CEEPUS stands for Central European Exchange Programme for University Studies.
CEEPUS is a multilateral academic mobility programme supporting cooperation between higher education institutions in Central and Eastern Europe. It enables students, doctoral candidates and academic staff to undertake mobility within CEEPUS academic networks, as well as through the Freemover scheme.
The programme currently includes Albania, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Hungary, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia and Slovenia. Kosovo also participates through the University of Pristina.
Regular student mobility generally lasts from 3 to 10 months. CEEPUS also supports shorter mobility periods, including summer schools and intensive courses.
CEEPUS scholarship holders receive financial support from the host country. Scholarship amounts and detailed conditions vary between participating countries. Participants studying within the programme are generally exempt from tuition fees at the host institution.
Students, doctoral candidates and academic staff may apply, subject to the eligibility requirements of the CEEPUS programme and the respective participating countries.
