INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMMES THE UNIVERSITY HAS BEEN TRAINING DOCTORS IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE FOR MORE THAN 35 YEARS. The English Language Programme offered for foreign students at the Albert Szent-Györgyi Medical School and the Faculty of Pharmacy started in the academic year 1985/86 and 1986/87 respectively. In 1990, the English Language Foundation Year Programme was introduced. In the academic year 2004/05, the English Language Dental Medicine Programme was launched. The University has also offered a German Language Medical Programme for the first two years since 1999, as well as the German Language Foundation Year Programme from the academic year 2004/05. The Faculty of Health Sciences and Social Studies introduced its English Language Programmes in the academic year 2018/19. Our teaching system is very traditional. We place great emphasis on the theoretical subjects in order to provide a solid basis for the clinical training. The programmes are designed to unify the basic and clinical sciences, as it is believed that scientific and professional development cannot be sharply separated but should proceed concurrently throughout the programmes. Special Ph.D. programmes are arranged, along with individual postgraduate training for Hungarian and foreign colleagues. In short, our main mission is to train well-educated professionals.
DEGREE PROGRAMMES Medical Programme MD The Albert Szent-Györgyi Medical School admits close to 200 students per year to the English Language Programme. The undergraduate medical programme lasts six years (12 semesters). The first two years serve as the foundation of basic medical knowledge. From the third year, theoretical training is combined with regular clinical practice, where students intensively take part in the work of the clinical departments and the teaching hospitals. The Faculty’s excellent scientific laboratories offer the students a wide range of opportunities to join high standard scientific research activities. In the last two semesters – the clerkship year – students perform clinical rotations for 40 weeks. Our medical training centre is to aid medical students by enabling them to practice the methods of various procedures on dummies throughout their academic studies. At the conclusion of the programme (State Board Examination), the title Doctor of Medicine (medical doctor; Dr. Med.) is granted for those who have met all the requirements of the training.
