The admission route

The standard English Medicine and Surgery degree uses limited admission through the annual national English-language selection call. Register through Universitaly and follow the relevant EU/equivalent or non-EU-resident-abroad instructions.

The reviewed 2026/27 call and rankings refer to an admission test held in September 2026. A 2027/28 test date, closing date and tuition quotation have not been verified for this record.

What to prepare

  • Passport and the application form for your nationality route.
  • Your original school-leaving qualifications, subject grades and transcripts; add degree and prerequisite-course evidence for graduate or college-entry routes. Confirm predicted-grade rules if results are pending.
  • Evidence of English or the university’s written exemption.
  • Any required motivation statement, references, medical form and passport photograph.
  • Certified copies, translations, recognition and apostille only in the format requested by this university.

This is a preparation checklist. The university’s current country-specific list determines which items you must submit.
