The admission route

The International Medical Doctor Program requires the university’s own admission test. EU/equivalent and non-EU-abroad applicants use separate calls. Foreign school qualifications need evaluation before test registration can be completed.

For the reviewed 2026/27 call, foreign-diploma applicants were instructed to register at least five days before the relevant deadline. Published 2026 test scores do not carry forward to the following academic year. The 2027/28 call has not been verified.

Check the rules for your expected graduation year. Recognition of a qualification, registration, a training place and permission to work are separate decisions.

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.
