Semmelweis University
Semmelweis ranked 151-200. Semmelweis University is located in Budapest and is the oldest medical school in the country (established in 1769). The university reached a position of 201-250 in medical education. The Semmelweis University ranked 308th in the field of life sciences and medicine in the broader areas of specialization.
As QS World University Ranking said, the Bachelor’s programmes provide students with general knowledge, skills, abilities, professional competencies, and the professional experience necessary for finding employment. The Master’s programmes and – for those already holding a degree – the postgraduate specialist training programmes allow students to obtain professional specialisation, a deepened knowledge of the field, and a higher level of qualification. Scientific knowledge may be acquired following completion of the Master’s programme within the framework of Ph.D. training. The so-called long-cycle Master’s programmes comprise a unique group, in which the Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes are essentially merged together: students enter the programme with their high school leaving certificates and leave with a Master’s degree. Higher-level vocational training also forms part of higher education: credits earned in this form of training can be transferred to a Bachelor’s programme. Completion of a vocational training programme does not result in a higher education degree.

University of Szeged – Global Ranking: #=470
The University of Szeged offers Bachelor’s programmes at the Faculty of Agriculture, Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Economics & Business Administration, the Faculty of Music and the Faculty of Health Sciences and Social Studies. Although students enrolled in the so called undivided (integrated, long, one-tire Master’s) programmes of the Faculty of Dentistry, Medicine or Pharmacy obtain Master’s degree, there is no Bachelor’s degree among the prerequisites.
Szeged is the second hometown of International Students: Public transport, the biggest cycling community in Hungary, swimming pools, baths, theatres and cinemas are here to serve visitors and students while staying in town. Szeged is among the best European University Towns (CondéNast Traveler – 2014) and according to Trivago’s travel site Szeged is the 5th on the list considering the best price-value rates of travel destinations.
ESN Mentors, as member of a non-governmental, volunteer-based student organisation in Europe, are volunteers who help foreign students settling down in Szeged. In cooperation with the University, they help newly arrived students starting their student and social life at SZTE and Szeged. ESN and their events bring international students closer to the local community, and last but not least, they make friends with them.
