How do I calculate my average?
The semester’s cumulated average is calculated from the grades and the credit points
belonging to each subject. The number of credits is multiplied with the grade achieved in every
subject, then,
the amount derived so is divided by the number of all credits achieved in the semester.
Example for one semester:
Anatomy: grade 3/ 9 credits = 27
Basics of Biostatistics and Informatics: grade 4/ 3 credits = 12
Hungarian Medical Terminology I.: grade 5/ 4 credits = 20
Basics of Medical Physics: grade 5/ credit 3 =15
Medical Chemistry: grade 4/ 6 credits = 24
Basics of Medical Chemistry: grade 5/ 3 credits = 15
Medical Terminology: grade 5/2 credits = 10
Physical Education I. Ø
?: 27+12+20+15+24+15+10=123
Number of credits achieved in the 1st semester: 30
Weighted average of the first semester: 123/ 30 = 4,1
The cumulated average of the grades and credits give the result of the academic year. When
applying for a tuition reduction, the average is calculated only from the grades, without taking
into account the credits. The normal average of grades shows whether there is a possibility to
request a tuition reduction. The students’ average must be above 4,51 to get 10% tuition
reduction, and excellent (5) to get 15% tuition reduction.
What is the process of submitting the medical certificate?
Medical certificates: must be submitted to the competent department no later than by the end
of the 3rd working day, following the date of the missed exam, class, practice or lecture. The
medical certificate must be filled out in English or Hungarian, bear the doctor’s signature and
an official stamp. No medical certificate will be accepted, if written in other languages and/or
without an official stamp.
The department shall decide whether the medical certificate is acceptable. If the department
rejects the medical certificate, or the student doesn’t appear personally to justify his/her
absence, the note: „didn’t attend” = “nem jelent meg” will be entered into the student’s
lecture book and the Neptun system as well. This also applies in case the student fails to
submit the medical certificate during the 3 working days following the missed exam.
