We just finished the application process for the 2018/2019 academic year, and you can already apply for next year´s recruitment (2019/2020). As usual, we would like to remind you that it is extremely important to make a decision about participating in the application process early enough. Thorough exam preparation requires a lot of time, which high school final year students should consider the most. Question database is quite vast, it is better to schedule your study time for at least a couple of months. Therefore… operation “Application Process Kosice” has officially started!

Available programmes

At Pavol Jozef Šafárik University you can study two medical programmes in English:

  • General medicine
  • Dental medicine

Both are 6-year long (12 semesters) full-time programmes. Every year a limited number of students are accepted. In the 2019/2020 academic year, it is 200 students for general medicine and 30 students for dentistry. Upon the completion of the study programme and the positive final exam result, a graduate will receive a MUDr. or MDDr. degree, Doctor of Medicine and Doctor of Dental Medicine respectively.
