The Department of Dutch Studies is part of the CEEPUS network Language and Literature in a Central European context (coordinating institution: University of Vienna), with Dr. Tamás Balogh as Departmental CEEPUS Coordinator (This email address is being protected from spambots.

The other research unit which participates in CEEPUS networks is the Department of General Humanities (Institute of Arts Studies and General Humanities). The departmental coordinator is Dr. Miklós Vassányi (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ; tel. 30/831-9382). The Department of General Humanities is a member of the two following CEEPUS-networks: Study of Religions (coordinating institution: University of Szeged) and Inter-American Studies (coordinating institution: University of Graz).
 
Among the members of the Study of Religions network are Central-European universities like the University of Vienna, Masaryk University (Brno), Jagiellonian University (Kraków), Comenius University (Bratislava), the University of Szeged (Hungary) etc. The Inter-American Studies network comprises members as the University of Graz, the University of Zagreb, the University of Belgrade, the University of Ljubljana, and several more.
 
The CEEPUS networks offer an opportunity for instructors to teach for a week in foreign universities within the network, and to receive the visit of foreign instructors at their home universities. They also enable BA and MA students to spend entire semesters studying abroad while short study stays of one month and summer universities of one or two weeks are also possible. Application deadlines are in the middle of September and at the end of October; use the online registration and application forms at the dedicated website of the CEEPUS programme: https://www.ceepus.info.
 
If interested, please inquire at the above-indicated coordinators.

Accommodation

The University’s student residence is an independent institution providing services to the student population. It offers only a very limited number of rooms to the incoming students in the dormitory in Ráday Street. Every room is shared. There are places for two students in each room. The rooms are furnished and equipped with a little bathroom. The students have access to a kitchen and a recreational area with a TV-room. The rooms cost a gross of 30.000 HUF/month/person (cca. € 120,-) including sheets and blankets. Payments have to be made either by bank transfer or by cash.

The only way to apply for a room is to send the filled-in “Student Accomodation Form” to the International Office. (Address: H-Budapest 1091, Kálvin tér 9. Tel.: + 36 1 455 9060;
Fax: + 36 1 455 9062; e-mail: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. )

Unfortunately, as mentioned above, due to the limited number of rooms available, the International Office of the University is unable to guarantee that every Erasmus student will get a room in the student residence.

Students will be sent written notification stating whether or not their application has been succesful; this note will be sent to them together with the Application Form for Studies.

If you could not get a place in the University dormitory it is suggested that you rent a flat or share a rented flat, which is what most international students do.

The International Office of the KRE will provide all possible assistance to students in finding appropriate lodging.
