100 free scholarships for South African students to study in Hungary
South African students are being presented with the opportunity to study the English language in Hungary at Bachelors, Masters or PhD level.
The 6th of December 2016 was a big milestone for Hungarian and South African relations as the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in the field of Higher Education was signed by both parties.
A part of this MoU is the Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship programme which offers 100-100 full scholarships for 3 years (tuition fees, accommodation, medical insurance and a small allowance) to South African students wanting to study in Hungary in either English or Hungarian.
This means that 300 students will have commenced their studies in Hungary by September 2019.
