How International Graduates Navigate their Post-Study Route: Differences and Challenges

Based on empirical research, the poster discusses how the post-study route of international graduates who completed their studies under a scholarship program can be described and what significant differences can be identified by their study levels. The poster also presents the international graduates’ challenges faced after their studies.

Integration of International Students

The poster is based on foreign language publications, texts among course readings of courses in Hungarian, on what type of programs/events do you spend time with Hungarian/international students, satisfaction with students services, do you have friends among Hungarian/international students, HEI good practices, policy recommendations.

Connect Language Teaching Methods, Practices, and Institutional Currents To Support Integration of Foreign Students

In the framework of Stipendium Hungaricum programme Hungarian HEIs receive a remarkable number of international students from 90 countries all over the world. To successfully implement the programme, student service/teaching/curriculum development, and the management of these activities need to be supported. TPF provides virtual training to connect institutional and individual practices in foreign language teaching.

Student Perspectives on Internationalization

Result, findings of the student satisfaction survey

How an inbound mobility scheme shapes HEIs internationalization in practice

The poster introduces the SH program, discusses the share of international and SH students, the effects on the development of education programs withing HEIs (increasing number of study programs, increasing rate of SH students on each study level) and the number of SH students at the most popular universities.

Mobility and Diversity: Developing Global Citizens – How an inbound mobility scheme shapes HEIs internationalisation in practice

The poster shares the effect of a national inbound mobility scheme on internationalisation (increasing numbers/ratios), impact on HEI development), the impact on internationalisation processes at the University of Pécs.

Cooperation with Foreign Missions in Promoting Higher Education Abroad

The poster discusses the effect of inbound mobility, global promotional activities, diplomat-network – a tool for strengthening knowledge diplomacy (annual conference, regional forums, etc).

SH10 at Corvinus University of Budapest in the light of services provided for international students (poster of Corvinus University of Budapest)

At Corvinus, in the last 10 years, since the start of the Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship programme, there has been a significant increase in the number of scholarship holders, sending countries and our participating study programs. In many ways, the expansion of the University’s services is facilitated by the evolution and changes in the SH and DFP scholarship programmes. The range of services provided to SH and DFP students is increasing also in quality, the vast majority of which are also available to other international students and contributes significantly to the implementation of the CORVINUS internationalisation strategy. Our most important achievements include the implementation of full-scale communication in English, extensive digitalization, the continuous development of training courses in the light of international trends, student counselling and career counselling, and the continuous development of the physical environment. The range of services is currently being continuously expanded.

The first decade of the Stipendium Hungaricum programme at Eötvös Loránd University

The following poster of Eötvös Loránd University presents how the number of Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship holders increased to over 1600 in ten years. Since the launch of the programme, there have been more than ten different courses to choose from at each level, 81 in total, and by 2023 scholarship holders come from 85 partner countries.

We display that the excellence of our scholarship holders is reflected in their above-average performance and low drop-out rates.

The poster features personal profiles of several outstanding Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship holders, who are the pride of our university and the Stipendium Hungaricum programme, for their outstanding academic achievements and community activities.

Finally, we will detail ongoing developments, which include strengthening Stipendium Hungaricum mentoring system, promoting student integration and further improvements of the quality of student services.

Stipendium Hungaricum in the Faculty of Informatics at ELTE

Nothing better demonstrates the positive influence of the Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship in the internationalization of the degrees offered by the Faculty of Informatics at Eötvös Loránd University than 10 years ago, when the program began, our faculty had only 10 foreign students and since so this number has grown to almost 900 students from about 90 countries.

This intensive growth made it needed to introduce a series of initiatives with the aim of ensuring the success of our foreign students in their studies and covering different aspects of student life, as e.g., the foundation of a Student Support Program and Center, the organization of preventive, student effectiveness monitoring programs and a half-year preparatory training, as well as a mentoring system and Housing office service.

Our international students can also take part in research projects organized in collaboration with partner companies, as well as to continue their studies in the doctoral programs that the faculty offers.

Outcomes of SH in the Internationalisation of MATE

The aim of this poster is to present some of the projects that have been implemented during and in connection with the Stipendium Hungaricum programme, which have contributed to the internationalisation of MATE and its immediate social environment as a result of the SH programme.

Decolonising second language acquisition and multilingualism: 7 years of research at the Faculty of Humanities, University of Pannonia

Thanks to the Stipendium Hungaricum programme, the Master of Applied Linguistics and the Doctoral School of Multilingualism in Linguistics at the University of Pannonia Faculty of Humanities have been increasingly popular with international students since 2016. At both levels, research on bilingualism and multilingualism is highly emphasised, and the results are published in the form of theses, conference presentations, scientific publications and dissertations. Over the past 7 years, the fellows have studied several linguistic constellations, which have been disseminated not only in Hungary but also in several foreign journals and international conferences. The aim of the poster presented here is to summarise quantitatively and qualitatively the research of SH graduates and current students in this field. The quantitative data will be summarised in the form of figures, tables and a map showing the areas and language pairs studied, as well as how much and in what type of format the results were published. The qualitative data outline the main results for each topic area, with both textual and graphical representations. Finally, using a QR code, the poster guides the reader to the publications on each topic and/or thematic area to get a more complete picture of the research.

The scientific output of our training courses over the past 7 years has contributed greatly to enriching and expanding our knowledge base and portfolio. In addition, as subject leaders, our academic output has extended to research on language pairs that bring us closer to decolonisation processes. This research also has a fruitful impact on the fellows’ practice when they return home, as they can apply what they have learned and the results of their research in their schools and teacher training after their placement.

The Institute of Archaeologicyal Sciences of Pázmány Péter Catholic University (PPCU) in the Stipendium Hungaricum Programme

One of the missions of the Pázmány Péter Catholic University is to support the dialogue between religions and civilisations, which the University pursues through its educational and research programmes. The PPKE has strong and active international relations, especially with the countries of the Middle East. Since the launch of the SH Programme, the Institute of Archaeological Sciences has hosted a large number of students from the region, in which it has established MA and PhD programmes in archaeology in English and further developed its existing network of contacts. The majority of our SH students are Syrian, usually already known through our Institute’s fieldwork in Syria. Over the past decade, the Institute has trained and continues to train more than 100 SH students, many of whom have achieved significant academic results in addition to successfully completing their degrees. This poster will describe the process of training students from PPKE’s fieldwork in the Middle East, through recruitment and field “pre-selection” to the Erasmus+ faculty exchange programme. It also gives an insight into the successes achieved by our SH students.
