Foundation Year Programme

You feel not prepared enough for our regular programmes?

Then our Foundation Year (Preparatory course) is the best option for you.

This programme is organized by the Albert Szent-Györgyi Medical School for students who feel unprepared for the regular health science degree programmes or who need help in reviewing basic sciences.

The Foundation Year course is available both in the form of online and face-to-face education. The academic and financial conditions of both options are identical.

Join the course if you need help in reviewing Chemistry, Biology, Physics and English Language. If you study hard during the eight-month course you have a high chance to be admitted automatically to your first-choice out of 5 Health Science Programmes in the upcoming academic year:

6-year Medical Programme (MD),

5-year Dental Medicibe Programme (DMD)

5-year Pharmacy Programme (DPharm)

4-year Physiotherapist Programme (BScPhysio)

4-year Nurse Programme (BscN)
