Wroclaw Medical entrance exam

For 2026/2027 entry, Wroclaw Medical University says the application period runs from 4 May 2026 to mid-September 2026 in four rounds. Medicine and Dentistry admission is mainly based on high-school certificate grades, not a classic entrance exam. Applicants submit Biology plus one of Chemistry, Physics or Mathematics. The maximum score is 300 points: 150 for Biology and 150 for the second subject. Candidates need at least 30 points in each subject and at least 100 points in total. Candidates with high-school diplomas issued outside the EU, EFTA, OECD, Ukraine and China are also required to submit a NAWA recognition statement or school-superintendent recognition decision and sit an online subject-specific entrance exam. The FAQ says this exam assesses Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics at advanced upper-secondary level, uses multiple-choice questions with one correct answer, and is pass-only: admission points are still calculated from certificate results.
