As a six-year medical degree, the program combines preclinical science subjects with clinical rotations, preparing graduates for licensing examinations and careers as physicians or specialists after further postgraduate training. The structured, document-based application process reflects the standard route used by Polish medical universities to verify a candidate's secondary education, language readiness, and health fitness for medical study before admission to the English-language track.
