Studying in Hungary

Location and History

Hungary is a landlocked country in central Europe with a distinctive language and cultural history. Its traditions in education and scientific research are reflected in university centres such as Debrecen and Pécs.

Setting and Student Life

Pécs is a university city in southwest Hungary, with a medical-school community that has welcomed students onto English-language programmes since 1984. Debrecen has its own airport and rail links to Budapest. Hungary’s thermal baths, historic cities and national parks offer destinations for time away from study.

Universities and Courses

The University of Pécs and the University of Debrecen both offer medicine and dentistry taught in English. Debrecen also offers a preparatory programme for applicants who need to strengthen their academic foundation before degree-level study.

Applying and Events

Both universities use entrance assessments in their admissions processes. Applicants who need further science preparation can also explore Debrecen’s preparatory route. Medical Doorway supports the application and preparation for the assessment required by the chosen university.
