At the University of Pécs, extension requests cannot be submitted under the Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Programme. Instead, scholarship holders at the end of their final semester may submit a tuition reduction request (as fee-paying students). Each registrar’s office will decide based on their policy.
Steps of the procedure:
A student whose scholarship status ends on July 31, 2025 (or in a later semester) can only continue their studies as a self-financed student.
When their scholarship status expires, and they require additional semesters to finish their studies, the registrar's office will send a notification to all affected students along with the "student statement on changing the financial mode of studies to tuition-paying status" document. If students wish to apply for a tuition fee reduction, first, they must agree to continue their studies as self-funded students by returning the above-mentioned document signed to the registrar's office (by August 10 at the latest).
If a student undertakes to continue their studies at their own expense, the registrar's office uploads the signed statement to the student's official records in Neptun, and a tuition fee will be levied.
Students can enrol in the next semester only under self-financed status
(after 10 August).The semester's full tuition fee will be levied on the student.
The student may submit a tuition fee reduction request to the registrar's office in accordance with faculty rules, provided the faculty supports such requests.
The registrar's office will decide on the request:
a, 100% tuition-fee reduction
b, Partial tuition-fee reduction
c, No tuition-fee reduction
The student's tuition-fee will be reduced according to the RO's decision.
Please, note: After their scholarship status ends, students will no longer be eligible for the Hungarian National Health Insurance (TAJ card). Thus, we encourage everyone to buy student health insurance at Generali Insurance Company.
We recommend visiting the local partner of Generali and arranging coverage as soon as possible to ensure your well-being. Below, you will find details about the local office of New West Ltd., the official partner of Generali Insurance Company.
Generali’s STUDIUM insurance, provided by Generali Biztosító Zrt. (Generali Insurance Ltd.), offers fee-for-service health insurance coverage exclusively within Hungary. It is designed primarily for foreign students aged 18 to 65 enrolled at the University of Pécs who are not covered by the Hungarian state insurance scheme. If you hold a residence permit for an extended stay in Hungary, having appropriate health insurance is essential, and Generali’s STUDIUM insurance is a suitable option.
