About University of Szeged Medical School

The University has been training doctors, dentists and pharmacists in English language for many years. 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 programs 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 programs. In short, our main mission is to train well-educated professionals.

The graduates of the University are entitled to apply for hospital residency places worldwide. Citizens of the EU and EEC will receive their license automatically within the Community. Furthermore all graduates of the Medical Program are entitled to participate in the US Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE).
