Moroccan Students Show Rising Interest in Studying in Hungary
Rabat – Hungary offers scholarships to 165 Moroccan university students every year, according to the Hungarian ambassador to Morocco, Tromler Miklos. In a post on social media platform X, Miklos said that the 'Moroccan-Hungarian scientific cooperation is better than ever.'
The ambassador revealed that more than 5,500 Moroccan students applied for scholarships in Hungary for the 2025/2026 academic year. This increase reflects a growing interest among Moroccan students in studying in Hungary.
The scholarships are provided through the Stipendium Hungaricum program, which is funded by the Hungarian government. Established in 2013, the program is supervised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and managed by the Tempus Public Foundation.
The program offers nearly 800 full-degree programs in various fields at different levels of study. The programs are available in English, French, and other languages at 36 Hungarian universities and colleges.
The scholarship covers all tuition fees and provides support for accommodation costs.
In recent years, an increasing number of Moroccan students have chosen to study abroad in countries like Hungary, Ukraine, Russia, and neighboring nations.
These countries attract students due to their affordable tuition fees, quality of education, and a wide range of academic programs. Many Moroccan students pursue fields such as medicine, engineering, and business .
In November, Ibn Zohr University in Agadir and Hungary's Karoli Gaspar University signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance academic cooperation.
The agreement was initiated during a visit by a Hungarian delegation, which included Karoli Gaspar University's president, Laszlo Trocsanyi, and Hungary's ambassador to Morocco. The MoU outlines student exchanges, collaboration between professors and researchers, as well as joint research projects across various fields. Tags: EducationhungaryMoroccostudents
