Exemptions from the entrance examination
In addition to transfers from other universities exemptions the basic study section of French veterinary schools (“Classe Preparatoire BCPST”) entitles the applicant to be accepted without a written entrance examination. An oral exam, however, is mandatory before final acceptance for all applicants.
Transfer from other Universities
The University of Veterinary Medicine Budapest, as a member of the international academic community, recognizes studies at other accredited Universities from any part of the world particularly if these included natural sciences. Accordingly, applicants who have completed a section of the curriculum at another University in natural science might be admitted upon the study of the submitted material (transcripts and references) without a written examination. An online oral exam, however, is mandatory before final acceptance for all applicants.
Subjects of previous studies identical or similar to those contained by our veterinary curriculum can be applied for acceptance. Preliminary evaluation is made also on the basis of submitted copies. However, original syllabi of your previous/ present studies indicating the content of the course, the number of classes and credits earned has to be sent by your school directly to the Student’s Secretariat in Budapest within 3 months. If a sufficient number of exemptions are approved, the time of studies can be shortened and – if prerequisites are met – a start in February may also be possible. Please note: prior to entering the 3rd year of the Budapest-curriculum all exams from the previous two years have to be passed! Courses you are exempted from will be marked as such on your record.
Pre-Medical (PreVet) Preparatory Program
Our long standing partner the Pre-Medical Program of McDaniel College prepares students who require additional instructions or review in sciences and English language to take the entrance examinations. The course can be done in one or two semesters. In-class in Budapest or online.
It must be understood that completion of this program does not imply or secure admission to the degree program at the University of Veterinary Medicine, however, it greatly increases the successful passing of the entrance exam. For many years 85-90% of the students after finishing this program were able to successfully take the University entrance exams.
