How the UMFST Medicine interview route works

The 2026 methodology says admission covers personal-statement assessment, previous-activity assessment and an online interview. Candidates are ranked in descending order of scores and in the order of application.

Personal statement

UMFST asks for a one-page statement about motivation, medical plans, readiness and relevant extracurricular activity.

Previous activity

High school grades and proven extracurricular activities are assessed according to the university grid.

Online interview

The interview evaluates compatibility with the medical profession and language skills for the English-taught programme.

For Medimentor positioning, this is a file-and-interview route. Strong Biology and Chemistry still matter for medical-school readiness and backup choices, but this page should not imply that UMFST Medicine has a written subject entrance exam for the 2026 international route.

UMFST lists the 2026/27 tuition fee for newly enrolled Medicine international students at EUR 10,000 per academic year. In case of admission or conditional admission, the deposit is EUR 5,000, deducted from first-year tuition and marked as non-refundable.
