About the exam

 

The applicants are allowed to participate in a maximum of two examinations during one application period, if the chance is offered by the University of Szeged.

The Entrance Examination consists of a written and an oral part in Biology, Chemistry (including Organic, Inorganic and Biochemistry)  and English Language. In case of examinations hosted by the Admissions Office, University of Szeged Physics* might be chosen instead of Chemistry (except for Stipendium Hungaricum applicants).

Absence from the entrance exam without a previous withdrawal is considered a used exam chance without valuable result.
