Central European University admits applicants who wish to undertake a limited period of study as non-degree students. These are individuals who do not wish to pursue a degree at CEU, but are interested in taking specific courses or conducting supervised research. Such applicants may be accepted with a non-degree student status for theduration of a course, a semester or an academic year.
Applicants who wish to undertake non-degree studies at CEU should consult the Non-degree Students Policy and submit a paper Application Form.
The non-degree visiting/exchange student status is normally granted to individuals who:
- have earned a first degree from a recognized university or institution of higher education and are able to present evidence of English language proficiency (if they are not native speakers of English and do not qualify for exemption from the requirement for English-language testing),
- are enrolled in degree programs at other universities or institutions of higher education and are able to present evidence of English language proficiency (if they are not native speakers of English and do not qualify for exemption from the requirement for English-language testing).
N.B.: Students enrolled in degree programs at other universities or institutions of higher education with which Central European University has an exchange agreement may be granted the status of non-degree exchange students.
The Doctoral Support Program (DSP) is available to students who are enrolled in doctoral programs at other institutions of higher education and who wish to utilize CEU's innovative programs, international faculty, and resources to assist the development of their dissertation. Such students may apply to spend from one semester to one academic year at CEU and are also eligible to apply for a full waiver of the tuition fee. During their time at CEU, Doctoral Support Program students receive consultation and supervision from CEU faculty. There is no requirement to attend classes, but DSP students are encouraged to interact with the other program participants and faculty.
DSP students may apply at the time of the general application deadline or throughout the academic year on a rolling basis. Those who submit an application after CEU's general application deadline (January 15, 2008) will be expected to make their own arrangements to take a standard English language test if they are not native speakers of English and do not qualify for exemption from the requirement for English-language testing. With their application, DSP candidates are required to submit a three- to five-page description of their doctoral thesis including research questions, theory and methodology, current status of their projects, a one- to two-page research proposal and a letter of support from their doctoral supervisor.
Before submitting an application, DSP candidates are advised to contact the department of their choice for pre-agreement on the specific arrangements.
Students who wish to apply to CEU as an Erasmus student are required to first contact the relevant Erasmus coordinator at their home university to find out about the application and selection procedure. If selected by their home institution, they should carefully fill in an application form for CEU and also attach the required enclosures, the certificate of the Erasmus status and the preliminary Learning Agreement. More information about these programs is available here.
A separate study abroad program is available for undergraduate students from North America, Japan, Australia and other countries where CEU has existing agreements, to study at CEU. More information about these programs is available here (link to http://ceu.bard.edu/)
Unless special agreement conditions apply (of which potential candidates will be advised by their institutional contact person), the standard application package materials include:
- completed application form, downloadable here;
- evidence of English language proficiency if applicable (see language requirements);
- One letter of recommendation;
- Official or certified copy of transcript from the institution of higher education last attended or being currently attended (if the official language of the transcript is other than English, a certified English-language translation of the document is also needed);
- Resume
