SEMMELWEIS UNIVERSITY / FACULTY OF MEDICINE
Laboratory programs are on the 1 st floor, Department of Medical Chemistry, Molecular
Biology and Pathobiochemistry, “D” passage.
Exemption: Students who have certificates of their previous studies at other Universities in
Chemistry and/or Biochemistry may apply for exemptions under the following conditions:
1. They have to present their certificates regarding the courses to the responsible tutor of the
course during the first two weeks of the semester. (Dr. A. Hrabák, Department of Medical
Chemistry.)
2. Exemptions are given only after a “checking“ exam during the first month of the semester. At
this exam one of the lecturers will check whether the student’s knowledge is sufficient to
complete the semester without attending lectures and laboratory programs. This exam is based
on the question list of the semifinal or final examination, and can be obtained from the tutor of
the course. After a successful exam students are exempted from the semifinal or final exam at
the end of the semester, including attending both lectures and laboratory programs. If students
fail they must attend both lectures and laboratory programs and they have to sit for the
semifinal or final exam at the end of the semester. The exemption is valid only for one
semester unless the student successfully completes the final exam for both semesters’
material.
3. Partial exemption (i.e. only from laboratory programs or lectures) is not permitted.
