If you are a first-year international student about to arrive in Hungary, do not worry! The HÖOK Stipendium Hungaricum Mentor Network (SHMN) mentor program registration is open until the 31st of October. You have plenty of time to apply and choose a mentor.
The network aims to assist the higher educational integration of freshman students coming to Hungary with the Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship by providing mentor pairs. The mentors’ responsibility is to assist their mentees in administrative and academic tasks and to help them in getting used to Hungarian transportation, culture, and norms. These mentors always attend the same university as their mentees and are there for them to provide help with their problems.
One of the network’s aims is to organize several cultural and tourist programs for its members as well as to make the students’ stay in Hungary pleasant and to make sure they get familiar with as many of the country’s values as possible. Each event organized by the network is free for students.
Further cultural and e-learning materials are prepared about Hungary’s national holidays, history, significant figures in the entertainment industry, Nobel-prize winners, literature, history of film and inventors.
After watching each video, students can do tests and quizzes to get points. The ones who get the most points receive valuable gifts.
As a mentee, you’ll have access to:
- Networking events to connect with fellow students and professionals
- Mentorship from experienced mentors who can help you navigate your academic journey
- A vibrant community that supports your growth and development
- Workshops and events tailored to enhance your skills and knowledge
Don’t forget to check your email for important details and helpful tips on how to apply for mentorship!
The University of Debrecen is a partner institution too.
