Erasmus plus 2017/18

GENERAL

Important for Erasmus+ winners

All students:

In order to avoid disappointment with your post-Erasmus credit transfer, well in advance of leaving, you are advised to contact SEAS teachers whose courses you wish to cover by attending directly or partly equivalent courses abroad.
Course descriptions are key in this early evaluation process. When returning home, credit transfer sheets should be submitted to Dr Krisztina Szalay, Director of Studies at SEAS.

Extension students:

Students wishing to extend their Erasmus for their last term before graduation should consider potential final exam scheduling problems due to credit transfer that may take up to 2 months after end of term abroad. Students on an extended Erasmus must have a new Learning Agreement for their new term signed by the co-ordinators as soon as possible.

Institute Ranking 2017-2018

The final decision about where the line is drawn will be made by the Faculty of Humanities in a few weeks. They are going to notify you directly. On the basis of past experience, all of you will probably get in. Those on the reserve list also have a chance if someone steps back from the same university.

Thank you for applying and congratulations.
 

Full semester / Részképzés

Internship / Szakmai gyakorlat

The information here pertains to "részképzés", a semester to be spent studying at a university abroad. 

By contrast, for the short "szakmai gyakorlat" you yourself will need to find and arrange your own internship place and stay. SEAS cannot advise on where to look for internship places and what to pay attention to. SEAS faculty just evaluates your submitted application. Please read the relevant information at https://www.elte.hu/content/erasmus-palyazati-felhivas.t.10950?m=466

APPLICATION

You will need to submit two applications.

Neptun-bound electronic application:

Please follow the guidelines in the ELTE call and ask Mr Sándor Balaci (balaci.sandor@btk.elte.hu) at the International Office, if stuck.

SEAS-bound electronic application:

Procedure:

1. Please fill in the short form at https://goo.gl/forms/b6Kz5Rp4FCebCkrC3

2. First, you will get an e-mail with access to your dedicated SEAS Erasmus+ folder. You will work in this folder. Give your name to the folder. Next, create as many subfolders within this folder as many universities you are applying to. Name these subfolders after each university you are applying to. You will need to upload your application documents into these subfolders. You must finish uploading all your documents by the deadline 4 March 2017.

3. Finally, print out 1 copy of the Erasmus+ Application Form (Pályázati Adatlap) only and sign it in blue ink. Submit it in person to the SEAS Secretariat at R5 357 by 6 March 2017. SEAS Secretariat R5 357 (Office hours Mon-Thu 9-16, Fri 9-13). Please drop your Pályázati Adatlap into the box outside the office.

Important! 

• Please upload into your separate subfolders as many application packages (with all docs) as many universities you are applying to. E.g. If you apply to 2 unis: Bilbao and Lódz, you should create 2 subfolders named "Bilbao" and "Lódz" within your own folder that you should call "Francesca Bishop" if you happen to be called Francesca Bishop. Then you will need to upload all the docs listed right below into these 2 subfolders separately.

  University_Your Name_document type;
