Semmelweis University Scholarships for International Students

Posted on by

Semmelweis University is one of Hungary’s oldest universities founded in 1769. The university is not based on campus and so its buildings are located around Budapest, the country’s capital city. Semmelweis University teaches many of its courses in English and so attracts thousands of international students every year.

If you are looking to study abroad, Hungary has a lot to offer. The nightlife in the capital city is recognized all over Europe and its food and culture is a must-experience for any traveler. Not only this, but the university fees are a lot cheaper than in many other European countries. If you still require some help, however, see below for a list of Semmelweis University’s top scholarships on offer to international students.
