Overview

The Intensive Foundation Semester bridges the gap between students' current qualifications and background and the knowledge and skills required to pursue any furthure courses.

Some science subjects such as biology, physics, mathematics and chemistry can be demanding in Hungarian High Schools. Thats why the Intensive foundation program is vital for those applicants who do not have enough knowledge in biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics or in any of these subjects according to Hungarian standards, and need further studies and a period for acclimatization before entering an engineering, IT or business program. Besides these basic scientific subjects, courses in professional English and Hungarian languages are also listed in the program.

The curriculum of the foundation year is designed to enable foreign students, to successfully learn subjects at the University of Debrecen. Throughout the course, various subjects will be taught to students including standard English language, professional English language, Hungarian language for foreign students, and optionally, - depending on prospective studies, ­- mathematics, IT skills, biology, chemistry, physics. The courses may be supplemented by practical exercises.
