Welcome to our new students
Dear Students,
 
Here you will find all necessary information soon about the start of the spring semester 2022/23 and the Orientation Week.
 
Eötvös Loránd University has offline education (with personal presence) in the academic year of 2022/23. At the moment, there are no COVID restrictions in Hungary. Masks are obligatory only inside hospitals and healthcare institutions.

We strongly recommend, though for all University Citizens to take the opportunity to be vaccinated against COVID-19. In the 2022/23 academic year, not being vaccinated will not be accepted as a reason to be exempted from the general regulations requiring in person presence during studies.

The tuition for the spring semester of AY 2022/23 starts on 27 February 2023. Due to the general energy crisis in Europe, the campus of the Faculty of Humanities is closed between 5 December 2022 and 27 February 2023. The coordinators and all staff are available via email or MS Teams during office hours. For further information, please scroll down.

Orientation Week

The Orientation Week is organized for new international students at ELTE Faculty of Humanities at the beginning of each academic semester.

Our programme is designed to introduce you to the Faculty, staff, and organizations you will have contact with during your stay at ELTE in Budapest. It also provides information and advice that will assist you in adjusting to the learning environment of the University and to the life in Budapest and Hungary.
