What Happens Next?

Once your application is confirmed in the system, you will be required to take an online subject-specific entrance exam.
The entrance exam consists of four tests: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics.

Candidates may take all of them; however, it is not required to take all four tests. Candidates applying for medicine and dentistry must choose two subjects and pass both with at least 60% in each. Candidates applying for nursing studies are required to pass one subject with at least 60%. The exam material corresponds to the extended (advanced) level of secondary school.

Only after successfully passing this exam the application can be considered by the Admission Board.

The admission decision is based on the grades shown on the high school diploma, not on the results of the entrance exam. Candidates with the highest results will be qualified for the admission.

Admission to Medicine and Dentistry requires submitting results from two subjects:

• BIOLOGY (mandatory)
• CHEMISTRY or PHYSICS or MATHEMATICS

Biology is mandatory. Among Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics, only one subject is required. The subjects can be passed at any level, but results from most advanced levels are multiplied by 1,5.

Admission to Nursing requires submitting results from one subject:

• BIOLOGY or CHEMISTRY or PHYSICS or MATHEMATICS

Detailed information regarding admission requirements is available here.

The application fee should be credited to the University’s bank account before the deadline for applications. Please note that paying the fee is required in order to complete the application. A candidate who did not pay the whole fee will not be considered during the Admission Board meetings.

Tuition fees can be paid in one, two, or four installments.

• Payment in 2 installments increases the total fee by 2.5%.
• Payment in 4 installments increases the total fee by 3.5%.

The tuition fee payment account number will appear once the candidate’s status changes to “conditionally accepted” or “accepted.”

This is a multicurrency account, which means payments can be made in commonly used currencies such as EUR, USD, CAD, etc. Santander Bank Polska will automatically convert the deposited amount into Polish Zloty (PLN).

Important Information Before Making a Payment

• The candidate should carefully estimate the required amount to ensure that the correct sum is deposited in PLN.
• The University does not have information about the current exchange rates applied by the bank or any potential bank transaction fees.
• If the deposited amount exceeds the required tuition fee, the overpayment may be:
  • Refunded upon request, or
  • Used toward future payments.
