    Details

    Semmelweis only. Published as a standing rule, '21st of August the year of application', so this site assumes 2027. Other universities set their own document deadline.

    Published as "the 21st of August the year of application", with no year; this site assumes the 2027 intake. Semmelweis lets you apply and sit the entrance exam while still in your final year - "Those who have not yet received this certificate can also submit their application and take the entrance examination" - but "The final deadline for uploading the Matriculation Certificate is the 21st of August." Your IB Diploma is issued in early July, so the gap is about six weeks; the risk is not the date but forgetting the step exists.

What it is

The first year covers health-science basics including anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, oncology and public health. You then study the functional analysis of the musculoskeletal system, electrotherapy, cardiorespiratory and internal-medicine physiotherapy, orthopaedic and neurological work, and physiotherapy for specific age groups including children. Small classes, a mentor system and well-equipped skill labs support the practical side, with clinical placements throughout and extended fieldwork and a thesis in year four. Graduates work in hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centres, sports medicine, home care and wellness, or progress to the physiotherapy master's.

What you need

  • No IB-specific rule: entry is Semmelweis's own entrance exam and interview (oral exam for health BSc). Final-year students can apply and upload the IB certificate by August.
