International relations BME, 2015 International relations PRIORITY – Student (Professor) exchange Background: Education in 4 (5) languages English – since mid 1980-ties (regular, exchange foreign + Hungarian students, about 1000 ) French – since early 1990-s (about 30-100 mainly Hungarian students) German – since mid 1990-s (about 100-200 mainly Hungarian students) Hungarian Russian (until mid 2000-s)

BME, 2015 English Education (since 1980-es). 5 BSc courses + 12 MSc courses + a list (more or less stable) of additional subjects for local and exchange students. Incoming students* Regular (since1980-es, degree seekers, tuition fee). 300 (Iran, Turkey, Nigeria**). Brazil (Science without Borders, since 2013, exchange students, tuition fee). 400. Erasmus (since 1990-es, exchange students, no tuition fee). 300. (Spain, France, Germany). Others. (with and without tuition fee). 200. New: Stipendium Hungaricum 30 (but there will be 1000s of Hungarian governmental scholarships nationwide). * Approximate numbers / year of students attending at least 1 semester. ** Here and later we give the most involved countries.

BME, PAHTHER project, kick-off meeting, Warsaw, February 2015 Outgoing students Politics: BME would like to preserve its best students for the full training (BSc + MSc + PhD), but we understand that international experience is a „must” nowadays. So university organizes different type of exchange programs from short (1-2 weeks) through medium (1-2 semesters) to long (2 years, 2 diplomas). Financial support is important. Some programs: Erasmus+ (since 1990-es). More than 300 bilateral agreements. 300 academic outgoing student (Spain, Germany) + 100 internships. Campus Hungary (since 2012). Mobility of students in 4 categories: short (less than 1 month), long (1 semester), group visits, internship to any country of the World.* * There are more categories, money for Non-Central-Hungarian Regions. BME details next page.
