Introduction:

Stipendium Hungaricum is a Hungarian Government scholarship program for international students. It offers scholarships for Bachelor’s, Master’s, One-Tier Master’s, and PhD studies in Hungary. Pakistan is one of the participating countries.

Benefits:

The scholarship provides a tuition fee waiver, monthly stipend, accommodation support or a contribution toward accommodation, and medical insurance. It also provides students with the opportunity to study at Hungarian universities and earn internationally recognized degrees.

Eligibility criteria:

For Pakistani applicants, eligibility depends on the study level. For a Master’s programme, applicants must have completed or be completing a 16-year Bachelor’s degree. Final-semester and result-awaiting students were allowed to apply for the 2026–27 intake, but they had to submit their final degree and transcript by 1 August 2026. Some Hungarian universities may require IELTS or TOEFL, while others may accept an English proficiency certificate from the applicant’s previous university.

Documents required:

The required documents generally include the online application form, academic transcripts and certificates, passport, study plan, and language-proficiency proof where required. Depending on the programme, a recommendation letter and additional documents may also be required. PhD applicants may need a research proposal and a statement from a potential supervisor. Pakistani applicants must submit applications through both the Stipendium Hungaricum portal and the HEC portal.
