CEU Master's Scholarships

CEU Fellowship Awards for Master's students are awarded at two levels: Full Fellowship and Partial Fellowship. All students should budget additionally for travel, recreation, and incidentals, which can vary with the individual.

Eligibility requirements for Master's programs

Applicants must have a first degree from a recognized university or institution of higher education, or provide documentation indicating that they will earn such a first degree before enrolment in a CEU Master's program.

For its one-year US accredited Master's programs, CEU normally accepts students who have completed four years of undergraduate university study. Applicants with a three-year Bachelor's degree will be considered for two-year Master's programs (both for the ones accredited in the US and in Hungary).

Admission into the US accredited one-year programs with a three-year Bachelor's degree will also be possible for suitable candidates.
