PUMS Pre-Medical Summer Program is a short July program in Poznan for students who want early exposure to medical school, campus life and practical workshops before applying to a degree.

Pre-Med program overview

Best fit

Applicants who want Medicine or Dentistry in English, prefer a practical interview plus science-quiz admission model, and like the idea of a mid-sized Polish student city rather than the largest capital-city setting.

Course outcome

The listed outcome is a Certificate program after 7-16 July 2026. This is preparation before degree admission, not the final medical, dental or pharmacy degree.

Recognition note

A preparatory course is not a professional license. Recognition and licensing depend on the later degree program and the country where you want to work.

Watch out for

Do not treat the old Pharmacy mentions as a current application option without checking PUMS directly. For Medicine and Dentistry, the entrance exam has both a written science quiz and an oral interview, so students need topic knowledge and clear spoken explanations.

City fit

Poznan is a large but manageable student city with strong public transport and a lower-pressure feel than Warsaw. PUMS lists four dormitories for English-program students, monthly dormitory fees from 1,500 to 3,200 PLN, a medical simulation center, clinical hospitals and student support through CMEE.
