MEDICINE / COUNTRY GUIDE
Compare six-year English medical degrees in Warsaw, Łódź and Poznań, with university-specific entrance tests, documented fees and a separate postgraduate licensing plan.
The directory counts cover selected international medicine routes. Any wider national reference has its own year and applicant scope. Separate faculties and entry routes may have separate profiles; current intake availability is stated in each profile.

Tests, requirements & exceptions ↓ADMISSION / AT A GLANCE
There is no shared national entrance test for the English medicine routes compared here. Warsaw and Poznań run their own selection; a test exemption at one university does not apply to another.
Admission sources checked . Each requirement retains its programme and intake scope.
Normally required. The 2026/27 rules say most candidates are not eligible for exemption; alternative test scores or a life-sciences degree need eligibility under the current rules and Admissions Board acceptance.
Applies to: Medical University of Warsaw, English six-year Medicine, 2026/27
Official requirements for Warsaw competency test ↗Required in the published route: a 60-question natural-science quiz followed by an oral examination/interview.
Applies to: Poznan University of Medical Sciences, English Medicine
Official requirements for PUMS science quiz and interview ↗An admission test, language requirement and medical licensing examination serve different purposes. For Indian citizens and OCI applicants, NEET eligibility is a separate India-return planning requirement; it does not automatically replace the destination university’s selection.
The seven-month English internship advertised by PUMS must not be represented as meeting India’s twelve-month foreign-internship requirement. Read the Indian requirements →
Decide where you want to practise before selecting a degree. Ask the faculty and medical regulator how an Indian citizen with your planned residence status can complete training and become registered.

Retain transcripts, rotation logs and internship documentation throughout the programme. Plan Polish language learning alongside the English degree.

These are direct-entry medical degrees after eligible secondary education. Admission is not through one national English-language test: each university evaluates the school qualification and sets its own examination rules.
Build your shortlist around the whole route: degree, hospital training, postgraduate internship and registration. An English classroom does not remove the need to communicate with Polish patients.

Choose preparation materials for the exact university. A preparation course, NEET score or another university’s test does not automatically replace the examination below.
| University | Published selection route | Useful preparation |
|---|---|---|
| Medical University of Warsaw | 2026/27: Biology and Chemistry plus Physics or Mathematics; school points and a competency-test criterion contribute to ranking. | Review the faculty’s accepted subjects, test exemptions and English certificate list. |
| Medical University of Łódź | Two school subjects from Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics, followed by its online entrance examination. | Prepare to explain scientific reasoning, not only recall facts. |
| Poznan University of Medical Sciences | 60 science questions in 60 minutes, followed by a 20–40 minute interview. | Biology, Chemistry, Physics, motivation and spoken scientific English. |

PUMS publishes a Fall 2027 application deadline of 20 July 2027 and a teaching start of 6 September 2027. Its examination page lists Abu Dhabi on 5–6 June 2027; India dates remain to be announced. A published venue is not confirmation of an available seat.
The Warsaw and Łódź evidence in this guide concerns the 2026 intake. Their 2027 deadlines are pending here; do not reuse a 2026 closing date as a 2027 deadline.

The figures are university charges, excluding living costs and postgraduate internship. PUMS’s published six-year tuition total for its 2026 cohort is PLN 485,000. Currency conversion is deliberately not fixed.
| University / cohort | Tuition | Application or payment detail |
|---|---|---|
| Warsaw, 2026/27 entry | €18,800 per year | Two instalments total €19,200; four total €19,600. Instalments cost more than the single annual payment. |
| Łódź, October 2026 entry | €15,100 in year 1; €14,900/year in years 2–6 | €24 non-refundable application fee before the online examination. |
| PUMS, 2026 entry | PLN 71,000/year in years 1–2; PLN 85,750/year in years 3–6 | PLN 4,800 down payment is included in tuition, not an additional annual charge. |

The PUMS housing table effective July 2026 includes ordinary room options of approximately PLN 820–1,500 per month, with some rates excluding utilities and higher single-occupancy options. A PLN 2,000 dormitory deposit is listed. These are Poznań housing examples, not a Poland-wide monthly budget.
Add meals, transport, insurance, books, flights, visa/residence fees and an emergency reserve. Compare the invoice’s PLN or EUR currency with your bank’s exchange and transfer costs.
NAWA’s SYRENA service issues an individual secondary-certificate recognition statement without a fee. Some qualifications are automatically recognised, including defined treaty and EU/OECD/EFTA cases and IB/EB diplomas. Other certificates require the individual route.
The application uses the final school certificate, marks, earlier education records, identification and translations where required. Studying an Indian curriculum in Oman does not turn the award into an Omani qualification. Keep recognition, apostille/legalisation and translation as separate tasks.

The Polish study-visa checklist updated 14 May 2026 separates tuition from subsistence, accommodation and return travel. It uses PLN 1,010 per month for living expenses, actual accommodation costs and PLN 2,500 for return travel in the relevant applicant route.
Use the checklist’s accepted financial-document categories; do not assume that any savings statement satisfies them. Prepare admission, tuition payment, school recognition and language evidence together. The amount used for immigration is a documentary threshold, not a comfortable six-year budget.

Poland’s Riyadh mission publishes the national D-visa route covering its consular district, including Oman. It requires personal submission and an e-Konsulat appointment. Keep proof of lawful residence with your passport.
For studies, the page lists admission, tuition payment, sufficient funds, school qualifications, applicable NAWA evidence and at least B2 language certification. Use the study section: the separate work-visa draw instructions are not a student booking guide. Confirm the physical submission arrangements before arranging travel.

The Polish Health Ministry describes the standard postgraduate medical internship separately from the degree. PUMS also advertises a paid English medical internship lasting seven months; the participant fee depends on the group. Its displayed April 2026 application deadline is historical.
The shorter English route and the standard Polish route must not be treated as interchangeable for every destination. Before paying, obtain the duration, location, supervision, completion certificate and regulator recognition in writing.

PUMS identifies postgraduate training, LEK and Polish-language requirements on the route to practising in Poland. EU recognition also depends on the completed professional qualification and the destination regulator; a medical diploma alone is not universal permission to practise.
For the NMC route, document the required foreign internship and local registration separately. A seven-month option leaves a material gap against the twelve-month requirement; do not assume an additional placement anywhere will repair it.
