Information about school start
When you arrive to a university from a different country, there are lots of things you need to know - from residence permit and medical care, to student card and bank account, etc. Useful information for international students coming to Pécs can be found on this link: Upon Arrival (pte.hu)
Academic year calendar
The University or the Faculty publishes the calendar for the academic year before the current academic term. The Academic Year Calendar contains the most important events of the semester and the dates, times and deadlines associated with them. The calendar may be changed before the beginning of the semester, but only in exceptional cases and for good cause during the semester. It is essential that deadlines for events and activities are respected, and no late action is possible.
Class Schedule
The Class Schedules are available on Neptun unified education system: Studies → Class schedule → Institution class schedule.
Neptun unified education system
The University of Pécs uses the Neptun unified eduation system to register student data and organise study procedures. With the help of the study system, you can find out directly, online, about the tasks related to your studies, the data registered about you, the financial information concerning you, and you can also participate in the procedures related to your studies. The system can be found at University of Pécs | Neptun Unified Education System (pte.hu). Please select the Neptun student icon!
Every student has the right and the duty to use the Neptun unified education system, as this is the interface where they enroll (see later), register or suspend their student status, take/leave courses, and register for exams in the following semesters.
To start your studies, you must be a student. The student status is established upon enrollment.

After the end of the course registration, i.e. after 19 September 2025, students are obliged to check their registered subjects in the Neptun unified education system! Complaints and requests for changes can be made within 8 working days after the closing date, after that no changes can be made!
Other important information
Student card:
As an enrolled, active student, you will be entitled to a student card. As a first step in the application process, you will need to go to the Government Office, where your photo and signature will be recorded on the NEK datasheet.
For more information, please visit https://international.pte.hu/current-students/upon-arrival/student-card.
The earliest time the University can forward your application - recorded in Neptun - to the Education Office is early September (after the start of the academic term).
Preliminary health aptitude test
If you are enrolled in the Bachelor's degree programme in Pre-School Teacher, you must undergo a preliminary health aptitude test before you can take part in practical training. This requirement is due to the fact that kindergartens are considered high-priority workplaces for epidemiological reasons.
The Faculty will organise the aptitude tests, the date and place of the test will be communicated later via Neptun.
Exam period
08 December 2025 - 19 December 2025
Assessment of knowledge and assessment of studies are specified in the curriculum for the courses. The examination will take place during the examination period, in the official premises of the University, on which acquired knowledge is tested by the examiner (usually the course instructor),written, oral or through practical tests.
The exam dates are announced in Neptun, where students can register for the exams. After registering, students may switch to a different exam session if the original date is not suitable and there is still availability on the alternative date. The system allows you to unregister from the examination platform up to 36 hours before the examination date, and closes registration 24 hours before the examination date.
Final exam (comprehensive exam): An exam that checks your knowledge of several courses, which may be from different semesters. Signing up for the course also counts as signing up for the exam. Final exams must be taken in front of a committee.
IMPORTANT!
To assess students’ knowledge of a subject during the exam period, three exam dates are offered. Students must plan their schedule so they can attend all three dates if needed.
If a student fails to use the first or second examination opportunity advertised the number of opportunities will be reduced and the instructor (the Faculty) will not be obliged to provide any further to announce further appointments. The first and, if necessary, the second examination of the course in the semester in question examination (remedial examination) is free of charge. The third time (revision examination) is subject to a fee. After the second exam the student can transcribe the fee of the given exam in the Neptun, then he/she shall pay it online in the Neptun, with bank card, via bank transfer, at the cashier in cash. The fee must be paid before the start of the examination!
