Welcome to Budapest Metropolitan University!
This page is for you if you are working or studying at one of our partner universities and planning to spend your Erasmus+ or another study abroad semester at METU
Nomination and Application procedure for Guest Students at Budapest Metropolitan University (METU)
Students willing to apply for the exchange program (Erasmus+ or other) should first contact their home university's international relations or Erasmus coordinator, to check whether their home institution has an ongoing bilateral agreement and enough quotas with Budapest Metropolitan University (METU) in their field of study.
The student's home university must send the request for the nomination to METU Incoming Team at the following email address – incoming.erasmus@metropolitan.hu , and the Incoming Team will share the Nomination Form.
Nomination from the partner sending institution must be sent to METU until:
- April 10 – for the Fall semester and the full academic year
- October 31 – for the Spring semester
The International Academic Relations Office will send the decision about acceptance and application procedure details directly to the nominated student no later than one week after the nomination deadline closure.
Application procedure for Erasmus+ incoming students
After the nomination deadline, the students will receive information about the APPLICATION PROCEDURE on the DreamApply platform in the email indicated on the nomination sheet by the coordinator.
METU requires that the student have sufficient English language skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking) equivalent to level B2 on the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) scale.
Students will be requested to submit proof of English Language Proficiency during the application.
Applicable proof: Proof could be the letter from the sending institution confirming the level of the English language proficiency (min. B2) of the student or Internationally recognized English Language Certificates
For the students who plan to apply to study at the Art faculty, it will be necessary to provide a PORTFOLIO before the application ends.
METU supports using Online Learning Agreement (OLA) system, and it must be signed from all three sides with the following order (Only for the Erasmus Students):
- student
- coordinator(s) at home university and
- coordinator(s) at host university – METU
It is highly recommended before filling out the online learning agreement platform, students should discuss the subjects' choice with their home university coordinator to get approval and clarify the recognition part to avoid multiple changes in the system.
If the partner institution does not support the Online Learning Agreement platform, we recommend the students use the following Template.
The guide for filling out the Learning agreement will be shared during the application period.
Students can check the list of the subjects offered for programs:
- Business BA & MA
- Communication BA & MA

- Art BA & MA
An updated course list for all the programs is usually published by mid-March or mid-October (the dates might differ).
Before filling in the application form, please, ensure that you have all the required documents and information.
