The University takes a holistic approach to training a broad range of health specialists who are expected to use their knowledge and skills for the benefit of society as a whole, whether in the field of education, research, or health care.
Its six faculties offer over 30 programmes from the undergraduate to the doctoral level in Hungarian, English and/or German.
