Before you apply
Dates, scoring and admissions
Key dates
- Applications open
- Not yet published2027/28 dates not yet published, although the Senate adopted the 2027/28 recruitment rules on 27 May 2026 (Resolution No. 62/V/2026). The 2026/27 online application system opened 23 February 2026
- Registration deadline
- Not yet published2027/28 not yet published. For 2026/27 the online application system closed 29 April 2026 at 12:00 CEST
- Entrance examination
- Not yet published2027/28 exam date not yet published. The 2026/27 exam was a single online session on 23 May 2026 at 16:00 CEST, with the details sent only to confirmed registrants
- Ranking list published
- Not yet published2027/28 not yet published; the 2026/27 ranking list was announced on 1 June 2026, and admission follows directly from position on the 0–100 ranking list
- Enrolment deadline
- Not yet published2027/28 not yet published. In 2026/27 the first enrolment round ran 8 June to 21 July 2026, and waiting-list rounds (23 July to 19 August, 21 August to 11 September) opened only if places remained
How it's scored
- Result scale
- 0 to 100; JUMC states the ranking list is ordered on a final result expressed as a number on this scale
- Number of questions
- 100, officially published
- Correct answer
- Not yet publishedNot published. Exactly 100 questions and a stated 0–100 result scale is what one mark per question produces, so IvyTest assesses +1 per correct answer as likely, but JUMC has never stated a per-item mark, and the guide does not present the inference as a rule.
- Incorrect answer
- Not yet publishedNot published on any official page checked. IvyTest carries 0 as the neutral assumption: a paper that does penalise guessing still ranks candidates sensibly when scored as a straight percentage, whereas inventing a penalty would change what a candidate should do on every question they are unsure of.
- Unanswered question
- Not yet publishedNot published; assessed as 0 on the same reasoning as an incorrect answer
- Answer format
- Five options A–E, exactly one correct, including on true/false-style items, which are written as five statements of which exactly one is true
- Minimum eligible score
- Set by the Rector for each cycle, no later than the day the first ranking list is published (Senate Resolution 58/VI/2025, §9(4)), and the same in every round. Jagiellonian University's admission statistics give 57 (2023), 61 (2024) and 40 (2025) points of 100 for Medicine in English. Above it, admission is by rank order on the 0–100 result.
- Per-subject floors
- None: Poland has no equivalent of the Italian per-subject OFA floor, and JUMC publishes no per-area minimum of its own
- Per-area weighting
- Not yet publishedNot published; see the exam format section. This is the single largest gap in what JUMC discloses about its own paper.
- Tie-break order
- Not yet publishedNot published; JUMC states the ranking rule but no procedure for candidates who finish on the same result

The campus
Collegium Medicum's Medical Campus in Prokocim
Jagiellonian University Medical College (UJ CM) is bringing its teaching and research together on its Medical Campus in Prokocim, Kraków, planned there since 1959; the model shows its teaching and research buildings. Beside the two university hospitals stand the Medical Library and the Centre for Innovative Medical Education (CIEM) at Medyczna 7, the Faculty of Pharmacy at Medyczna 9, Research Building A, opened in October 2025, and Teaching Building B, still under construction, which will hold student laboratories, simulation rooms and lecture halls for about 2,500 students.
Medical Library and CIEM
Medyczna 7: the Medical Library and the Centre for Innovative Medical Education, with seven high-fidelity simulation rooms (a delivery room, an operating theatre, intensive care and emergency rooms), BLS and ALS labs, a surgical-skills lab and OSCE exam rooms.
Faculty of Pharmacy
The Faculty of Pharmacy's building, at Medyczna 9.
Research Building A
Opened on 21 October 2025: over 11,000 m² on six floors above ground and two below, with 24 research laboratories, a biobank and a PET/MRI imaging centre.
Teaching Building B (under construction)
Joined to Building A by a four-storey link, it will hold student laboratories, simulation and augmented-reality rooms, and lecture and seminar halls for about 2,500 students. About 95% of its shell was complete in August 2026.
Questions
Before you buy
Yes. Jagiellonian University Medical College delivers Medicine in English and runs its admission process in the same language.
At every Polish school in our catalogue, yes: each runs its own remotely proctored exam (Zoom, Microsoft Teams or a school platform), though a few Gdańsk sittings with recruitment partners were held in person in Norway in 2026. This guide includes the setup checklist and flags which format your target school uses.
No. There's no centralised Polish medical entrance exam. Each university writes, times and delivers its own, and question counts alone range from a 12-question oral exam to a 100-question written paper.
If you want to practise in Poland, or to rely on automatic recognition elsewhere in the EU or the UK's European registration route, yes. The LEK is Poland's mandatory final exam for practising in Poland, and the EU Directive's list of Polish medical qualifications pairs the diploma with the LEK certificate and the postgraduate internship certificate.
Yes, it's the 2027 edition, built from the latest admission rules Jagiellonian University Medical College has published. Where a 2027 date or detail isn't published yet, confirm it with the university before you rely on it.
Yes. UJ-format practice sessions are available inside the simulator and align with the guide section by section.
An online guide you read in your browser, on a laptop, tablet or phone. Access starts the moment you buy, with no waiting.
Yes: 1,150+ practice questions in the exam simulator, matched to the format, difficulty and topic distribution of the real Jagiellonian University Medicine Entrance Exam, with a full explanation for every answer.
