Before you apply
Dates, scoring and admissions
Key dates
- Applications open
- Not yet publishedRecruitment for the English-taught programmes opens on 1 March 2027, under WUM Senate Resolution No. 42/2026
- Application deadline
- Not yet published2027/28 not yet published: WUM will announce the detailed dates by 15 February 2027. For 2026/27 the last day to register in ORS was 30 June 2026, and the last day to register for a competency-test session was 1 July 2026
- Application fee credited to ORS
- Not yet publishedCandidate-specific rather than a calendar date: WUM's session page requires the fee to be credited to your ORS account no later than 7 days before the session you choose, and the Admission Board starts qualifying candidates about 14 days before it. International transfers can take several days, so an early transfer buys you scheduling room
- Non-graded trial test
- Not yet publishedCandidate-specific: the exam platform emails you the trial-test link in the week before your session, and the trial test stays open until your competency-test date. It is not graded and exists to check your setup, not your knowledge.
- Competency test sitting
- Not yet published2027/28 not yet published. The 2026 online sessions ran on 28-29 March, 25-26 April, 23-24 May, 6-7 June, 20-21 June and 4-5 July 2026
- Results published
- Not yet publishedCandidate-specific: WUM says admission results are available about 14 working days after your session, and later when the Admission Board is busy
- Enrolment deadline
- Not yet published2027/28 not yet published: Senate Resolution No. 42/2026 ends the whole 2027/28 recruitment on 30 September 2027. In 2026/27 a candidate offered a place had seven days to confirm it and pay the €1,000 confirmation fee, then had to complete the Admission File by the Admission Board's deadline
How it's scored
- Correct Biology question
- +1 point (30 questions, 30 points)
- Correct Chemistry question
- +1 point (30 questions, 30 points)
- Correct Decision Making question
- +2 points (20 questions, 40 points)
- Unanswered question
- 0 points, the same as a wrong answer, so a blank is never the better option
- Maximum possible score
- 100 points
- Negative marking
- None on any section: WUM's competency-test page states that it does not deduct points for incorrect answers, and that a correct answer earns 1 or 2 points and an incorrect one 0
- Answer options per question
- Not yet publishedNot stated in any official WUM document checked; the rules summary says only 'multiple choice'. This matters for guessing arithmetic, so the expected values below are given at both four and five options.
- Minimum eligible score
- Not yet publishedNo pass mark on the test itself. Senate Resolution No. 42/2026 sets the 2027/28 ranking cut-off at no less than 66% of the maximum ranking points, which the Admissions Committee chair may lower if places stay unfilled; a zero in a qualifying subject excludes you.
- Per-subject floors
- None on the test. WUM sets no per-section minimum, and there is no Polish equivalent of the Italian OFA mechanism
- Reserve or replacement questions
- None described: all 80 questions are scored, and no extra time block for reserve items is mentioned anywhere
- How the ranking is built
- 20% of your school-grade points (Biology, Chemistry, and Physics or Mathematics) plus 80% of five times your test score, under Senate Resolution No. 42/2026

- Not a standard stage, though the 2027/28 recruitment rules reserve WUM's right to interview selected candidates

The campus
The Medical University of Warsaw's Banacha campus
The Banacha campus, between Banacha, Żwirki i Wigury, Księcia Trojdena and Pawińskiego streets in Warsaw, is the campus most people mean by the Medical University of Warsaw (WUM). The model shows three of its buildings: the Rectorate, home to the university's authorities and the deans' offices, and the two buildings connected to it, the Library and Information Centre and the Didactic Centre, where lectures, seminars and exams are held. The university hospitals, the Medical Simulation Centre and the sports centre on the same campus are not modelled.
Rectorate
Żwirki i Wigury 61: the seat of the rector and the deans, the deans' offices of the Faculties of Medicine, Medicine and Dentistry, Pharmacy and Health Sciences, and the Centre for Postgraduate Education. In use since 2000, it reopened in August 2024 after two years of modernization, with a new aluminium-and-glass façade in a brown shade matching the library's.
Library and Information Centre
Żwirki i Wigury 63: opened on 26 June 2012, four storeys and over 7,000 m², with multimedia lecture rooms, a 30-seat computer room for electronic exams, the Museum of the History of Medicine and, on the second floor, a 1,000 m² reading room with 230 seats.
Didactic Centre
Księcia Trojdena 2A: open since April 2006, where lectures, seminars and exams are held in its auditorium and lecture rooms. It also houses the Foreign Languages School, the Student Benefits Section and the Careers Office.
Questions
Before you buy
Yes. Medical University of Warsaw 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 (Lekarski Egzamin Końcowy) is Poland's mandatory final exam for practising in Poland: a 200-question test followed by a 13-month supervised internship conducted in Polish, arranged through a regional Medical Chamber. The EU Directive's list of Polish medical qualifications pairs the diploma with the LEK certificate and the internship certificate.
Yes, it's the 2027 edition, built from the latest admission rules Medical University of Warsaw has published. Where a 2027 date or detail isn't published yet, confirm it with the university before you rely on it.
Yes. Medical University of Warsaw-format practice sessions are available inside the simulator and align with the guide section by section.
