    Kosice is 4 years if you already have a science degree and 6 years if you have only the leaving cert.

    Hey Cathy
    dont know where you are located but the university's website is pretty good and Budapest has a rep in Ireland, his name is Tim O' Leary hes a vet in ballydehob and he is very helpful. <<<<<personal details snipped>>>>>
    I am applying as a graduate for september 13 to, but its good to keep your options open. There are a few programs taught through english in europe like Kosice in Slovakia, Warsaw and Wroclaw in Poland, and Brno in the Czech republic there is a good irish website with info on all of them I think its called eunicas or something it was in the irish times recently so maybe check that out..good luck with the leaving cert..:)

    Anything u want to know Tim the rep will be fit to tell up, the website is also very good. No I've the leaving cert done back in 2010/2011, I've transferred from college which means no entrance exams :)

    Ya I've emailed him to see if he can put me in contact with a first or second year. I just have so much questions haha. Can you send me a link to the website, I think I'm looking at the wrong site haha. I'm the same as you. I'm first year in UCD at the moment doing ag science so no entrance exam for me either. It's brilliant :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 20 JohnMac93


    Hello, I will be taking the entrance exam next time, could someone point me in the direction of any material (e.g books or past papers) that would help with the entrance topics?.

  • Registered Users Posts: 6 Rodgie 13

    I didn't want to start another thread for this so thought I would just post here. I'm thinking about applying to the Slovakian and Polish universities. Does anyone here have much info on these universities compared with Hungry?


  • Registered Users Posts: 8 Monaghan Farmer 2


    Warsaw. 5.5 years. Fees about 7600. Were far from helpful when I contacted them, took3 weeks to reply to 1 email.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6 Rodgie 13


    I just met 2 people the other day that are starting in september as well. They are transfer veterinary nursing students from UCD. I am transfering from Athlone IT. Where are u transfering from yourself?? Do you know when we have to be over there by? Are u definitely going over?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5 A94


    I am doing business,do you have to have science subjects in the course you are transfering from to be able to transfer?


  • Registered Users Posts: 6 Rodgie 13


    Yea think you need science subjects. I didnt have to do any entrance exam but id say u will if ya have no science back ground. When are u applyin? Are u gonna try get in to start in september?

    I'm transferring from NUIG. I'd say being over there the last week of August would be grand. I'm definately going anyway


  • Registered Users Posts: 5 A94


    I think they hold late entrance exams in agust if they still have places left,or i will have to do a pre veterinary course there for a semester then take an entrance exam because i havent done chemistry before!.I'd love to go this september but the entrance exam is to soon and i wouldent be ready for it!!

    Hey everyone!

    I know some of you said you were accepted as transfer students.
    I have just done my Leaving Cert this year and really want to do some line of work related to animals but didn't do Chemistry or Biology, just Ag Science.
    Is it possible for me to apply to Budapest as a transfer student after completing the level 6 Veterinary Nursing course in St. Johns and not sit an entrance exam ?
    Or would I find the course extremely difficult having not done Chemistry and Biology ?

    Thank you all in advance, I really appreciate any advice :)

    Hey I'm going into my second year over there now. There are so many people who have never done chemistry before and a lot of them are doing really well and some of them actually got grinds for it over there so there is help if you need it and the lecturers are there if you want help as well.

    Hi, I was just wondering how many students are there in the classes? And is there a difference in the number of students during the first year and second year (do a lot of people quit between the first and second year)?
    Thank you very much in advance ^^!

    Hi there are about 120 in the class I think just over 30 Irish in the class. But I am just going into my 2nd year in September but I would imagine more people would drop out at the end of 2nd year if they are going to leave as after 2nd year if they've failed all their exam chances for some exams they will become inactive for a year...so sorry but I can't really answer that question at the moment :)

    Hi ,

    i have a 2 bedroom apartment in Budapest , 5 min walk from the vet college if anyone is interested


  • Registered Users Posts: 6 BellamysPiano


    Hi I am in my 4th year of animal science in UCD, currently putting together my applications for Budapest and Slovakia to study veterinary. I have always wanted to do veterinary but didn't get the points in the leaving cert, I am just wondering if anybody knows of particular grants available to study abroad or as a postgrad? I chose to do animal science as a way of applying for veterinary with my degree although I am fearful that if accepted I will not be able to afford to go. If anybody knows of any financial aid I would appreciate it so much. Thank you, Niamh.


  • Registered Users Posts: 249 ✭✭Murray007


    I am doing the leaving cert this year and as I haven't chemistry, I plan to do the pre med at McDaniel College.

    Anyone any experience of this course, is it worth doing, what is college life like?

    Also, I am aiming for 350-400 points in LC, is that standard sufficient to do ok in vet medicine?


  • Registered Users Posts: 4 grumpyblonde


    Hi,

    I'm doing the leaving this year. What points do you need to get to be accepted?
    I'm doing biology and chemistry and love both so I'm happy to sit the entrance exam and am hoping to get around 430-460 points, would that be enough?

    If not I hope to transfer after 1st year vet nursing/ag science :)

    Any help much appreciated!

    Hi

    I'm applying to do the veterinary science degree to start September 2014.

    If there is anyone hoping to do the same it would be great to get to know a few people here :)

    Also any info regarding the cost of living out there generally for food etc would be great!

    Thanks!


  • Registered Users Posts: 395 ✭✭bonescap


    I am not sure about Svent but other colleges in europe have bio and chemistry entrance exams which you must take to be accepted into the course. Have a look at the two sites below, they have some good information which might help you.

    Hi!

    I'm applying to Budapest as well! I'm absolutely terrified for it?!

    There's meant to be loads of Irish outside there but I'm worried I won't be able for the workload.


    Does anyone have any info on accommodation?

    Thanks!


  • Registered Users Posts: 4 KG1995


    Hey! Iv'e applied as well :)
    Have any of you gotten the entrance exam date yet??
    I really hope I get in!! Budapest is such a gorgeous city!! If I get in Im thinking of setting up a facebook page for our year group :P Im glad someone set up this thread!

    I've applied to start in september 2014 and am planning on doing the entrance exam/interview in May. Just wondering what sort of questions they ask in the interview?? Also who takes the interview? Any help or opinions is much appreciated! I don't want to be caught off guard! Thanks!


  • Registered Users Posts: 4 infoplease


    Hi thank you :) , I found out through email and will soon receive a letter in the post , if you ask the rep Tim either he will let you know asap ,.

    About the interview and exam I am not sure sorry :( I got accepted as a transfer student.


  • Registered Users Posts: 15 McLivestock


    300 euro a month will cover you for your apartment & bills. Another 250-300 will cover your food/general bits and pieces. As regards accomodation look up roommatesbudapest and search for an apartment, or use an agent such as qed property or homemanagement.hu, both are very helpful. Any other questions send me a pm and I'll try and answer them


  • Registered Users Posts: 4 infoplease


    Hey guys :) I have been accepted for 2014 and also would like to get to know a few people going over so please feel free to pm me :) thank you


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 901 ✭✭✭xLisaBx


    Hey guys, my cousin is studying there at the moment. The workload is intense and the failure rate is high, be prepared for lots of chemistry. Lecturers aren't too nice either.
