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.
The listed outcome is Master of Pharmacy after 5.5 years. Always confirm the final title and transcript wording on the official university page.
The degree is issued in Poland. Licensing still depends on the country where you want to work after graduation.
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.
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.
Use the Faculty of Pharmacy candidate pages for the Pharmacy schedule. Do not rely on Medicine or Dentistry deadlines for Pharmacy.
The requirements page focuses on Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics or Physics results, with different conversion rules by certificate type.
The Faculty of Pharmacy lists IELTS 6.0, TOEFL 90, CEFR B2, TOEIC 700 or accepted equivalents for candidates who need English proof.
The faculty fee page lists a EUR 20 application fee and Pharmacy tuition by year, but applicants should verify the latest payment instructions before paying.
Timelines depend on the university, applicant category and intake. Check the official admission page for the target year before booking an exam.
Biology is one of the most common medical-admission subjects and should be prepared from the official syllabus.
Chemistry is common for Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy. Veterinary and Pre-Med programs can differ by university.
English may be tested directly or checked through certificates and diagnostic exams depending on applicant background.
