Academic matters

What is a passive semester?

A passive semester means that you do not have an active student status within the given semester, so you do not have to attend classes or take exams. As a self-funded student, you are also exempt from paying tuition fees during this period. However, this also means that you cannot apply for a scholarship or a student loan, and you will not have a valid student ID. Additionally, the University of Miskolc does not guarantee accommodation in the dormitory during a passive semester.

Can I postpone the start of my studies?

Yes, but you need to fill out a request form. You must sign the completed request form and return it to the university via email, and your faculty will evaluate it. If you decide to postpone your studies, please contact your faculty and the International Relations Office. The University of Miskolc can accept postponement requests until the end of September of each academic year.
