Midwifery BSc

About the course

A four-year (8-semester), 240-credit full-time BSc taught in English at the Faculty of Health Sciences in Budapest (2 years for those who already hold a Nursing BSc). Teaching combines small groups and simulation with clinical practice.

Entry requirements for Irish students

• The university assesses the Irish Leaving Certificate individually and does not publish a fixed Irish requirement. Contact admissions to confirm.
• Entrance exam: an online oral exam via Zoom assessing knowledge, skills, motivation and personality; the page also mentions a written test that gauges proficiency. See the programme modules document for exam subjects.
• English: upper intermediate (CEFR B2) level, shown by a certificate or equivalent document, e.g. IELTS 5.5, TOEFL 50+, Duolingo 85+, PTE 51+ or Cambridge 162+. No exemption for native speakers is stated, so confirm with admissions.

Working in Ireland afterwards

Midwifery qualifications from EU/EEA countries go through the same NMBI process as nursing: recognition first, then registration. Qualifications listed in Annex V of Directive 2005/36/EC can use the G1 automatic recognition pathway, where NMBI only checks your paperwork. Others may be assessed under the general system (G2) and may need a compensation measure; NMBI has adaptation guidance for midwives. Your group is decided through NMBI’s MyNMBI tool, and English-language requirements apply.
