  • Personal documents: original AND two photocopies
    • EU citizens: original photo ID or passport. 
    • Non-EU citizens: original passport and visa 
    • Students with double citizenship / who are dual citizens: both original IDs/passports.
  • Your university’s Certificate of Arrival (and possibly other home university documents). Ask your coordinator if your university requires any documents and in what format. If your university requires a hard copy, bring it along, and it will be completed, signed, and stamped by ELTE GTK, and returned to you later. If you only need a soft copy, have it ready on your laptop/phone, and you will be asked to upload it in Moodle (instructions will be given). The signed and stamped copy will then be returned to you. If your university does not have its own Certificate of Arrival document, ELTE GTK will issue one for you soon after the session. The collection date will be announced.
  • For the best enrolment experience, please bring along an electronic device (preferably a LAPTOP). WIFI will be provided. 

What to do before the session? 

  • ELTE GTK Erasmus+ and guest students: We regret that, although Neptun codes have been provided, due to a technical problem in the Neptun system, you will not be able to activate your student status (register for an active semester) and to register for your semester courses in advance. Further information on course registration will be sent by email. Please ensure that you observe the deadline in the email.
  • If you already know that you cannot attend the above event due to late arrival, please inform the International Office by email (incoming@gtk.elte.hu) at your earliest convenience. This will enable the coordinators to schedule an individual appointment for you.

  • Classes start on Monday, 27 February. You can access the Faculty timetable with your IIG here. Personalise your timetable here
  • Further information on visa, travel, accommodation, academic calendar, etc. is available here (scroll down for the relevant topics) and the various sub-pages of the university web site

ERASMUS+ STUDENTS FROM OTHER FACULTIES 

You are invited to the info session part of the enrolment event hosted by the Faculty of Economics to learn about the Faculty, the courses, the classes, and especially the assessment regime, as our requirements may differ considerably from those of your host faculty. As far as your administrative tasks like activation of student status, course registration, and all other matters are concerned, please follow your host faculty’s guidelines. You will not have to present your documents at ELTE GTK, so please feel free arrive by 10:00 on Friday, 24 February. 

Regarding course registration, you will be able to register for free places on courses offered by ELTE GTK during the so-called “first-come, first-served registration period: between 17 February (16:00) and 3 March (16:00) 2023. As demand for some courses may be high, you are advised to register early. 

Finally, if you have not done so yet, please complete the ELTE Faculty of Economics Incoming Application Form data sheet to allow us to contact you in the future. 

See you on 24 February. Have a successful semester at ELTE GTK.
