Erasmus+

If your application is approved by your home university to study at the University of Miskolc, our Erasmus assistant contacts you via email to inform you about the things to do.
After the online registration, you choose your favourite courses from the course list and prepare the Learning Agreement. The completed and signed Learning Agreement shall be forwarded to our Erasmus assistant. 

As soon as our university accepts your application and study programme, a Letter of Acceptance is sent to you, with the completely filled and signed Learning Agreement. You receive a Grant Agreement that should be carefully filled, then forwarded to our Erasmus assistant.
It is strongly recommended that you get health insurance to cover your study period in Hungary. You are also recommended to purchase medical insurance in your home country (in this case you will be requested to pay for your treatment on the spot and your medical expenses will be refunded by your insurance company).
Scholarship is transferred to your bank account after processing the completely filled and signed Grant Agreement.

Mentor system

The students of ESN will provide you every assistance during apartment search or everyday activities. Before arriving in Miskolc, you will be contacted by an assigned mentor student. You can read more about the ESN by clicking the link below.

The study programmes are arranged by the faculty coordinators, they will help you in all study matters. At the orientation meeting, you will get the exact contact hours of the coordinators. 

You can choose courses from different faculties, but remember that the form of teaching can be different too: 

• individual contact hours with the teachers (faculties of mechanical engineering and informatics, law, arts);
• studying with Hungarian students (faculties of economics, arts – English and German studies, sociology);
• studying with other  (non-Erasmus) international students (faculties of earth science, materials science, mechanical engineering and informatics). 

Learning agreements can be changed in the first 3 weeks of the lecture period. The modifications have to be fixed in the Changes to the LA document, it has to be taken to the Erasmus Office for signature and sending to your home university.

You can study languages (English, Hungarian, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian) free of charge and get credits.

At the beginning of your studies you will be given a NEPTUN code. The only occasion when you have to use your Neptun code will be in the middle of the semester when you have to register your final courses on our website.

At the end of your studies, you will get a final Transcript of Records about the courses you studied and the grades and credits you received here. The Transcript of Records will be issued once you return the Study Records form to the Erasmus Office. The Study Records should be filled in and signed by all of your teachers.

The Transcript of Records will also contain the duration of your studies in Miskolc. Please note that we will certify the real duration of your studies, not a longer period, especially not an extra month. Students usually arrive in early September/February, and leave late December/May, which is 3.5 – 4 months worth of Erasmus+ grant.
