Medicine in English at Medical University of Warsaw is a six-year MD program in Poland's capital. The main preparation focus is Biology, Chemistry and decision-making questions for the WUM online competency test.

Medicine program overview

Best fit

Applicants who want a large capital-city medical university, a clearly published Medicine competency test and strong access to Warsaw hospitals, research clubs and student organizations.

Degree outcome

The listed outcome is MD / Lekarz after 6 years / 384 ECTS. 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

WUM is not the cheapest Poland option, and the Medicine competency test is not just Biology and Chemistry memorization. It also checks decision making and problem solving. Pharmacy uses a different faculty process, so do not assume the Medicine/Dentistry rules apply to Pharmacy.

City fit

Warsaw is Poland's largest city, so students get the widest city life and transport network in this Poland list, but also a higher monthly budget. WUM says the Faculty of Medicine has 5 teaching hospitals, 3 campuses, over 200 research clubs across the university and more than 100 AZS WUM sports sections.

Medicine curriculum and recognition

WUM lists Medicine as a 384-ECTS program. Students study morphology, scientific foundations of medicine, pre-clinical subjects, behavioural and social sciences, clinical subjects, public health and legal-organisational aspects of medicine. Practical clinical classes start in year 4, and students complete summer clerkships after each year.

WUM degrees are Polish university degrees inside the EU higher-education system. Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy recognition still depends on the country where the graduate wants to register, so applicants should check the relevant medical, dental or pharmacy regulator before choosing a program.

Expect early work in Biology, Chemistry and basic medical or health-science subjects.

Core program modules

The middle years move into program-specific subjects, labs, seminars and practical training.

Clinical or practical work
