Semmelweis University is Hungary's legendary medical school, founded in 1769 as the nation's oldest medical institution, and today ranks among the leading medical education centres in Central and Eastern Europe. Known for integrating research excellence with clinical practice, it stands as a beacon of innovation in medical training and research. The university places in the world's top 300 for medicine and health sciences according to Times Higher Education, reflecting its international standing as a research-intensive medical university.
The university offers programs across general medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, health sciences, and allied disciplines. Teaching occurs in Hungarian, German, and English; English-language programmes have been available since 1987. With more than 300 active research groups, the university produces over 2,000 publications annually across diverse fields including diagnostics, therapy, disease prevention, and active ageing. Practical education takes place within the university's own network of hospitals and clinics, which provide care to approximately 10% of Hungary's patients and represent the country's most advanced medical facilities.
The university enrolls students from approximately 130 countries, with about one-third of its nearly 16,000 students being international, creating a genuinely multicultural academic environment. Prospective students from Russian-speaking countries may pursue admission through multiple pathways: the Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship programme (full support for nationals of designated countries), self-financed study, or university-specific scholarships. Admissions occur twice yearly; English-taught programmes typically require B2-level English proficiency. Verify current requirements, application deadlines, and programme availability for your country with the university's international admissions office, as these vary by academic year and field of study.

Common questions about admission
Why apply through UNIPROFI specifically?
UNIPROFI is about a well-thought-out application and a strong outcome: we build an application path around your profile, goals and the requirements of your selected universities. You work with mentors who are current students or graduates of these schools, so you get real understanding of the system, campuses and opportunities — not theory. We take on complex cases (including minors and admission without an 11th-grade diploma), build an individual strategy for your profile and goals, and support you through every stage, from documents to your visa.
Do you guarantee admission?
We don't offer "guarantees for the sake of a sale," because no one can directly influence a university's decision. What we do is structure everything to minimize the risk of rejection: matching you to the right universities, building a strong application strategy and preparing documents carefully. If you complete the whole process under your plan and are not admitted to any of the universities we applied to, the service agreement lets you choose: a refund minus costs already incurred (university fees, translations, courier) or a free re-application for the next intake.
What are my actual chances of getting in?
We do not state a universal admission probability because the decision belongs to the university. We instead assess your profile, programme requirements and application strategy.
Can I apply on my own — why do I need you?
You can, but most students end up losing time, making mistakes, or settling for weaker universities. We save you months, help you start at a stronger level, and prevent the mistakes that can cost you admission.
