University Medical School of Pécs

What you'll study

The curriculum is arranged across ten semesters. Years 1–2 concentrate on basic sciences to establish the scientific basis for pharmacy. Years 3–5 emphasise general and specialised pharmaceutical subjects delivered by university departments, teaching pharmacies, institutes, laboratories and pharmaceutical companies. Practical training occurs after the 2nd and 3rd years in public pharmacies or pharmaceutical companies (in Hungary or the student’s home country). In the 9th semester students submit a written thesis; the 10th semester includes a six-month practical placement in public and hospital pharmacies. The programme concludes with examinations before a State Board assessing both practical and theoretical pharmaceutical skills.
