MATE maintains partnership with nearly 300 universities to facilitate the mobility of students and staff for study, research and training. It is consistently ranked among the top Hungarian universities for both volume of mobility flows and quality. MATE was the first university to receive the eQuality award from the National Ministry of Education in 2004 for the success in the Erasmus mobility program and won the International Cooperation Culture award in 2013. In 2019 MATE was acknowledged in two categories receiving the highest scores in student services within the Stipendium Hungaricum programme and our university was the most successful higher education institution in Hungary within the International Credit Mobility scheme considering the total grant amount (over 2 million EUR) between 2015-2020.
MATE welcomes a wide range of exchange students from our partner institutions within the Erasmus+, Erasmus+ Credit Mobility and CEEPUS Programmes and under the scope of bilateral agreements from countries outside the European Union.
