Upper-Year Admission – Previous Studies Abroad
Applicants who have completed relevant university studies outside Hungary, or who hold a relevant B.Sc. or higher degree, may be eligible to apply for upper-year admission.
For eligibility criteria, application requirements and information on course and credit recognition, please refer to the Upper-Year Admission section of the relevant program page on our Admissions website.
Transfer from Another Hungarian University
Students enrolled in a General Medicine, Dentistry or Pharmaceutical Sciences program at another Hungarian university may apply for transfer to the corresponding program at Semmelweis University, provided that the two programs are at the same qualification level.
A transfer application must be submitted in the online application system, together with the required supporting documents, by July 15 of the year of transfer application. No entrance examination is required as part of the transfer procedure.
Transfer applicants must upload the following documents to the online application system (SEMAPHOR):
- Certificate of student status;
- Official academic transcript;
- Motivation letter;
- Curriculum vitae (CV);
- Copy of passport;
- Passport-size photo;
- Certificate of completed summer practice, if applicable;
- High school diploma;
- Detailed course descriptions or syllabi.
The transfer application procedure fee is 250 EUR, payable by bank transfer or credit card.
The transfer procedure involves several stages of academic and administrative review, with the participation of the relevant academic departments, the Credit Transfer Committee, the Office for Educational Administration and the Study and Examination Committee. The Study and Examination Committee makes the transfer decision on the basis of the credit recognition decisions, the applicant’s academic record and the available capacity of the relevant faculty. Preliminary assessment of credit recognition or year placement is not available outside the formal procedure. As the transfer decision can only be made after the course and credit recognition procedure has been completed, the Study and Examination Committee generally makes the final decision in late August or early September.
The conditions and procedure are governed by Article 17 (Transfer) of the University’s Study and Examination Regulations.”
