2. Target Countries for Mobility, Amount of Support

In the case of student mobility for research at non-higher education institutions, there is no need for a prior framework agreement between the sending higher education institution and the receiving institution/company. Important: If you are going to a university for research purposes, it is required that there is an inter-institutional agreement between the two institutions.

The amount of scholarship that can be awarded under this application depends on the duration and type of the scholarship period, as well as the host country. The support may not necessarily cover the actual incurred costs.

3. Submitting the Application

Applications can be submitted continuously within the time interval specified in point 1, but it is recommended to submit the application at least 2 months before the planned start of the mobility.

The application process consists of two steps:

1. Send the following documents together to pannonia@semmelweis.hu: 

   • Proof of valid student status at the time of submission
   • A support statement signed by the applicant’s supervisor
   • An acceptance letter from the research institution (naming the student, the location, and the time interval)

2. In response, the applicant will receive a link to an online platform, where they can indicate their extracurricular and scientific activities and upload the relevant certifications. 

   • For the list of certifications related to the activities, see the points table.

LIST OF CERTIFICATIONs

The application becomes final once the Application Form, printed from the online platform, is signed and submitted to the Mobility Office via the above email.

4. The Mobility Office Checks the Uploaded Certifications

After the certifications are uploaded and the application form is fully completed, the Mobility Office will check them and manually advance the applicant in the application system. After this, the applicant must upload the signed Application Form to the system as a scanned or photographed copy and also send it electronically to the Mobility Office (pannonia@semmelweis.hu).

Please do not make further changes in the system!

5. Missing Documentation

Missing documents can be submitted once, and they must be sent to the Mobility Office within two working days of the notification (do not upload them to the system). During the application check, the coordinator will specifically draw attention to the missing documents via electronic communication. If the applicant does not correct the error, or corrects it improperly or late, the application will be rejected without further consideration.

6. Evaluation

Applications that are fully submitted will be evaluated within two weeks, and the Mobility Office will notify the applicant in writing (including electronically) about the results.

The university’s goal is to send the most talented and capable students for professional practice abroad, so academic performance, scientific, professional, and community activities, as well as language skills, are decisive in selecting the applicants.

Preference is given to applicants whose mobility is aimed at institutions abroad that are ranked in the top 250 in the Times Higher Education or Quacquarelli Symonds international university rankings.

7. Appeal

If a student disagrees with their preliminary points (calculated differently, or the score is unclear), they can file a written objection, which can be submitted in person to the Directorate of International Relations through the International Mobility Office. The objection must include the data necessary to identify the application, as well as the contested action or omission. The appeal will be presented to an ad hoc committee consisting of the faculty coordinators and the head of the Directorate of International Relations, which will decide on the appeal within 5 working days.
