To do list and possibilities for graduated students

Congratulations on graduating!

If you do not want to stay in Hungary after your studies:

You must leave the country after your graduation date, as your residence permit is only valid as long as you have an active student status. This active student status ends on your graduation day, unless you have been previously accepted into a higher level program (master’s or PhD). In the case that you continue on with your studies, please contact your faculty beforehand to ensure your continued student status.

Remember to also close your Hungarian bank account, and transfer any remaining funds over to an account from your destination country!

Regarding anything else, you have nothing more to do but to find your way home! We were happy to have you, and see you next time!
