  • psychological counselling is also available for these students.  

 

The leadership of BME offers its help to the Ferenc Rakoczi II. Transcarpathian Hungarian College of Higher Education and BME’s partner universities in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Uzhhorod and Dnipro. BME offers its support to their students and colleagues being forced to leave the country.

Based on the decision of the Hungarian Government to keep the humanitarian help centralized, we are required to inform all Non-Ukrainian citizen students to turn to their Embassy for help.  If you need help to find your Embassy in Hungary, please search for “Diplomatic corps in Hungary” database.
