Impression of A. Dattani / Dental Student /

The University of Debrecen is a sound institution, specialising in the medical sciences. It has a high

standard and

students are expected to work hard to pass each subject in order to continue to the next

semester. All the

professors speak good English and many speak other European languages too. The

education system is attractive

as it allows students to gain bonus percentage throughout the semester

which keeps students working hard

throughout the year and alleviates pressure towards the final

exams.

The University is constantly involved in new developments which improve the facilities and the

opportunities

available to students. Recently a new set of lecture theatres and a library has been built

with a new dentistry

building in progress. A large local hospital has been built which carries out

transplants and other major surgeries

as well as containing different departments related to the medical

field. This development allows students to be at

the forefront of new medical practice.

The University is situated in a large town with a population of 200,000 and hence the night life and

environment

is not lively as expected, but with new developments arriving to Debrecen the place is

becoming slightly more

socially active. This year we saw the opening of a very large shopping centre

with the first ‘Burger King’ and

‘KFC’ in the town. Debrecen, in my opinion, is a perfect ‘Student

location’ as there are not so many social

distractions but enough (with the new developments) to

create a good balance between University life and social

life.

It may seem daunting at first when thinking about applying to a University abroad for many reasons

but going

through the UK representative, Mr Sandor Bone, was a tremendous help and confidence

boost as he is very

helpful and informative on a realistic level about Debrecen and the University which

in turn helps many students

to make a decision to study here at the University of Debrecen. Hope to

see you there!
