Medical University of Bialystok is a public medical university in north-eastern Poland with a six-year Medicine program taught in English. It is a good fit for applicants who want a smaller student city, a central campus and a Medicine-only English degree option.
MUB lists Medicine in English as a long-cycle program through the Faculty of Medicine with the Division of Dentistry and the Division of Medical Education in English. The official admission page says the university has around 6,000 students and about 475 students in the English Division, with applicants coming from many countries.

Student life in Bialystok
City fit

Budget check
Compare tuition, rent, food, documents, flights and exam fees together. A lower tuition number does not always mean the cheapest total year.
