4th September, 2026

Last Friday, 340 students from 56 countries officially began their journey in the Pre-Med Program at McDaniel College Budapest.

The day began with a Budapest Race, giving our new students the opportunity to explore the city.

Later that day, the celebrations started with the official Opening Ceremony, where Program Director Enikő Szabó warmly welcomed the new students. Zsuzsa Wollner followed with an inspiring message as the organiser of our Alumni Network, reminding our students that they are not only joining a program, but becoming part of a lifelong community.

 

The ceremony continued with video messages from Members of the Pre-Med Alumni Network. We thank Dr. Yarden Yanishevsky and Dr. Arda Oytun Kiyan for sharing their experiences and encouraging the new students.

The day concluded with a reception where students had an opportunity to meet and connect.

We are delighted to welcome our 340 new students to McDaniel College and look forward to seeing them grow, learn, and build lasting friendships and professional connections during their time with us.

Welcome to Budapest, and welcome to the Pre-Med Community!
