Degree recognition and career prospects
A degree from the Albert Szent-Györgyi Medical School of the University of Szeged comes from an EU country. Hungary is a member of the European Union, so Directive 2005/36/EC applies: your diploma is automatically recognised throughout the EU/EEA and in Switzerland, with no equivalence assessment or additional examination. This applies to the six-year Medicine programme as well as to the five-year Dentistry programme.
Your licence to practise is issued by the competent authority of the country where you want to work. Alongside the application, it will usually ask for proof of language skills at a professional level. How quickly it decides depends on the country.
After that, specialist training begins on the same terms as for graduates of domestic medical schools; dentistry graduates follow the same path to a dental licence. Because the degree is valid throughout the European Union, you do not have to commit to one country later on: Hungary or any other EU member state remain equally possible.

Can I transfer to a university in my home country during my studies?
There is no automatic transfer route. A transfer to a domestic faculty involves an individual credit-recognition process and depends on available places in higher semesters. Plan your studies as a complete path to graduation.
