Medicine is a six-year (twelve-semester) full-time long-cycle Master's programme taught entirely in English at the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn. It is designed for international students who want an EU-recognised medical degree and clinical contact from the very first year.
The curriculum moves step by step from the foundations of the human body to specialist clinical medicine:
Clinical skills labs run through the first five years, and problem-based learning is a regular part of the first four. Groups are small, which gives you close contact with teachers from the first weeks. Part of your clinical training takes place in the Modern Simulation Center, where advanced technology is used to recreate realistic scenarios. Classes combine in-person and remote formats, and some clinical seminars are available online, so you can revisit them before exams.
Summer clerkships begin in the first year with nursing care and later cover primary health care, emergency care, internal medicine, surgery, paediatrics, intensive care, and gynaecology and obstetrics, while clinical rotations across hospitals in Olsztyn give you exposure to a wide range of specialties.
All teaching is in English, so you study in a multicultural environment and prepare for an international career. Polish language classes are part of the first two years, and a University Preparation Course is designed to help international students adapt to the academic environment.
The Erasmus+ Exchange Programme gives you opportunities to study abroad during your degree.
