Required documents for application
Applicants may register for entrance exam date in SMAPHOR after completed application process.
Due to pandemic, there are solely online entrance exams this year. Semmelweis University usually provide 2 times entrance exam dates in every upcoming week till the end of the admission period.
Applicants, who have submitted their application(s) via SEMAPHOR, may apply for an exemption from the entrance examination if they have obtained a B.Sc. (or higher) degree in a relevant field of specialty (i.e., closely related to medicine, biology or chemistry) in a higher education training program in English language. Exemption is not automatic.
All requests for exemption are considered by the Admissions Committee and will be decided upon on the basis of the type(s) and issuing Institution(s) of the diploma(s), the attached transcript(s) showing the applicants performance, the recommendation letter(s), the proof of good command of English and of other details contained in the curriculum vitae and in the motivation letter.
All documents should be submitted online as attachments to the application(s) in SEMAPHOR, and after having the application(s) submitted, a simple request for exemption from the entrance examination needs to be sent to the Directorate by e-mail: english.secretariat@semmelweis-univ.hu.
Requests without online submission of application(s) are not considered. Applicants may sign up to and participate in entrance examinations if their request for exemption has been rejected.
Students who have successfully pursued their studies at other accredited universities (in Hungary or abroad) can apply for admission without being obliged to take an entrance examination.
Subjects of previous studies with identical or at least 75% similar content to the subjects included in the curriculum of Semmelweis University Faculty of Health Sciences can be accredited, meaning that admission to an upper year might be possible.
Transfer students are required to prove their current student status and previous study results. The previous study results will be examined by Semmelweis Credit Transfer Committee.
On the basis of this examination it will be decided how many of the previously completed subjects get accredited, and in which year the applicant can start his/her studies.
Who can apply for student transfer?
There are three conditions that must be met in order to become eligible.
Those who fail to fulfil these 3 conditions cannot apply for a transfer but have to go through the regular entrance procedure. If the Study and Examination Committee accepts the applicant as a transfer student, he/she will be acquitted of the entrance procedure.
