For Stipendium Hungaricum Scholars

Stipendium Hungaricum Students do not need to provide an additional Medical Certificate.

The Mandatory Medical Certificate uploaded to the Online Scholarship Application System will be accepted!

Please bring along the original document together with the medical and/or laboratory results!

General information

You will find below important information about the medical check-up procedure and requirements of the University of Debrecen.

Please note that the general vaccination rules (concerning COVID vaccination, please check our Freshman Info site) and the obligatory medical check-ups are regulated by the Hungarian law and the University of Debrecen.

According to the Regulations of the Hungarian Government and on the basis of the decision of the University of Debrecen, all students have to go through a medical check-up upon arrival.

Please note that students on medical and health sciences programs are required to have regular medical examinations during their studies to prove their health aptitude as certain chronic or recurring diseases and conditions may interfere with patient care or safety and may be incompatible with medical training or practice.

Please note that students on medical and health sciences programs cannot register for the subsequent semester and cannot start their practice without an up-to date and official medical certification.

Official medical certifications can be provided only if the student has completed every part of the required test!
