Non-Degree Programs at CEU Table of Contents Table of contents CEU welcomes applicants interested in short-term studies as non-degree students. Non-degree students have the opportunity to enroll in specific courses or engage in supervised research. Acceptance is granted for the duration of a single course, a term, or even a full academic year. Non-degree student status encompasses different categories, as outlined below. Visiting Students Students who are enrolled in a degree program at another university or higher education institution which does not have a valid student exchange contract with CEU, or have already earned their first degree from a recognized institution of higher education but are currently not enrolled in any higher educational institution may apply for a visiting student status on a self-financing basis. In this case the tuition fee is based on the amount of credits they wish to take. Exchange Students Eligibility of students for exchange studies at CEU is based on a valid exchange agreement signed by the student's home university and CEU. Please note that all students applying for an exchange period at CEU must apply through their home university.  Students on exchange programs stay at CEU for one or two trimesters without the option of obtaining a CEU degree. Once you have been nominated by your home university's coordinator, we will get in touch with you to provide detailed information about the online application procedure. Please meet the deadline with the submission of your application form. Doctoral Support Students The Doctoral Support Program (DSP) is available to students who are enrolled in doctoral programs at other institutions of higher education and who wish to benefit from the University's innovative programs, international faculty and resources to assist the development of their dissertation. Such students may apply to spend between one month and one academic year at CEU and are eligible to apply for a full waiver of the tuition fee. During their time at the University, Doctoral Support Program students receive consultation and supervision from the University faculty. There is no requirement to attend classes, but DSP students are encouraged to interact with fellow students and faculty.
