It is possible to transfer between two higher education institutions if you wish to continue your studies at the Budapest University of Economics and Business (BGE).
There are two types of transfer procedures – please make sure to choose the one that fits your situation, and follow the corresponding rules and steps carefully.
If you are a Stipendium Hungaricum student, please refer to Section 2.
Students who are currently enrolled as active, self-financed students at another higher education institution and wish to continue their studies at Budapest University of Economics and Business (BGE) may apply for an international transfer.
Important: applicants for both Bachelor's and Master's programmes must have successfully completed at least 30 ECTS credits at their current institution before a transfer application can be considered. Transfer eligibility is evaluated on an individual basis, taking into account the applicant’s academic performance and completed coursework. Please note that fulfilling the minimum credit requirement alone does not guarantee admission.
