“As part of my semester abroad, I had the opportunity to study at Semmelweis University in Budapest. During my stay, I wrote a scientific project in the field of periodontology, supervised by the local professors. Part of my work involved measuring radiographs and analysing and writing up the results in English. … In addition, I was able to take various courses, gain valuable practical experience – including my first tooth extraction – and gain many interesting insights into the Hungarian study system. Particularly enriching was the personal exchange with students and lecturers on site. … Budapest itself impressed me with its stunning architecture, cultural diversity and vibrant atmosphere. … I would also like to highlight the excellent cooperation between Semmelweis University and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, which made this project possible in the first place.”
