Masters Excellence Scholarship at Central European University in Hungary 2022

The Central European University in Hungary welcomes applications for the CEU’s Masters Excellence Scholarship from suitably qualified candidates for the 2022/23 academic session. Candidates who permanently live in Budapest are not qualified for CEU housing.

The Central European University (CEU)’s School of Public Policy is, in the words of its creator, George Soros, a “new kind of international institution dealing with international problems” via the multi-disciplinary study of public policy, ground-breaking teaching and research, and also meaningful involvement with policy practice.

Public policy presently is in an international, multi-level crisis. Working towards a more assured peace, social justice, and environmental viability – to list a few – requires ground-breaking and entrepreneurial involvement for the common good.

SPP is a multi-disciplinary graduate institution devoted to the principles of open society and establishing strong and adaptable links between research and practice as one way of addressing what is, overall, a failure of policy elites to address the most crucial problems of our time.

Policy-making needs consciousness of political and socio-economic subtleties particular to various governance contexts, and also a fairer and better representation of differing perspectives. To that end, SPP is robustly inclusive, attracting both scholars and faculty from various backgrounds and tapping into a broad range of knowledge sources. SPP’s candidates are the future social and political entrepreneurs, prepared to make ground-breaking contributions towards tackling the paramount public policy issues of the 21st century.

The School provides four master’s degree programs in public policy and the public policy track of the Ph.D. in Political Science program. The degree programs are adapted for scholars from all over the world desiring careers in the public, private, and non-profit industries at the local, national, European Union and global levels. The School has a team of exceptional resident faculty, first-class visiting faculty made up of foremost researchers and practitioners in the public policy discipline who bring a broad array of academic and hands-on subjects to SPP’s diverse classroom.

Masters Excellence Scholarship award beneficiaries who were granted housing in the CEU’s Residence Center have the choice to reject it. In such situations, however, CEU does not provide the expenses of alternative accommodation.

The admissions committee will assess applicants on a holistic level, taking into consideration the individual’s prospect for both academic and personal development and also the unique qualities and experiences that he or she could bring to the table to make SPP an intellectual basin of ground-breaking ideas. Candidates will be informed of the decision (including any financial aid package granted) through the online application system around April 1.
