University of Debrecen
speciality: Biological Sciences

My programme has been both challenging and rewarding. What stood out most for me are the lectures who are warm, approachable, and genuinely invested in their students’ growth. Classes are delivered in English and designed to be interactive, which makes learning more engaging and collaborative.
As a foreign student, I quickly realized that there isn’t much structured support to help you settle in. You have to be deliberate about asking questions, seeking help, and building your own network. This challenge inspired us to create a student network for people from my continent — a community that offers guidance, connection, and encouragement. We are even linking this network with embassies to help new students transition more smoothly and feel at home as they study.

Overall, the programme has given me both knowledge and resilience. I would recommend it to students who are open to learning, growing, and contributing to a supportive community while studying abroad.

Am still in my first semester but the experience so far has been okay, the people here and nice and very helpful with showing you around and telling you all the things you need to put in place. But there’s no tour of the school to really show the students where is where, which can make it difficult to know places to get around they aren’t really any tour guides, signs and direction to let you know your way around. Also they make no effort in helping students when school accommodations are full, no recommendations no out of school apartments or anything so finding an accommodation close to your campus and student friendly is solely and entirely up to you.

The lectures are much more engaging thanks to interactive seminars that encourage collaboration between both professors and students. My teachers and tutor seem deeply invested in our success, often going out of their way to help us. Completing assignments feels rewarding, and seeing my grades after all the hard work is incredibly satisfying.

the University of Debrecen has a campus which is stunning, with its mix of modern and historic buildings surrounded by greenery. Academically, the programs are rigorous and well-structured, especially in the sciences. Professors are approachable, though some courses demand more self-study than anticipated. The international community here is vibrant; students from all over the world create a multicultural atmosphere that’s inspiring and supportive. However, bureaucracy can be a hassle, especially for non-Hungarian speakers. Living in Debrecen is affordable compared to larger cities, and there’s a lively student scene with plenty of cafes, events, and cultural activities. I appreciated the university’s emphasis on research opportunities, which prepared me well for practical challenges. If you’re looking for a globally connected university in a cozy, budget-friendly city, Debrecen is an excellent choice.

As a foreign student at the University of Debrecen, my experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The university provides exceptional support for international students, from visa assistance to orientation programs. Getting to Debrecen is relatively easy, with a direct train from Budapest. The main building is iconic, surrounded by lush greenery, making it a great study environment. Although many courses, especially in the sciences, are offered in English, I found learning some Hungarian very beneficial for daily life. The city is student-friendly with good public transport, making it easy to get around. The campus has a diverse student body, and the community is welcoming. Highly recommended for students interested in STEM fields
