Questions
Before you buy
Yes. University of Pécs delivers Medicine in English and runs its admission process in the same language.
Yes, at all four Hungarian schools in our catalogue. At Semmelweis, Debrecen and Szeged it re-tests science orally in English (at Debrecen, biology and the second subject you chose). At Pécs it is a 20 to 30 minute personal interview with a professor on motivation and medicine-related questions, which per Pécs's own FAQ includes two biology and two chemistry questions.
At three of the four Hungarian schools in our catalogue, yes. Semmelweis, Pécs and Szeged score English as a separate written subject, split into general and medical English. Debrecen doesn't: its written papers are biology plus chemistry or physics, although the whole exam and the oral are held in English.
Not a separate one. Hungary's final exam (záróvizsga) is built into the sixth year of the degree itself, and registration afterwards with the national healthcare register is automatic. A separate specialist exam (szakvizsga) applies only later, for those pursuing specialty practice.
Yes, it's the 2027 edition, built from the latest admission rules University of Pécs has published. Where a 2027 date or detail isn't published yet, confirm it with the university before you rely on it.
Yes. University of Pécs-format practice sessions are available inside the simulator and align with the guide section by section.
An online guide you read in your browser, on a laptop, tablet or phone. Access starts the moment you buy, with no waiting.
Yes: 1,000+ practice questions in the exam simulator, matched to the format, difficulty and topic distribution of the real Pécs Entrance Exam, with a full explanation for every answer.
