Obtaining pre-degree certificate

According to Code of Studies and Examinations of the University of Pécs the graduate student must obtain a pre-degree certificate in order to take the final exam, which is an administrative procedure in Neptun system and it is done by study administrators. (Code of Studies and Examinations of the University of Pécs; Article 2. 63. pre-degree certificate means a certificate issued by the University for the student who has passed the academic and examination requirements and the prescribed professional practice – except for writing the thesis work (thesis, degree thesis) – and has earned the prescribed number of credits).

After obtaining the pre-degree certificate, your student status will be ’Absolved’ in Neptun and final exam can be taken as follows:

Article 50 (3) of Act CCIV of 2011 on National Higher Education:

"Students may take the final examination after obtaining the pre-degree certificate. The final examination may be taken in the final examination period following the award of the pre-degree certificate within the framework of the student's student legal status, and within two years after the termination of the student's status, in any examination period, according to the applicable training requirements. The Code of Studies and Examinations may make the final examination conditional upon the expiry of the second year after the issue of the final certificate. No final examination may be taken after the fifth year following the end of the student's student legal status.”

Students, who no longer have active student status

For students, who no longer have active student status, the administration fee for the final examination is 20 000 HUF according to Annex 1 of the Code of Charges and Benefits.

Settling administrative fee:

To transcribe an item, login to your Neptun account, then go through the following steps:

click on Menu tab › then select Finances › To Be Paid › click on transcribe item line: blue New Item icon › Title of payment: Service title › Term (select actual term e.g. 2024/25/2) › Service type: Final closing exam fee for those without student status. No Subject type need to be filled out.
