For Incoming Exchange Students
Nomination
To be able to spend an exchange mobility period at the Ludovika University of Public Service (as an Erasmus+ or International exchange student) your home university must have an active bilateral agreement with LUPS in the subject area of your studies. Your home university must also nominate you officially for an exchange place under the terms of this agreement (e.g., total number of students, months of mobility, study level, etc…). Instructions will be provided via e-mail to all partners.
Nomination deadlines for partner Universities (not students) are:
First semester/full year: 30th of April
Second semester: 30th of November
Application form and registration
The online application form is now open for 2024-2025 incoming exchanges (Erasmus+ study and traineeship; global exchanges). To access the forms and platforms, please follow the application instructions the International Office sent via e-mail.
Deadline for first semester or full year: 15th of June 2024
Deadline for second semester: 30th November 2024
If you need help registering on the portal (in case of technical difficulties), please contact us via international.exchange@uni-nke.hu.
Only applications from officially nominated students in the frame of current existing agreements will be accepted. You will receive an e-mail confirming acceptance once the application is reviewed. We kindly ask you to be patient, as checking all applications may require several days.
Academic information
1. Course catalogue: Updated course catalogues of the faculties are available here.
2. Academic calendar: Academic year 2024-2025 will be available here.
3. Learning Agreement:
The Learning Agreement – Study Plan lists all the courses you wish to attend during your mobility period. This document has to be approved and signed by your home University and your relevant Faculty Coordinator at LUPS. Make sure to contact the appropriate person before arriving, especially in the case of particular study projects, such as internships or thesis research.
The deadline for signing your Learning Agreement depends on your home university schedule. However, both institutions must approve any changes before starting the exam sessions at LUPS.
Erasmus+ Online Learning Agreement (OLA): Currently, our system is not fully connected to the EWP network. During this phase, incoming students must send their Learning Agreement by email to each relevant Faculty Coordinator for approval.
A learning agreement is mandatory only for Erasmus students. International exchange students are highly recommended to compile one.
