All the five faculties of Semmelweis University were represented at Educatio International Education Expo 2017. At the information desks Semmelweis students provided assistance to those who asked for information about the university. These Semmelweis students gave us their feedback about their experiences during the expo as follows.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe majority of secondary school students arrived at the expo with a clear plan; some of them already knew what type of a physician he\/she would like to become. Most of the questions were related to the content of the courses and the curriculum. For instance, they were interested in the amount of work required for a successful exam, or what the average is of unsuccessful exams. Many secondary school students asked about the content of practical training and about the period of specialization. We have received many questions regarding the quality of dormitories and the availability of space, also about language proficiency exams required for the entrance examination and the diploma, as well as about score limits. Some people also enquired about the preparatory course for the final examination organized by the university.\u201d, said Zs\u00f3fia Purman, member of the Students\u2019 Union of the Faculty of Medicine.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cThe recognition of the Faculty of Health and Public Administration is continuously growing, which is also proven by the fact that every year more and more people visit our information desk at the Educatio Expo with a clear goal. Most of the students inquired about the courses and the job opportunities after graduation. The majority of people were interested in the programmes offered by the Institute of Digital Health Sciences, but many students wanted to hear more about mental health. According to our experiences it is the health related informatics and manager training about which students usually lack detailed information. For instance, it was new for many students that health related informatics also deal with financial questions, but everybody could get all the needed details at the information desks.\u201d, said R\u00e9ka S\u00e1ra Kov\u00e1cs, President of the Students\u2019 Union of the Faculty of Health and Public Administration.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cMost of the secondary school students were interested in the dietetics and the physiotherapy programmes offered by the Faculty of Health Sciences. Most of the questions were related to the requirements of the entrance examination, courses, and job opportunities after graduation both in the common and private sectors. The information desk of the Faculty of Health Sciences was directly visited by people at the Educatio Expo: many students had a clear plan and asked their questions related to particular programmes accordingly.\u201d, expressed L\u00e1szl\u00f3 K\u00f3sa, President of the Students\u2019 Union of the Faculty of Health Sciences.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cMany students asked us about why they should choose Semmelweis University, or why they should apply to the Faculty of Dentistry. They waited for a confirmation from us, medical students. In such cases we can provide assistance in the process of decision making with orientational questions related to the faculty. Among other things students asked what sort of knowledge they need for a successful admission (whether it is rather Chemistry or Physics), and about the course material. We could demonstrate the process of prosthesis-making by using visual aids. This way the discussion was more personal: we showed them what they are going to study here and we also talked about university life and life as a medical student.\u201d, said Szabolcs Ferenczi, President of the Students\u2019 Union of the Faculty of Dentistry.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cThe questions were mostly related to the entrance examination, as well as university course material: how difficult Chemistry is and what they will study during the courses. Those students who visited our desk directly, in general knew that the university does not have a central campus, thus they wanted to know how unpleasant it might be to visit different buildings to attend classes. We also received questions about the university, the dormitory, scholarship opportunities and freshmen camps.\u201d, said Viktor Erd\u0151si, President of the Students\u2019 Union of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences.<\/p>\n
