The University’s P.E. and Sport Center
Semmelweis University offers a wide range of sporting opportunities for students. Physical education classes are compulsory at most faculties during the first four semesters. The various training sessions (water polo, volleyball, basketball, handball) and optional sports activities (judo, aerobics, yoga, tennis, frisbee, zumba) further add to the variety of options. P.E. classes last 60 minutes and are held once a week. They offer basic and intermediate training in various sports.
University sports clubs and teams
Besides the obligatory sports courses, the university offers sporting opportunities on a more advanced level as well. The university has its own volleyball, basketball, handball, football, cheerleader, and water polo teams. It is worth enrolling at the beginning of the semester but in most cases, you can join the teams during the semesters as well. Preparation for competitions usually involves 2-3 practice sessions a week.
Medic’s Cup
The Medic’s Cup is the biggest sporting event of the academic year. During the tournament, teams from the four Hungarian medical schools compete against each other in handball, volleyball, basketball, soccer, and water polo for several days. Of course, the universities’ electrifying cheerleading teams accompany them. The spirit of the games and the sound of ultras and drums are essential to the event, and you can attend all-night parties with hundreds of students.
