In the first semester of the academic year 2023-2024, you obtained an average of min. 7. It is not an exclusion condition if you have a few missed exams.
2,5% - CONFERENCE, competition, etc.

2,5% - SOCIAL SITUATION

** Clarifications
Knowledge of the Hungarian language IS NOT A MANDATORY REQUIREMENT, students can apply even without this knowledge, because it is only a decisive criterion, i.e. EXTRA POINTS CAN BE OBTAINED with it. Knowledge of the three languages (ro, hu, eng) counts for 15% of the points. Students who don't know Hungarian will receive 5% fewer points, but if they know a language other than English and Romanian, they can gain the 5% back. We justify the optional criterion of Hungarian language knowledge by the fact that in Harghita county we also work with subcontractors, construction workers, etc., with whom we can only communicate effectively in Hungarian because of their lack of language skills.
MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS

Once you have 60 points, you are eligible for a scholarship.
