BME, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Open Day, 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) 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.
