Allgemeine Informationen:

Etwa 160 ungarische Studenten beginnen jährlich ihr Studium an der medizinischen Fakultät der Universität Fünfkirchen. Darüber hinaus beginnen 80 Erstsemester den Medizinstudiengang in englischer Sprache und 90 Erstsemester in deutscher Sprache. Gelehrt wird in 23 Kliniken und an 24 Instituten, die sich mit der theoretischen Ausbildung befassen. Nach 6 Jahren Ausbildung wird der Titel „Dr. med.“ verliehen, der in allen Staaten der Europäischen Union anerkannt wird. In Deutschland können Sie den Titel als „Dr. med. (Univ. Pécs)“ führen.

Studienalltag

Die Medizinstudenten an der Universität Fünfkirchen sind in so genannten „Studiengruppen“ von ungefähr 15-18 Studenten organisiert. Jede Studiengruppe wählt einen Gruppensprecher, aus diesen setzt sich der studentische Rat zusammen. Die Gruppensprecher sind das Bindeglied zwischen Studienbüro und Studentenschaft, sie organisieren Freizeitprogramme und sind Ansprechpartner für die Mitglieder ihrer Gruppe.

Die Fakultätsbibliothek befindet sich im 3. Stock des Hauptgebäudes, dort haben Sie Zugriff auf über 1000 internationale Fachzeitschriften. Des Weiteren hat jedes Institut eine Institutsbibliothek, wo Sie ausgewählte Fachliteratur finden.

Die Studenten haben freien Internetzugang von den Computerterminals der Universität aus.

Nach dem Sie einen positiven Entscheid über Ihre Bewerbung erhalten haben, erhalten Sie von uns eine Bücherliste, in der die benötigten Lehrbücher aufgelistet sind. Da deutschsprachige Fachbücher in Ungarn teurer als in Deutschland sind, raten wir Ihnen, diese zum Studienbeginn aus Deutschland mitzubringen.

Eine Mensa gibt es nicht, da sich die medizinische Fakultät aber unmittelbar im Studentenviertel der Stadt befindet, gibt es zahlreiche Studentenrestaurants, in denen Tagesmenüs für ca. 1.50 € angeboten werden.

Course description:	The Master School of Fine Arts of Pécs provides a three-year postgraduate art training programme in the fields of painting or sculpture. The Doctor of Liberal Arts (DLA) training programme of the Master School of Fine Arts, which, for the first time, made it possible to obtain a university doctorate degree in the field of fine arts, was introduced in the academic year of 1995-96. The training of Doctors of Liberal Arts offers the possibility of higher education for those outstandingly talented young artists, who became autonomous artists by the end of their undergraduate studies and for whom permanent and supported professional improvement is required. Several traditional methods are also available, such as bronze casting, marble carving and grinding, and monumental wall-painting techniques. Otherwise new materials and media are used in the creative work. The professors’ common intention is to teach young artists the different ways of using certain materials, devices and methods in order to become sovereign individuals with high professional knowledge and technical experience. We attach great importance to foreign relations with partner institutions. The Master School exchanges exhibitions with Hungarian and foreign partner institutions. Famous guest professors are invited to offer short, intensive courses, which make the theoretical and practical training more complete.
