BME, PAHTHER project, kick-off meeting, Warsaw, February 2015 Outgoing students Politics: BME would like to preserve its best students for the full training (BSc + MSc + Ph. D), but we understand that international experience is a „must” nowadays. So university organizes different type of exchange programs from short (1 -2 weeks) through medium (1 -2 semesters) to long (2 years, 2 diplomas). Financial support is important. Some programs: Erasmus+ (since 1990 -es). More than 300 bilateral agreements. 300 academic outgoing student (Spain, Germany) + 100 internships. Campus Hungary (since 2012). Mobility of students in 4 categories: short (less than 1 month), long (1 semester), group visits, internship to any country of the World. * * There are more categories, money for Non-Central-Hungarian Regions.
