What our students tell about studying at the University of Debrecen?
 “Studying at the University of Debrecen is much more than acquiring knowledge. Just during my first year I already made life-long friendships, got to play handball with the Medical faculty team and was able to experience research first-hand. The facilities are well equipped to fully deliver the lectures and practices which makes learning easier and straightforward. The community life and the support from the senior students are also a strong point at the University. I couldn't have chosen a better University to study at.”
Felipe Salignac Brasil, Brazil, Medicine

Afnan Hossain Aysha, Bangladesh, Biochemical Engineering, BSc
“I recommend Hungary because it is cost effective in one hand, and on the other hand the educational system here is actually pretty good. The certificate from here is US and UK accredited.“
Ogbonda Davies, Nigeria
