Recruitment Paths
The Admission Board conducts the qualification process and calculates ranking points during recruitment for the 6-year Medicine Program at the Medical University of Warsaw. The legal basis is certain acts of the Republic of Poland (Journal of Laws of 2025, item 622) and the Recruitment Resolution.
The Admission Board first reviews your documents and verifies that you are eligible to be considered for admission to a university program. Not every certificate of secondary education grants such rights.
The next step is calculating the points earned for grades in the required subjects, which constitute criterion 1. We only consider the grades obtained on documents certifying secondary education (final grades).
Criterion 2 depends on the recruitment path. The basic recruitment path is to sit a competency test.
It is possible, however, to get an exemption from the competency test based on a Medical Standardised Test Score (UCAT, BMAT, MCAT, GAMSAT, HPAT) or University GPA (BSc or MSc holders).
Note: Pursuant to the Act of April 4, 2025, on amending certain acts to eliminate irregularities in the visa system of the Republic of Poland (Journal of Laws of 2025, item 622), the rules of admission to long-cycle degree programmes have been amended.
Most candidates are not eligible for exemption from the competency test.

I got an exemption from the competency test,
but I must take an additional exam in biology, chemistry, or physics. Why?
Criterion 1 is calculated similarly for all candidates applying to the 6-year Medicine Program at the Medical University of Warsaw, including those with Medical Standardised Test Scores and Bachelor's or Master's degree holders.
We only consider the grades obtained on documents certifying secondary education (final grades), which constitute criterion 1.
If your high school diploma doesn't include mandatory subjects, you must take an extra exam in that subject as a separate exam.
We organise exams in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. You can take exams in only two missing subjects. You pass the exam if you score at least 30% of the possible points.
If you do not take the exam, then you cannot participate in recruitment for the 6-year Medicine Program at the Medical University of Warsaw.
