The one-of-a-kind cooperation agreement signed four years ago by Semmelweis University and Germany\u2019s largest clinical centre has borne its first fruits: the first graduates of the University\u2019s Asklepios Campus Hamburg received their diplomas at a ceremony held at the Hungarian Embassy in Berlin.

\nAfter completing their first two years at Semmelweis University, German-language medical students may opt to continue the practical part of their training at Asklepios\u2019s world-leading institutions in Hamburg where, in addition to expanding the students\u2019 theoretical knowledge, emphasis is placed on scientific research and clinical practice, fitting into Germany\u2019s dual vocational training system. At the end of their studies, students receive Semmelweis University\u2019s diploma, recognised across the European Union.<\/p>\n

A total of 19 students earned their diplomas this year, which were presented by Dr. \u00c1goston Sz\u00e9l, rector of Semmelweis University and Dr. Istv\u00e1n Kar\u00e1di, dean of the Faculty of Medicine. \u201cMany more students have enrolled in the subsequent years, and interest in the programme has been spectacular: on average, some 300 students apply for the 50 available places each year from locations ranging from Germany to Riga and P\u00e9cs,\u201d Dr. J\u00f6rg Weidenhammer, director of the Asklepios Medical School GmbH, stated at a press conference which preceded the graduation ceremony.<\/p>\n

\"\"Asklepios Campus Hamburg students follow a study programme based on Semmelweis University\u2019s curriculum and take their exams in front of Hungarian professors. The annual tuition fee is EUR 14,000, about half the amount usually charged by Western European training institutions of Asklepios\u2019s calibre.<\/p>\n

Employing 44,000 people in its 140 hospitals and health care institutions across Germany, Asklepios Kliniken Gmbh\u2019s main motivation in embarking on its collaboration with Semmelweis University was to ensure the supply of physicians for the future.<\/p>\n

The idea for the joint training emerged in 2003, Dr. Tivadar Tulassay, former rector of Semmelweis University recalled. Collaborative work began in 2005 and, by 2008, the training programme had been set up and accredited. Thus, the first international medical faculty was established in Germany within the organisation framework of Semmelweis University.<\/p>\n

Semmelweis University was the first Hungarian higher education institution to offer foreign language training its German-language medical programme which commenced in 1983. The English-language programme was added six years later. The University\u2019s diploma, which can be earned in either of the three languages, enjoys considerable prestige around the world, giving its holder the right to practice in all EU member states without taking additional exams.<\/p>\n
