Medical studies take 6 years to complete and allow you to gain general knowledge in most fields of medicine. The first two years focus on teaching theory and are to some extent similar to high school in terms of the subjects taught. Clinical classes, i.e. those requiring contact with patients, start in the third year and are the first opportunity to see what a doctor's work looks like in practice. The last, sixth year of studies is almost entirely dedicated to working with patients in the hospital. After completing studies, the graduates can pass a state exam LEK and complete a 13-month-long postgraduate internship in order to gain medical license in Poland, or continue their medical career in other countries. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
Decision about admission is based on grades on secondary school graduation certificate.
Admission to Medicine and Dentistry requires submitting results from two subjects: - BIOLOGY (mandatory)
- CHEMISTRY or PHYSICS or MATHEMATICS
Biology is mandatory. Among Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics, only one subject is required. The subjects can be passed at any level, but results from most advanced levels are multiplied by 1,5.
Other than the secondary school graduation certificate, the candidate needs to submit the following documents: - A sworn translation of the high school diploma and transcript of grades into Polish – if the original documents are issued in English, the sworn translation into Polish may be submitted after the decision on conditional acceptance has been issued. The translation must be prepared on the basis of the original documents (not scans) by a sworn translator registered with the Polish Ministry of Justice.
- English language certificate (at min. level B2)
- application form generated from the IRK system,

- notarized parental/legal guardian consent form (required only for students under 18 years of age),
- a written statement issued by the Director of NAWA confirming that the certificate entitles the holder to apply for admission to higher education in Poland or an administrative decision from the Polish school superintendent confirming recognition of the certificate (required only for holders of a secondary school certificate issued in a country outside the EU, EFTA, OECD, Ukraine, or China).
