The semester will start on Monday, 31st of August, with the registration week. The education will continue in a hybrid form: the lectures will be held online, the seminars/laboratory practices will be held in smaller groups on campus.

Please be informed that the payment of scholarship cannot be transfered for the month(s) when you are not in Hungary, students only will be entitled for scholarship payment from the month of arrival, as this amount is for the expenses of living in Hungary.
