The central educational units function independently from the faculties.
Directorate of Language Communication |
|
|
The Language Communication Directorate is one of the oldest organizational units of Semmelweis University operating since 1948 (it is the successor of the Foreign Language Department). As its core activity it undertakes the teaching of foreign languages in the fields of general medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and healthcare IT, as well as the examination of university/PhD students and employees. Uniquely among Hungarian universities, seven languages are taught: Latin, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Russian. In groups preparing for the final exam, students can acquire material that meets the requirements for six living languages. Our website and the teachers will advise you on the syllabi of the preparatory courses in medical language and those of language exams. The Language Communication Directorate teaches Hungarian and Latin to international dentistry students studying in the English and German language programmes, as well as to pharmacists participating in the German language programme. We also teach Hungarian to Erasmus students. The organizational unit also functions as a language exam centre for two state-accredited language exam systems: PROFEX medical exam and PANNON general exam. |
