some fields are available both as full degree options and as partial (exchange) studies. However, the exact types of programmes available to applicants from each country depend on the bilateral agreement between Hungary and the Ministry of Education (or relevant authority) of the applicant’s home country.
