- This video highlights the different courses/subjects and expectations that are attached during the 1st semester of medical school at the University of Pécs. Hopefully this can help people to feel more prepared before their 1st semester begins and also give prospective medical students an idea of what they would be in for.

Great info.
I graduated in Pécs in 1991.
I am still happy of my experience in Pécs.
Thank you.
Awesome, I’m happy to hear it!
Thank you for the advice and remarks. I really needed to know in prior to my medical studies in Pecs!
Thank you for your feedback!
Thank you so much for this video Cam! Was very informative.
You’re welcome!
Valuable info for future students! Thank you for your work.
Appreciate the feedback!
I found your channel and you are doing a great job helping the future doctors💓 I really want to study in Hungary but I'm confused between the universities as pecs debrecen semmelweis and Szeged university offer English programs so can you tell me which one to choose acc to the city and the campus life as you know more about it It would be really helpful for me if you answer ✨
Thank you! It is difficult for me to give you an exact answer but I will try break it down. Semmelweis has the highest ranking so in theory the degree from their holds you in the best stead however, I believe that all 4 options are good enough to get you to where you want to go after. Of course Semmelweis is also in Budapest which is the capital city and it will probably provide you with the best social life if that is something you prioritise. The other 3 (especially Pécs) are smaller cities where there is less going on and less people but it does mean there are less distractions. Pécs has a reputation for having a difficult first 2 years compared to the others so I have heard of people who transferred to Szeged as a result but I managed to get through them with hard work. All and all I would say it comes down to you (what kind of person you are) because the education and degree is relatively similar when looking at all 4. I would base your decision on the cities…find the city that works best for you. Research things to do in each and whatever else that you can find. Sorry for sitting on the fence a bit but hope this helps!
@@CamMedLifedo you know whats the process of taking a transfer?
For the english programme in Medicine, do you need Hungarian for the clinical settings? Since you may have contact with Hungarian Patients that have no knowledge of any other language. Is this a huge problem? I do not wanna learn Hungarian😢
Can you please tell about the passing grades ?
It depends on the exam. In oral exams, the grade is determined subjectively by the examiner based on performance on a scale of 1-5. 1 being a fail, 2 being a pass, and higher numbers equating to higher grades. In written exams, the passing grade is determined for each exam, you usually need to achieve around 60% but it can vary.
Hey there Cam, I wanted to ask that are the professors for medicine in Hungary good? especially with the language barrier thing. Also do you think that the language barrier deprives you of knowledge during clinics? ( Love your stuff btw)
Hey, the professors are pretty good for the most part. Most of them have got a really good grasp on the English language so that isn’t a problem but like any University/School, there will always be some professors who are not the best. We do have the option to shuffle our classes and pick a specific seminar/lab teacher if we would like, which is a nice option to have. In terms of the language barrier in the clinics…that is the main negative I can bring up as an international student studying in Hungary. We do learn basic Hungarian in the first 2 years of our degree which is focused on the Medical Interview and common answers that patients tend to give but it is limiting. You cannot have a proper conversation with the patients and you rely on the doctors or Hungarian colleagues for translation. I do also feel like we lack practical skills at the university as there seems to only be a strong focus on the theory. However once it is all said and done and we have the degree, I think we can make up for some of our deficiencies whilst in residency. It might be a bit tough for the first month or so but then we can adapt and we will at least have a good theoretical foundation behind us. (Thank you for the positive feedback)
Bro can you do a video showing us how to register on neptune and how i can download the registration sheet to sign? For new students please?
Hey, I’ll see what I can do but there should be a freshman starter pack that you were sent over email which explains how to register in a step-by-step process
Thank you so much Cam 👏👏👏
Just one question, are the end of semester exams in first year oral or written???
Thank you once again, this has been very helpful.
No problem and yes, the finals in the 1st semester are all oral exams. Most of them are oral exams in the 2nd semester as well but chemistry may be written if the system stays as is.
Thanks for your information
But
as a first year student
Is there any platform wich i can find past papers
Or any of Lecture videos?
Cause i really need them
Hey, getting past papers is difficult as most exams are oral and the departments don’t really share past papers but try and speak to upper year students. Sometimes people have Quizlet links for past paper questions.
For lecture videos, use the website: Potepedia.aok.pte (If the department has uploaded them, they will be there). It is also worth checking Teams and department specific websites as the anatomy department have their own website for example.
Good luck!
Anatomy in first semester as well at our university
We only start Anatomy from semester 2
Bro how u found the perfect home ? It’s hard to get one like yours
Hey, sorry for the late reply. It is getting harder and harder to find places here that are at a good price but keep checking Facebook listings and talking to agents that you contact on those listings to see if you can figure something out.
Does the same apply for semmelweis and debrecen as well?
I can’t say for sure as I only know about Pécs but it will be similar. There may be a slight change in their curriculum in the order in which they do things but the subjects will be for the most part the same.
@@CamMedLife I see.. thank you!!! Great videos!!
What’s the passing grade for each subject?
In oral exams, it is impossible to answer because the requirements in each department are different and the examiners are all slightly different too. Your result is somewhat subjective based on the examiners opinion of your performance. In written exams, it also differs slightly from subject to subject but 60% tends to be the average.
Thanks a lot Cam. I’m appreciative of your response. Good job on this very helpful channel.
One more question: Could you please share some of your insights regarding Medical Chemistry. What is the nature of this course and what suggestions do you have on how to be successful with it. And what is the exams like and how do you prepare for it overall.
Your thoughts are appreciated as always.
Are you a stipendum scholar?
Hey, no I’m not unfortunately.
@@CamMedLife hey, I want to ask if any of your classmates are prepping for USMLE also are there any Pakistani r Indian students in your batch also why you preferred pecs over semmelweis and is it possible to transfer from pecs to semmelweis?!
??
Is it possible to work part time ?
There are limited opportunities for international students as it is a small city with not many job opportunities but I do see international students helping out at restaurants and with food delivery. If you studying medicine though then I don’t think you really have much time to work as the degree is demanding.
For first years, how much r u free a day is it busy ?
It really depends on you. If you do a bit of studying each day, then you can still have free time after and avoid serious cramming towards the end. Some students chill a lot at the beginning of each semester and only start studying later but then it is cramming and you have 2 extremes…Half the semester is chilling and half the semester is no social life and studying. I recommend that you try manage your studying and free time throughout the semester and you will definitely have time off
