IN person ENROLMENT IN THE Academic Services Centre (ASC)

During registration week, the ASC will organize a Registration day on 03.09. 2026 for scholarship holders and on 04.09.2026 for tuition fee paying students, where you can meet the International Mentor Team (IMT) and complete the in-person enrolment process. More details will be available later.

If you arrive after 04.09.2026, the in-person enrolment will take place at the Academic Services Centre in the Main Hall of Building R during opening hours (Information about late registration dates will be available later).

Please note that the enrolment process involves two steps: an online registration, which includes submitting the ‘100 Enrolment’ form (from 28.07.2026) in Neptun, and a personal registration at the ASC. You must complete both parts to become a BME student. Please note that you must complete both parts of enrolment if you are starting a new program at BME, even if you previously had another BME program. If only your funding status has changed within the same program (e.g., you were awarded a scholarship or lost it), you do not have to submit the 100 Enrollment’ form; however, you must appear in person during the registration period to submit the necessary documents (e.g., scholarship agreement or study contract).

 
Late Arrival

You do not have to withdraw from your studies if you do not arrive in Hungary by 03 September 2026. However, you must submit the '022 Request for Preferential Course Schedule' form through Neptun to receive a late arrival permission. Your request will be assessed by the Faculty Study Committees. All Faculties have agreed that this kind of permission can be granted with the deadline of 18 September at the latest. In exceptional circumstances, Faculty Study Committees may allow a later deadline (The latest possible deadline is 14 October). However, failing to submit the request may result in you being refused permission to start your studies and asked to leave.

The following deadlines are usually applied:

• BSc programs: 18 September
• MSc programs: 25 September
• Preliminary program: 14 October

But in all cases, your ’100 Enrolment’ form must be submitted by 03 September 2026 at the latest.

If you arrive after 03 September and have not requested permission for a late arrival via the '022 Request for Preferential Study Schedule' form in Neptun, you must pay an additional fee of 5.500 HUF.

IMPORTANT: Please remember to complete your online tasks before travelling (active status, online enrolment, subject/course registration etc.), in accordance with the deadlines mentioned.

 
Late online enrolment

You must submit your '100 Enrolment' form in Neptun before 23:59 (Hungarian time) on 03 September 2026. If you submit the form after this deadline, a late fee of 5.500 HUF will be charged once your status has been activated. You can only set an active status until 20 September 2026. From this date onwards, you can only set a passive status. Please note that you must complete the entire enrolment process (online and in-person), even if your status is passive.

 
Deferment of enrolment

If you are unable to start your studies in the 2026/27/1 semester, you can defer (postpone) your enrolment to the next admission period based on this year's admissions decision, without having to reapply. According to the BME Code of Studies, this option is only available to international students.

If you wish to defer (postpone) your enrolment as a tuition fee-paying student, you must submit the ’004 Request for deferment for new students’ form in Neptun between 28 July and 30 October 2026. For scholarship holders, the 004 request is available until 15 September 2026.

You can find the list of training programs here.

Please note that if you request deferment (postponement), BME must refund your paid tuition fees. You can find all the necessary details about the refund process here.

Please note that you can only request deferment once!
