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 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 you intend to follow. 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).
The Online Recruitment System (ORS) is the only way to register and apply to the Medical University of Warsaw 6-year Medicine Program in English. We do not accept any other form of application.
You must select the correct type of application in the ORS.
The type of ORS application depends on the recruitment path you intend to follow and the type of documents confirming the secondary education. See below for more information.

I got an exemption from the competency test
but must take an additional biology, chemistry or physics exam. Why?
Criterion 1 is calculated similarly for all candidates applying for the 6-year Medicine Program at the Medical University of Warsaw, including Medical Standardised Test Scores and Bachelor or Master 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. The exam is passed 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.
