Are you studying at a Hungarian university and hoping to gain international academic experience in 2027? The Hungary Pannónia Scholarship Programme offers opportunities for eligible students to study, conduct research, or complete traineeships abroad through participating Hungarian universities.

Coordinated by the Tempus Public Foundation, the programme supports international mobility and academic development. Several universities, including the University of Debrecen, Óbuda University, and Semmelweis University, have announced opportunities for the 2026/27 academic year.

However, there is an important distinction: the standard Pannónia Scholarship is primarily designed for students enrolled at participating Hungarian institutions who want to travel abroad. It is not generally a scholarship for international applicants seeking to begin a complete degree in Hungary.

What Is the Hungary Pannónia Scholarship 2027?

The Pannónia Scholarship Programme supports eligible students undertaking international study, research, and professional training. Applications are managed through participating Hungarian universities rather than one universal application process.

Available opportunities depend on your university, academic status, mobility category, and destination.

Students should first consult their university's international office to identify an appropriate call and confirm eligibility before contacting a potential host institution.

Who Can Apply for the Pannónia Scholarship?

Eligibility varies between universities and mobility categories. International nationality alone does not guarantee eligibility.

University of Debrecen Applicants

Debrecen's research mobility call accepts eligible active master's and doctoral students. Students enrolled in undivided programmes generally need to have completed seven semesters.

Applicants must be Hungarian citizens or hold a valid residence permit covering the application and travel period, according to the published call.

Semmelweis University Applicants

Semmelweis University applies its own citizenship and residence requirements. Applicants should review its specific mobility instructions rather than assume that another university's eligibility rules apply.

Óbuda University Applicants

Óbuda University offers outgoing exchange opportunities through its institutional application process. Students receiving the Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship may be restricted to short-term mobility under the relevant rules.

Important: Confirm your current enrolment status, residence eligibility, existing scholarship conditions, and permitted mobility duration before applying.

Which Universities Offer Pannónia Scholarship Opportunities for 2027?

Several Hungarian universities have announced calls for the 2026/27 academic year, with different application stages.

• University of Debrecen: Research mobility lasting two to five months, with monthly application opportunities.
• Óbuda University: A spring 2026/27 exchange call with an outgoing application portal.
• Semmelweis University: A study-mobility application window scheduled for November–December 2026.
• University of Pécs: A spring 2027 Excellence mobility call that closed on 12 October 2026.
• Budapest University of Economics and Business (BGE): A published long-term study mobility call whose listed round closed on 8 April 2026.

These opportunities do not share one national deadline. Applicants should check their university's international office website for new rounds and category-specific requirements.

Pannónia Scholarship Benefits and Monthly Stipends

The programme offers financial support for eligible international mobility. Grant amounts depend on the funding category and destination.

Standard Long-Term Mobility

Published grant ranges generally fall between HUF 350,000 and HUF 400,000 per month, depending on the destination.

Excellence Mobility

Excellence mobility generally offers approximately HUF 450,000 to HUF 500,000 per month, with additional tuition, travel, or accommodation support available under the applicable rules.

These amounts should not be treated as identical benefits across all universities. Some costs may remain the student's responsibility. For example, a host institution may waive tuition while the student continues paying fees to their home university.

Before accepting an offer, calculate your expected accommodation, transport, insurance, and living expenses against the grant available for your destination.

nages applications through My Semmelweis.
