The University of Szeged is a public Hungarian university and one of the main English-taught health-science options for international students outside Budapest. On Medimentor, the key Szeged routes are Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy.

Szeged is especially relevant for applicants who want a medical-university city with lower living costs than Budapest, while keeping a clear entrance-exam path in Biology, Chemistry and English. The exact exam format differs by program, so students should compare the three routes before choosing where to apply.

Admissions overview

For fall semester 2026/27, the official Szeged application pages list the application deadline as 15 June 2026 at 23:59:59 Central European Time for Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy. Applications are handled through the University of Szeged online application system.

Typical documents

Secondary-school diploma and transcript, or final-year proof until graduation.
Passport or ID, CV, motivation letter and translated documents where required.
Some programs ask for extra items, such as a medical certificate or optional references.

Application fee

Szeged lists a combined EUR 300 application and entrance-examination/evaluation fee. It can cover applications to up to three health-science programs and up to two entrance-exam chances if offered by the faculty.

University of Szeged entrance exams

Szeged's entrance model is science-heavy, but not identical across all programs. Medicine uses a written online test and oral interview. Dentistry is described as an online 20-30 minute evaluation with Biology and Chemistry topic discussion. Pharmacy lists Biology, Chemistry or Physics, and English as the entrance-exam route.

Medicine

Written + oral

Current central exam information lists 20 Biology, 20 Chemistry and 20 English questions, followed by an oral interview.

Dentistry

Topic discussion

The DMD page describes two Biology topics and two Chemistry topics in an online evaluation.

Pharmacy

Science + English

The DPharm page lists Biology, Chemistry or Physics, and English as the entrance-exam route.

Medimentor maps best to the shared problem across these routes: Biology, Chemistry, English, medical/science terminology and clear spoken explanations. We do not guarantee admission; the final decision is made by the University of Szeged.

Tuition, fees and living costs

Szeged publishes these health-science tuition fees in EUR. Medicine is listed at EUR 7,900 per semester. Dentistry starts with EUR 6,400 tuition + EUR 1,600 deposit in the first semester, then EUR 7,600 per semester. Pharmacy starts at EUR 5,420 in the first semester, then EUR 5,000 per semester.

Szeged is usually easier to budget than Budapest, but the real number depends on rent, deposits, utilities, travel, textbooks, insurance details and lifestyle. For planning, use roughly EUR 600-900 per month before one-time setup costs.

Recognition and licensing

Szeged degrees are issued by a Hungarian public university. Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy recognition is still destination-specific: students should check licensing rules in the country where they want to work after graduation, especially outside Hungary or outside the EU.

Recognized university route

Official Szeged program pages describe EU-compatible medical, dental and pharmacy degree routes.

Check your target country

Licensing after graduation can require registration, language proof, exams or supervised practice depending on country.

Student life in Szeged

Szeged is a compact university city in southern Hungary, often described as easier to navigate than Budapest. The student-life advantage is simple: shorter distances, lower housing pressure and a city where the university is part of everyday life. The tradeoff is that it is smaller and quieter than a capital-city medical school environment.

Best fit

Students who want a public Hungarian university, strong science preparation and a smaller medical-university city.

Watch out for

Program details differ across Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy, so do not assume one entrance-exam format fits all three.
