University of Pécs - applications open for 2027/28Details
Published with its year: "the application period starts on 1st November 2026 and the application deadline is 30th June 2027 for the academic year 2027/2028 beginning from September 2027". Pécs adds the sentence that makes the opening date matter: "Since admission is continuous, the earlier you apply, the more spots we can offer." There is one intake a year. It is on the online-application page (https://admissions.medschool.pte.hu/application-form), as of 23 September 2026; the page on the same site titled "Deadlines & Requirements" publishes no deadline at all, so look for dates on the application page.

University of Pécs - entrance exams, every WednesdayDetails
Published with its year: "Entrance exams are organized each Wednesday between 3rd March and 14th July 2027." The window runs weekly, not continuously - there are twenty Wednesdays in it and you sit one of them. Register two weeks in advance. Exams can be sat in Pécs, in Budapest at McDaniel College, or abroad through representative agencies, and there is a 250 USD (about €220 at the ECB rate of 24 September 2026) entrance exam fee on top of the application fee.

Application deadline: all other degrees listed (autumn 2027)Hard deadlineDetails
Published with its year: "the application deadline is 30th June 2027 for the academic year 2027/2028". It is on the online-application page, not on the page called "Deadlines & Requirements", which carries no dates at all. Because the entrance-exam window closes on 14 July and exams have to be arranged two weeks ahead, applying at the very end of June leaves almost no room to sit the exam, let alone re-sit it.

What it is
The six-year medical degree runs in three stages. A basic module covers the structure and function of the healthy body through anatomy, histology, embryology and biochemistry; a preclinical module turns to pathology, microbiology and patient examination skills; and the clinical module teaches specific diseases and their diagnosis and treatment, mostly in the hospital wards. Direct experience with patients at the bedside or in the operating theatre is central, and the final year is a full practical year in the wards, where students carry out medical work under supervision. Clinical areas include cardiology, paediatrics, neurology, psychiatry, surgery, obstetrics and oncology.
What you need
- IB Diploma gives no exemption from the entrance exam; grades in chemistry, physics and biology should be as high as possible, and the exam (written and oral) decides.
