Mission

Our mission is the supplementary training, financial, moral and intellectual support of talented Roma students enrolled in higher education institutes and, through this, the promotion of the idea and practice of equal opportunities.
The program is the first initiative of its kind in Hungary.

Activities

Educational Program

Each student selects a topic and a tutor who is an acknowledged expert of the field. The student develops the topic in close cooperation with the tutor and writes a paper at the end of each term to summarize the result of his/her work.

The students undertake to learn a modern language (preferably English) in a language school, one-to-one classes or groups. After two semesters they must take an elementary level language exam, and at the end of the fourth semester an intermediate level exam.

The students do four modules of the ECDL training. If the student requires, the College funds the completion of the whole course (7 modules), in which case the student is awarded an internationally acknowledged certificate.

The college also organises programs that discuss the results of the latest research on Roma issues and the social conflicts concerning the Roma community, with the participation of experts in the field.
