VIZJA Warsaw entrance exam
All candidates who want to study Pharmacy in English must take a placement test at the beginning of the first semester. VIZJA says the test checks Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and English for the pharmaceutical industry. A positive result allows the student to study without the preparatory semester; other students complete the preparatory semester. This is not the same as a classic Medicine entrance exam, but it still makes Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and pharmaceutical English preparation relevant. Non-EU diploma holders may also need the online general-knowledge entry exam described in the admission guide.
