Medicine in English at Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Krakow University is a six-year medical program in Krakow. It suits applicants who want an English-taught medical degree in Poland and need to prepare science foundations, English documents and recognition steps carefully.

Medicine program overview

Best fit

Applicants who want Medicine in English in Krakow, are comfortable with a private university setting and have a clear science result in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics or Physics.

Degree outcome

The listed outcome is Medical doctor after 6 years / 12 semesters. Always confirm the final title and transcript wording on the official university page.

Recognition note

The degree is issued in Poland. Licensing still depends on the country where you want to work after graduation.

Watch out for

Do not treat this as automatic admission. You need the right school-leaving document, B2 English proof, science eligibility and, for some non-EU diploma holders, an online entry exam and NAWA recognition steps.
