The programme supports the internationalisation efforts of Hungarian higher education institutions as well as the implementation of high-quality mobilities, which opens up the world for students and staff, and strengthens the competitiveness of Hungarian institutions in the international higher education landscape.

pannonia-osztondij-infografika-en.webpThe Hungarian Government’s higher education scholarship programme provides opportunities for beneficiaries (Hungarian higher education institutions) to establish meaningful international partnerships with other higher education institutions and their legal entities (training and research centres, public and private organizations, etc.) through bilateral agreements. Students and staff can apply for outgoing mobilities in their own institutions. The programme is coordinated by the Tempus Public Foundation and its funding is provided by the Hungarian government.

2024 marks the start of the Pannónia Scholarship Programme’s first phase, with a budget of HUF 10 billion, providing mobility opportunities for around 8,000 higher education students and staff. Around 200 students among them will have the opportunity to study at the world's top universities with the Excellence Programme.

What makes the Pannónia Scholarship Programme unique?  

Full recognition of credits
The programme guarantees the full recognition of credits earned abroad: every course completed during the student's study mobility must fully comply with the curricular and will be accepted by the sending institution to avoid study delays.

Diverse learning and teaching opportunities around the world
Due to the many mobility types offered by the programme, every participant can find the one that best suits their needs. The programme supports popular short-term mobilities such as conference attendances or summer universities.

A chance to study at the world’s best institutions:
The Pannónia Scholarship Programme offers high-achieving students the opportunity to study at one of the top 250 higher education institutions (according to the Times Higher Education and Quacquarelli Symonds international higher education rankings). The Excellence Programme is open to students pursuing a masters and doctoral degree or studying in an integrated, one-tier master program.
