General information

The Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Programme was launched in 2013 by the Hungarian Government with the aim of providing opportunities for international students to pursue their higher education studies in Hungary. The scholarship programme is managed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and co-ordinated by Tempus Public Foundation. The programme is based on bilateral educational cooperation agreements signed between the Ministries responsible for education in the sending countries/territories and Hungary. The Sultanate of Oman is currently provided with 50 scholarship places per academic year.

The complete Call is available on the official website of SH:

 

 

The scholarship program offers both full degree and partial study opportunities in the three-cycle degree structure (bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral programmes), mostly in the English language; however, other foreign language study programmes are also available. Students can also apply for a one-year Hungarian language preparatory training course, following which they can pursue their higher education studies in the Hungarian language.

Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship holders are encouraged to focus on their academic advancement during their stay in Hungary, as all their tuition fees are covered, and their accommodation and living costs are supported as well. Upon finishing their studies, a European degree in hand provides graduates with a wide range of opportunities in the global job market.

The number of Stipendium Hungaricum applicants and awardees is continuously increasing, as well as the number of available scholarship places. In 2024, more than 66,000 applications were received, and nearly 4,500 scholarships were awarded, showing that since its launch, the Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship has become a programme of excellence.
