The Foundation Programme in Biology at the University of Pecs is designed for international students seeking to build a strong foundation in English language proficiency and essential scientific knowledge before embarking on their degree studies. This comprehensive preparatory program addresses the critical need for advanced language skills (moving from B1 to B2 and beyond) and introduces you to the core concepts required for health science disciplines like Nursing, Physiotherapy, Midwifery, or Dietetics. You will develop your academic English, including research and writing skills, alongside specialized vocabulary in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) within the medical and health sciences field.
This full-time, on-campus program is structured across three stages, progressing from general language development to specialized academic preparation over its duration. You will engage in communicative and cooperative language classes, thematic academic modules mirroring university seminars, and preparatory teaching in relevant subjects. The program culminates in preparing you for university entrance requirements and potentially the ECL language exam. You will graduate with the linguistic and foundational scientific knowledge necessary to successfully transition into your chosen health science degree at the University of Pecs.
