·      Attending the practicals is compulsory, absence – including justified ones – should be retaken. Retake can happen on the same week by joining another group or attending the extra practical on the last week of the semester. Students can absolve the practical with another group if there are free seats available.

·      Preparation to the practicals is controlled in the form of written or oral tests. Students without knowing the theoretical subject of the practical are regarded absent.

·      Students can sit to the examination after attending all practicals and showing at least satisfactory level of knowledge (60%) during the semester.

·           Students can sign to the exams through the NEPTUN system.

·           The maximum number of examinees is 14 per day including the English and the Hungarian class.

·           The examination starts at 8.00 o’clock, the last report is at 9.00 o’clock.

·           The students receive 3 questions, one on general and two on specific bacteriology.

·           The final note is defined by the oral exam (75%) and the achievements during the practicals (25%).

·           The examination is successful if at least satisfactory level of knowledge (Note 2) is shown in the case of each question.

·           Evaluation of the exam: excellent (90-100%), good (80-89%), satisfactory (70-79%), pass (60-69%), fail (<60%).

·           If a student has to go to the toilet during the exam, she/he will receive additional questions.

·           No mobile phones or other technical apparats can be with the students at the exam not even in switched off position. Having such apparats at the exam will result interrupted exam and failing.

·           Using illegal tools at the exam results disciplinary action and the exam is concluded with a ’fail’ mark.
