1. Medical check-up
Before you start your mobility at Semmelweis University, you need to get some medical examinations done in your home country. You will also have to fill out some documents together with your family doctor (GP) that are required for an aptitude test. You will have to undergo a compulsory aptitude test after you arrive in Budapest so that you can take part in practical courses at the university. Please, bring the results and the completed forms with you and present them to the Occupational Health Officer at Semmelweis University after your arrival.
You can find the detailed list of the examinations and the downloadable forms required for the aptitude test on the page “Medical Reports and aptitude test”.
