The Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Programme was launched in 2013 by the Hungarian Government. The core mission of the programme is to increase the number of foreign students in Hungary and to encourage Hungarian higher education institutions to attract top foreign students; currently 80 sending partners are engaged in the programme.

The number of both Stipendium Hungaricum applicants and awardees is continuously increasing, as well as the number of available scholarship places. In 2021, nearly 50 0000 applications were received and more than 4700 scholarships were awarded, showing that since its launch, the Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship has become a programme of excellence. Every year a total number of 40-45 students are awarded this scholarship for our Bachelor, Master and Phd Business programmes.
