The exam assesses the candidate’s knowledge at the Polish high school level in biology (mandatory) and either chemistry or physics, depending on the candidate’s choice.

Admission to the English-language medical program is based on a ranking system. The final position in the ranking depends on the number of points obtained either from the school-leaving certificate or the entrance exam. Once the qualification process is complete, the ranking list will be published on the university’s website. Candidates can track their results using their individual application number.

Students who wish to transfer from another university should plan to take the exam as early as possible , as additional time is needed to submit applications for subject recognition and credit transfers.
