The Foundation Programme in Biology at the University of Pécs is meticulously crafted for international students aiming to build a robust academic foundation for health science degree studies. This programme addresses the critical need for both advanced English language proficiency and foundational subject-specific knowledge, essential for admission into competitive medical, physiotherapy, midwifery, or dietetics programmes. You will develop your academic English skills, progressing from a B1 to a B2 or even C1 level, while simultaneously gaining exposure to key terminology and preparatory concepts in health sciences, ensuring you are well-prepared for the rigors of university-level study in Hungary.
This comprehensive, full-time, on-campus programme is structured over 15 months, guiding you through three distinct stages: the Milestone Stage for core language development, the Upgrade Stage for academic English, and the Gateway Stage for professional language and subject-specific preparation. You will engage in communicative language classes, thematically focused education modelled after university seminars, and specialized English for Specific Purposes (ESP) modules. By the end of your studies, you will have successfully completed the ECL language exam and be fully prepared to meet the entrance requirements for your chosen health science degree at the University of Pécs.
