PMU Szczecin entrance exam

For 2026/2027 entry, PUM lists the registration period for the English Program from 25 May 2026 to 20 July 2026. Medicine and Dentistry candidates are ranked through educational criteria, not a standard entrance exam. PUM considers Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics; at least two of these subjects must appear on the certificate, one must be taught at advanced level for at least two school years or four semesters, and the remaining subject must be taught at basic level for at least one school year or two semesters. If all four subjects are present, PUM takes the two highest final grades. From 1 July 2025, candidates with certificates issued outside the EU, EFTA, OECD and countries covered by recognition agreements may need an individual NAWA recognition statement confirming eligibility for long-cycle studies in Poland. PUM says final admission is based on that NAWA written information where it is required.
