The selection of students will take place in two phases:
Phase 1: Applicants will be pre-screened by FAO after which the applications are transmitted to Hungary’s Ministry of Agriculture. The ministry will then forward the applications to relevant universities of the applicant’s choice.
Phase 2: As part of the admissions process, chosen candidates might be required to complete an oral or written English proficiency test. The participating university will notify each of the selected candidates after conducting an additional round of selections. The Universities alone will choose the students; FAO will not be involved in this process. The Ministry will also notify the chosen pupils.
