You will be automatically eligible for ERASMUS exchange once you have enrolled on one of IBS's Bachelor programmes and completed the minimum credits necessary (see the step-by-step guide for details). We recommend that students choose their second year of study for the Erasmus exchange, but higher year students are also allowed to take part.

The period you spend at our partner institution will be accepted by IBS. You will need to study subjects which are as similar to your own curriculum as possible - should this cause any problems, IBS will provide the highest flexibility in module acceptance. If you cannot register for some of your compulsory modules at the partner institution, you will be offered special tuition and exams by IBS.

Outgoing Erasmus students pay their normal tuition fee at IBS - you will not have to pay for the tuition at the receiving institution! You only have to cover the costs of living in the given country, for which IBS will, thanks to the Tempus Foundation, provide you with a grant.

You can still apply for Semester 2 of the 2012/2013 academic year at the Student Centre.
Deadline: 30 September 2012.
Please contact Etelka Dombora (edombora@ibs-b.hu).
