Our faculty has been involved in the Erasmus+ programme, the most important mobility programme, since 1996. Nowadays we have bilateral agreements with more than 60 universities all over Europe giving students, teachers and administrative staff the opportunity to attend partner institutions. We send approx. 80 students to our partner universities every year, and receive more and more incoming students each year.

APPLICATION PROCESS

1. NOMINATION BY THE SENDING INSTITUTION 

To be an exchange student, you must apply at your home institution. Once you are selected, your home university coordinator has to nominate you to your host institution. The Faculty of Social Sciences accepts online nominations.

Please nominate your students here!

2. REGISTRATION BY THE STUDENT 

After you were nominated, you will be informed via e-mail about the application process.

STEP 1: Fill in the online application form

STEP 2: Prepare and submit your preliminary course registration form (a preliminary list of courses you wish to attend at ELTE, not equivalent to the Learning Agreement) and send it to the erasmus@tatk.elte.hu e-mail address. Please download the form here.

• The course list for the upcoming semester is AVAILABLE HERE. 

  • Filter the result for ‘Faculty of Social Sciences’, ‘TÁTK-ERASMUS-B_NXXX’ if you are a Bachelor student or ‘TÁTK-ERASMUS-M-NXXX’ if you are a Master student.

  • Ensure that the chosen courses are available in the semester(s) of your mobility.

• Students can attend courses at other faculties of ELTE.  However, at least 2/3 of the total ECTS credits registered for must come from courses taught at the Faculty of Social Sciences, while the remaining 1/3 of ECTS credits can be acquired from courses taught at other ELTE faculties but should not exceed 10 credits. 

• Students can register for courses worth a maximum of 40 ECTS credits at ELTE, while the minimum number of ECTS credits required to be completed is determined by the sending institution.

• Undergraduate (BA/BSc) students may not register for Master’s (MA) courses unless the course also appears in the TÁTK-ERASMUS-B_NXXX list.
  If you wish to follow courses in Hungarian, please contact the International Office via e-mail.
