applicationapplyErasmusmobility

The University of Pécs Faculty of Sciences invites applications for participation in the Pannónia Program excellence student study mobility program for the spring semester of the 2025/2026 academic year. Long-term student mobilities for study purposes are student mobilities based on inter-institutional agreements, implemented with the purpose of earning credits, and directed to specific target countries, the duration of which is a minimum of 2 months and a maximum of 5 months.

Within the framework of the Pannónia Program, students who are selected will be given the opportunity to participate in part-time education at one of our partner universities defined in the three country groups. Student mobilities for academic purposes can be implemented in master's, undivided and doctoral study areas and cycles. The study period abroad must be part of the student's study program aimed at obtaining a diploma within any study cycle, and the sending institutions must accept it and fully comply with the curriculum structure in terms of the time of student mobility in a proportional manner. The credit acquisition and recognition process must be recorded in the mobility agreement of the student participating in the mobility.

In the framework of the Pannónia program, students studying abroad also enroll at the home, university, establish active student status, pay any tuition at the home university and receive their regular scholarship for the duration of their stay abroad.

Duration of study mobility abroad: min. 2 months - max. 5 months

Period of study mobility: 15.07.2025 – 31.01.2026.

Scholarship currency: HUF

-100% credit recognition (credits earned abroad are 100% accepted by UP)

- The program/UP/Sending Faculty guarantees recognition of the credits acquired abroad for the students: the activity carried out during the student's study mobility must be accepted by the sending institution and must fully comply with the curriculum structure, thus avoiding possible slippage, which is one of the biggest restraining force among students.
