University of Debrecen - application closes for the February 2027 intakeHard deadlineDetails
Published with its year: Debrecen lists "January/February 2026/2027 - all programs: 1st November 2026". This is the only route on this page that starts in February rather than September, which makes it the fallback for a student who misses a September round - and the nearest deadline on this whole page. Debrecen also states that it closed applications early for the September 2026 Medicine and Dentistry intake "due to an exceptionally high number of applications received", so treat its published deadlines as the latest possible date rather than a safe one. Application fee 150 USD, non-refundable.

Final application deadline for September 2027Hard deadlineDetails
Published with its year: "The application period for the September 2027 intake will open later this year, and the final application deadline will be May 15, 2027." In 2026 the deadline was 15 June; for 2027 Debrecen has brought it forward by a month, so a 15 June date you see elsewhere is wrong for 2027. The opening date is still only "later this year" (as of 23 September 2026). Debrecen closed its September 2026 Medicine and Dentistry applications ahead of the published deadline because of demand, so do not plan to use the last week of this window.

What it is
Year one covers cell biology, anatomy, physiology, biostatistics and an introduction to public health, followed by epidemiology, immunology, microbiology and environmental topics. The later years apply this to occupational health, child and adolescent health, health promotion and health policy. Field work and laboratory practice sit beside the theory, and an internship is part of the degree. Graduates work in public health agencies such as cancer registries, food safety authorities and screening programmes, in community development and international aid, or in the pharmaceutical industry and management consultancies.
What you need
- An entrance interview on your English, school studies and motivation; no IB exemption is published.
