Master in Medicine

Medicine at Poznan University of Medical Sciences (PUMS) in Poznań is a master's degree program lasting six years across twelve semesters, taught in English, with yearly tuition of 60,500 PLN. The program is open to both undergraduate and graduate applicants and leads to a professional degree of Doctor of Medicine, a qualification that opens paths to medical licensing on multiple continents. A six-year medical degree of this kind typically combines preclinical science subjects such as anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and pharmacology with clinical training across specialties including internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, and psychiatry, preparing graduates for licensing examinations and careers as physicians or specialists after further postgraduate training. PUMS structures admission around a demonstrated academic record in the sciences: applicants need a secondary school degree or equivalent credentials at a level sufficient for university admission in their home country, issued no earlier than 2016, though an older secondary school certificate is accepted where the applicant has continued formal education beyond 2016. Candidates must show a high level of knowledge in biology, chemistry, and physics, high proficiency in English, and satisfactory grades in biology, chemistry, and mathematics or physics, covering at least two subjects including biology, from prior education at secondary school, college, or university level. Admission also includes an entrance examination in biology, chemistry, and physics, together with an interview. Applicants holding Polish high school leaving certificates must first apply to and achieve a minimum score of 160 points in the admission proceedings for the Polish-language medical program at PUMS before becoming eligible to apply to this English-language program, an additional step specific to domestic Polish applicants.
