Before you apply
Dates, scoring and admissions
Key dates
- Applications open
- Not yet publishedNo fixed annual opening date: UMCH admits on a rolling basis rather than through one published application window
- Registration deadline
- Not yet publishedEnd of July: UMCH's FAQ says the application period for the coming academic year 'always runs until the end of July' (one answer on its application page says the end of August). Places are awarded on a rolling basis, so apply early
- Written evaluation
- Not yet publishedOn 12 October 2026 UMCH listed admission dates of 14 October, 21 October and 4 November 2026, online or on site, and books individual dates on request. UMCH names no intake for these dates: a successful candidate is offered a place for the next winter semester, within capacity
- Selection interview
- Not yet publishedHeld before the written evaluation: the evaluation follows the interview at the same admission appointment, as UMCH describes it
- Result issued
- Not yet publishedNo calendar date applies, because sittings are individually booked. UMCH states the result is issued within 48 hours of the assessment day
- Enrolment deadline
- Not yet publishedNo separate enrolment deadline is published: UMCH's tuition page says the first year's tuition and the one-time enrolment fee are due upon signing the study contract
How it's scored
- Correct answer
- Not yet publishedNot published. IvyTest's working estimate is one mark per correct answer, the commonest and the neutral assumption
- Incorrect answer
- Not yet publishedNot published. UMCH neither confirms nor rules out negative marking, so a penalty cannot be assumed away
- Unanswered question

- Selection interview weighting
- 40% of the overall admission assessment
- Section reporting
- Scored separately: candidates who complete the procedure receive a certificate showing results for the individual exam sections
- Minimum eligible score
- Not yet publishedNot published, and UMCH advertises no numerus clausus. The '50% of total points' figure that circulates traces to an independent advisory site, not to any UMCH document
