Nationalities of Students in Semmelweis University

Sorce of Information: Orientation for 1st year students 2015/2016.
Comments:
  1. There are many Iranians and Norweigians, 20%(75 students) and 16%(60) respectively. As combined, more than 1/3 (36%) are either Iranians or Norweigians in Semmelweis 1st year students.
  2. For Iranians, there are many in dentistry and pharmacy, in case of Pecs. I guess there is the same tendency here in Semmelweis because I don't see so many Iranians in our class of general medicine, meaning there should be many in other faculties.
  3. For Norweigians, on the contrary, there are many in general medicine and not many in other than general medicine, in Pecs. There is the same tendency here in Budapest because I see many Norweigians in our class of general medicine. (but I don't know there are not many Norweigian students in other faculties.)
  4. Now 3rd ranked is Japanese. I never expected this number. I heard there is 19 in Pecs this year, too, although there are only 6 last year. Thus the number increased dramatically. The reason is, I guess, that graduates are starting to pass the Japanese national exam and become licensed as doctors in recent years, and that is how the number has increased.
  5. Ranked 8th and 9th are the US and Canada. Compared to this, there are much less students from North America in Pecs.
  6. There are 373 students for registered first year students in Semmelweis.(see detail below.)
  7. These Students are from 46 countries. (see detail below)
  8. This diversity is awesome!, which I can not expect if I study medicine in Japan.
Compared to Pecs.
  1. thare are many Iranians and Norweigians in Pecs, too.
  2. Not this thorough list, but still nationalities of Students in Pecs.
