The goal of the scholarships:
The goal of the Hungarian Language and Hungarian Studies programme is to increase students' Hungarian language competence and "Hungarology" knowledge acquired at foreign universities.
The goal of the Hungarian Language – Hungarian Cultural Studies training is to help strengthen the Hungarian identity of the students and prepare them for their future work in disseminating the Hungarian culture. This goal is to be reached by increasing their language competence on the one hand and by transferring up-to-date knowledge of Hungary and the Hungarian culture on the other.
The purpose of the Literary Translation Programme is to provide an introduction to the theory and practice of literary translation and to deepen participants' knowledge of the Hungarian language and literature. It also offers a comprehensive understanding of the institutional systems and major phenomena of contemporary Hungarian literary life.
