General Information about this website
Purpose, expected audiences and so on.
This site is getting bigger. Here is First of all,
- Purpose:
This page is presented to serve information and a way of opinions
about Hungarian Medical Schools and daily-life in Hungary, especially
University of Pecs and Semmelweis University(Budapest). Why these two
Hungarian Universities? see Authors below.
I am trying to give a balanced opinion, since there are mainly two
types of opinion on the internet regarding to Hungarian Medical
Schools.
- Agents: They say everything is good here, which is, of course,
not true. Agents are earning money, thus they can not help but do so,
because they are doing business! That is how they got unbalanced.
- Students with failure: Every medical school is difficult in terms
of getting admitted or getting through after admission. Here due to
relatively easy admission, students feel difficulty to pass exams. To
be honest, many students fail. They speak loud and speak ill of
school from their bad experiences. That is how they got unbalanced.
- In my case, I am not an agent, thus no financial interests involve
here. Also I am a quite successful student so far. I am a 5th year
students with, say, good marks. I can be in more balanced position in
this term.
- Expected Audience:
Future/Possible Applicants and Those who would like
to know Medical Education in Hungary, Especially foreigners(non-Hungarian).
- Why did I make this?
Before I came here in Hungary, I had been looking
for information about Medical School and Medical School
life in Hungary. I found that such information is limited in amount and
not balanced. I thought there should be more in quantity and the
information should be balanced. That is how
I began this. I hope it would be helpful for you.
