Do you want to be a doctor or veterinarian?
We can help you! Since 1990 Pre-University programs have been organized to help students who require additional instruction or review in the required subjects and in English language to prepare them to take the entrance examinations for the regular Degree Programs of medical universities. We have more than 30 years of experience in preparing students for university programs (e.g.: Semmelweis University Budapest, University of Szeged, University of Pécs and the University of Veterinary Medicine). Almost 90% of our students gain admission to the desired University programs in Hungary or elsewhere.
The program starts in June 2026 to mid-May 2027.
The general aim is to focus on improving the English language competency and on developing the study skills of students who wish to continue their education at our Pre-Medical Track or other medical schools.
