Testimonials
& NEWS

For many international students, entrance exams are one of the biggest concerns when applying to study medicine, dentistry, or veterinary medicine abroad. The uncertainty, the level of difficulty, and the question “will I be able to pass?” often feel overwhelming. The reality, however, is very different - entrance exams in Poland are structured, predictable, and most importantly, manageable with the right preparation.


What do entrance exams in Poland look like?

Most medical universities in Poland require applicants to pass an entrance exam in Biology and Chemistry. These exams are typically based on multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and focus on key topics from secondary school education. Depending on the university, the process may also include an interview, but the core assessment is almost always academic and knowledge-based. The level is demanding, but it is aligned with what students are expected to know after finishing high school - not beyond it.


How to prepare effectively?

Preparation for entrance exams is not about memorising everything. It’s about studying strategically. Successful candidates usually:

  • focus on high-yield topics in Biology and Chemistry
  • practice with exam-style questions
  • understand how questions are structured
  • follow a consistent and realistic study plan

Knowing how to study is just as important as what to study. That’s why many students support their preparation with the Medical Poland Pre-Course, which helps them stay organised, focused, and aligned with actual exam requirements.


How Medical Poland supports students

At Medical Poland, we guide students through the entire application process - including entrance exam preparation. Our Pre-Course is designed specifically for international applicants who want a clear, structured, and effective way to prepare. It offers:

  • a step-by-step study plan tailored to entrance exams
  • carefully selected materials focused on Biology (Anatomy), Chemistry and Physics 
  • live, interactive classes with experienced tutors
  • practical insight into exam structure and expectations

More than just content, the Pre-Course provides direction, consistency, and confidence - helping students approach their exams feeling prepared rather than overwhelmed.

Beyond helping students succeed in entrance exams, the Pre-Course is also a strong starting point for the first year of studies. Making the transition into university smoother and helping students feel more confident from the very beginning.
