University of Debrecen

Hello, I am applying to the University of Debrecen for Dentistry. I am looking for someone who has applied for either this course or medicine who sat the entrance exam or is familiar with the entrance process e.g. the interview so I can ask a few questions.

Thank you.

Hi All
just a word of caution for any prospective student who are thinking of coming to Debrecen to study medicine or dentistry - DONT! or think very carefully before you decide on Debrecen for the following reasons...
1. the exams are based on luck most of the times especially the oral exams,as there have been numerous times where you have answered all the questions and if you answer just one and I mean one question wrong then you will have failed.
2. another occasion a student passed the exam but was failed because they had too many students who had passed before him. it depends on who the examiners are, and when the exam takes place.
3. at times the examiners will actively give big hints for the answer, and almost giving you the answer.


the exams are based on how lucky you are and if the examiner likes you.
Most of the lecturers are not approachable and there is "zero" pastoral care, although there are a few who care, but these are the exception and not the rule
The examiners/University will try to find any way that they can to trip you up and make you fail, as the whole University depends on their foreign students and the income that they bring.
There is a very good chance that a large number of students will end up repeating one year during the 6 years.

There is also zero student support by the University and students have to depend on their classmates and fellow students to get through the exams.
Compared to the American and British universities, the workload is relentless, and never ends, which when the students work exceptionally hard,can end up failing and leaving. This goes for most if not all the eastern european universities, so please think very carefully before you consider Debrecen, and if you have another choice than I would strongly recommend this.

Thanks for the info, I take it you are a student there right now ?

Hey there, can you tell me how was the entrance exam, what level of questions and what to expect for the interview?

Thanks a lot for the info, and can u also tell me what is the criteria of the paper, I mean how is it set, like the no of questions, MCQ'S? and the minimum no of questions that u need to answer to qualify? And how is the University in general?

Thanks, I'll consider it, but are u updated on the type or level of questions in the exam, because I am almost sure about the University, and a bit nervous about the entrance exam. So anything on that?

When I did it 2 years ago there was a mixture of questions. There were some MCQs, fill in the blank and labelling a particular diagram. Chemistry was mainly MCQ. And whatever 3rd subject you didn't pick as your main 2 (if thats how they still do it) will be included but only like 3-5 MCQs on it.

I did the Debrecen exam in April and got in for Medicine, just looking for other people who have got in or current students to give their viewpoints. Is it really true they try to fail you? I really don't think there's any relevance in that to be honest, just the people who can't take the pressure or understand the workload you have to do fail.

Hey guys!

I'm sorry but my post has nothing to do with the exam. I am Namibian (africa) and begin the BMC in september this year. There seem to be very few breaks during the course of the academic year and I was wondering whether you can choose your exam dates, since we seem to have an entire month to complete our exams?

If anyone is considering apply abroad why not concider studying in Western Europe.. Currently no entrance exams, relatively a simple process to secure a place via undergraduate courses and low fees, couses are mixed english and Spanish but there is a lot of support for the clinical (spanish) aspect.

if you would like more info or have any questions feel free to ask
