CEU Summer University
Established in 1996, CEU’s Summer University program hosts high-level, research-oriented,
interdisciplinary and innovative academic courses as well as workshops on policy issues for
professional development in the social sciences and the humanities. Courses involve distinguished
international faculty (including CEU professors), and excellent advanced doctoral students, junior
or post-doctoral researchers, teachers and professionals as participants. While application from
all over the world is encouraged, continued priority is given to applicants from Central and
Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union and countries experiencing emerging democracies worldwide.
Applicants from these countries, when admitted on merit, will be eligible for scholarship, while
those from developed countries will usually be expected to pay fees.
Course offerings cater for the various needs of academic and professional development across
a wide spectrum of disciplines. These include anthropology, cultural studies, environmental sciences,
comparative religion, political science, public policy, sociology, international relations, legal
studies, etc. The program encourages topics in newly emerging fields and transdisciplinary approaches.
Requirement for application
- Minimum requirement for application is a university degree. Undergraduates without a university
degree will not be considered with the exception of the course entitled "The European Union and the
WTO" where all participants must have earned a first degree in law, or be near completion of their
law degree.
- The program encourages applications from advanced Ph.D. students, postdoctoral fellows, junior
faculty, researchers and professionals. Before submitting your application please check at
http://www.sun.ceu.hu/4Applicants/eligibility.php whether the course of your choice has any
additional course-specific application requirements or deadlines.
- The language of instruction is English; thus all applicants have to demonstrate a strong command
of spoken and written English to be able to participate actively in discussions at seminars and
workshops. (In some instances you may be contacted for a telephone interview.)
Financial aid
- Participants from Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union and Mongolia, as well
as those coming from emerging democracies worldwide can apply for financial aid, except for the
"The European Union and the WTO" course, which can only be attended on a fee-paying basis.
- Participants from developed countries may apply for tuition waivers, which are available in a
limited number on a competitive basis. If you wish to apply for a tuition waiver, please attach a
cover letter to your application specifying your reasons.
- Participants are NOT eligible to receive financial aid if they attended
a) a CRC (Curriculum Resource Center) session in the same calendar or academic year (i.e., they must
wait one year after their participation in one of the above programs before applying to SUN), or
b) two CEU faculty initiative activities (i.e., CRC, SUN) within a four-year period.
- In case an applicant is accepted to two courses, which is only possible if the two courses are
run consecutively, financial aid is only available for attending one course.
See the various financial aid packages below:
- Tuition waiver
The tuition fee is provided. Recipients have to cover their own insurance, travel, accommodation and living expenses.
- Partial Scholarship
Includes tuition fee, accommodation and insurance. The recipients of the scholarship have to cover their travel and living expenses.
- Full Scholarship

The Full Scholarships includes a full or partial travel grant which can be applied for on a

are not reimbursed.
The citizens of the following countries are not eligible to apply for a travel grant: Bosnia
and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia,
Slovenia and the western part of Ukraine. (Exception: participants of the "Multi-Disciplinary and
Cross-National Approaches to Romany Studies - a Model for Europe" are eligible for a travel grant
from any country.)
The scholarships do not include living expenses, participants have to cover these on their own.
Living expenses including local transportation and meals are estimated to be EUR 170 for two weeks.
As the number of fully funded scholarships available is limited, funding offered by institutions
or individuals is welcome so that we can invite more well qualified applicants. When choosing the
financial aid package, please consider if you or your institution can contribute to the program
expenses. Faculty and Ph.D. students are advised to approach their home departments for travel
grants; researchers may have research grants available which can cover their participation;
professionals may turn to their employers to fund their training at SUN. While selection of
applicants will be based on the academic merit of the applications, those willing to bear the
participation costs fully or partially will be preferred in case of equally strong applications.
