The Erasmus+ Program at Kodolányi

The staff of the International Relations Center handle matters related to the Erasmus+ program.

Since our colleagues are located at both the Székesfehérvár and Budapest campuses, please contact them first via email at erasmus@kodolanyi.hu so that the colleague responsible for this matter can respond.

Within the framework of the Erasmus+ program, students can participate in study and internship mobility through an application process.

A student is eligible for a total of 12 months of mobility per academic cycle, combining study and internship mobility.

Based on this:

If a student enrolled in a higher education vocational program is subsequently admitted to a bachelor’s degree program, they are eligible for a total of 12 months of Erasmus+ mobility for these two periods of study. (Higher education vocational programs and bachelor’s degree programs belong to the same cycle.)
Students enrolled in specialized continuing education programs are also eligible for mobility, provided that the program belongs to the same cycle as a bachelor’s degree program.
If a student is pursuing two bachelor’s programs simultaneously, they are still eligible for a total of 12 months.
If a student is already enrolled in a master’s program but participated in any mobility program as an undergraduate student, they are still eligible for 12 months of mobility, since undergraduate and master’s programs are considered separate cycles.

The Erasmus+ grant is available to all students who meet the criteria set by the Erasmus+ program and who are selected by their institution to pursue Erasmus+ studies at a partner institution abroad or to participate in an Erasmus+ professional internship at a company abroad.

As an Erasmus+ student, you are entitled to the following:

A Learning Agreement, which is signed by the sending and receiving institutions and the student before the student’s departure. This tripartite agreement outlines the details of the planned studies or internship abroad, including the number of credits to be earned.
Transcript of Records, issued by the host institution at the end of the studies abroad. This document will include the results achieved, as well as the credits earned and grades received.
The sending institution recognizes the credits earned during the Erasmus+ study period, provided they are in accordance with the provisions of the Learning Agreement.
The student is exempt from paying tuition, registration, exam, laboratory usage, or library fees at the host institution for the duration of the Erasmus+ studies.
As a scholarship student, the student receives a scholarship from the sending institution for the duration of the stay abroad.

Erasmus students’ obligations:

Compliance with the rules and regulations of the grant agreement.
Immediately reach a written agreement with the sending and receiving institutions regarding any changes affecting the Learning Agreement.
In accordance with prior agreements, to complete the entire mobility period at the host institution/internship site (including the period of exams or other forms of assessment), and to respect the rules and regulations of the host institution/internship site.
Completing the OLS test is mandatory prior to the mobility period and recommended after its completion.
Complete and submit the online report on your Erasmus+ studies or internship within two weeks of your return.

Basic rules for the Erasmus grant:

Students from Hungarian higher education institutions may travel to European Union countries, as well as to Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Norway, and Turkey, with an Erasmus+ grant. A citizen of a participating country who is temporarily residing in another participating country to pursue higher education studies is eligible to travel to their country of origin under the Erasmus+ mobility program; however, when evaluating applications, these applications must be given the lowest priority.
The duration of the scholarship may be extended only if the student’s studies abroad are continuous.
To ensure full recognition of the studies, the partner institutions must agree in writing with each student prior to departure on the study program (tripartite Learning Agreement) that the student must complete at the host institution during the Erasmus+ study period. The sending institution counts this toward the student’s academic requirements at home. The sending institution may not, under any circumstances, require the student to defer coursework or take a make-up exam in the same subject due to the completion of their Erasmus+ studies.
The duration of the internship is a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 12 months; the mobility period may be counted toward the student’s studies, in which case the criteria specified in the model curriculum must be met; however, students may apply for an internship mobility even if a mandatory internship is required—in this case, the mobility period does not need to be counted toward their studies.

Students are eligible for an Erasmus+ grant if they:

maintain continuous student status throughout the entire duration of the Erasmus+ period and are enrolled in a degree or certificate program at the institution
have already completed the first semester of their undergraduate studies, meaning they have completed at least one semester before beginning their studies abroad,
is a registered student at the sending institution (KJE) for the entire duration of the Erasmus+ study mobility grant and has not yet earned their degree or diploma either before or during the student exchange (except for post-degree internships),
is enrolled in a higher education vocational program, bachelor’s, or master’s program at the sending institution (KJE),
is enrolled in a full-time, part-time, or distance learning program at the sending institution (KJE),
is a Hungarian citizen or holds a valid residence or stay permit in Hungary, or has refugee status
is selected by the sending institution for an Erasmus+ scholarship, or for whom the host institution can provide an appropriate study program

Can students choose where they would like to participate in the Erasmus+ program?

Students may study at foreign higher education institutions that have an agreement with the sending institution within the framework of the program (see Erasmus+ Partner Institutions).
From among the available options, students may choose the institution and country that best suit their interests and language skills.
In the case of a professional internship, it is primarily the student’s responsibility to secure (find) the foreign organization (company, foundation, firm, etc.) that will host them for the internship. The university and the student enter into a simple tripartite agreement with the company, which is a prerequisite for the disbursement of the scholarship.
