On the occasion of Semmelweis University’s 40th Anniversary of international medical education, the most successful Semmelweis Student event of all time, the Semmelweis Summer University will take place between 1-2 September as an international event, with parallel sessions in Hungarian and English at the Basic Medical Science Center. All Hungarian and international students are welcome to attend the event free of charge and can earn one credit per day, provided that they register for the course in Neptun and verify their presence via the QR-code system during the event.
Launched in 2019 to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Semmelweis University, the Summer University is a traditional and lively start to each academic year. In 2022, this popular event will be held in an international form for the very first time, welcoming all international and Hungarian students to celebrate together the 40 years of international education and enjoy a wide variety of professional & scientific lectures, and entertainment programs.
You can find the course in Neptun under the following codes (in the category “All other subjects in the institution”) :

Among many other exciting topics, this day will include an online lecture on scientific and healthcare communications, brought to you as part of the EUniWell Open Lecture Series by a Semmelweis Alumni straight from New York.
The international program is organized by the Center of Education of International Studies and the Directorate of International Relations, in close cooperation with the international student associations ISSA and DSVS and the Alumni Directorate.
