New exam date: 5 September 2026UPJŠ · Košice 🇸🇰Who this is for
No offer for 2026? September is still open
Every year we meet students who were told to wait until next year. You do not have to. If any of these sound like you, the 5 September exam is your way in.
Clearing didn't work out
If medicine Clearing 2026 gave you nothing, this is a real alternative in Europe. Same career, same year, taught in English.
You hold 3 A-levels
UPJŠ asks for a high school diploma, for UK students that means at least 3 A-levels, in any subjects. Admission is decided by one written exam.
You don't want a gap year
Pass the exam on 5 September and you start this autumn. No year of waiting, no reapplying through UCAS.

The exam is in English and open to international students. We help students from the UK, Norway, Ireland and far beyond.

How the UPJŠ entrance exam works
One written exam decides your admission. No interview, no physics, no maths, and your school grades are not the deciding factor.
We prepare you for it, free
Question banks, flashcards and a mock exam, built from the official UPJŠ study material. Our students walk in knowing what the paper looks like.
The university
Study medicine in Europe, taught in English
UPJŠ is not a backup plan. It is a respected EU medical faculty older than most of its Western competitors.
EU-recognised degree
Valid across the EU and EEA. Graduates register with the GMC or GDC in the UK, and UPJŠ is WDOMS-listed, so you can sit the USMLE for the US.
Teaching since 1948
The Faculty of Medicine has taught since 1948 and has run full English programmes since 1992.
Honest tuition
Medicine €13,000 and dentistry €13,500 per year, fixed for the whole degree. Living in Košice runs €500 to €800 a month.
Real clinical training

Yes. UPJŠ in Košice has confirmed an entrance exam on 5 September 2026, and students who pass start the same autumn. Apply through Medently and we arrange your exam registration and everything around it, free.
Who can register for the UPJŠ exam on 5 September?
Anyone finishing or holding a high school diploma. UK students need at least 3 A-levels, in any subjects. There is no grade average requirement and no interview. Admission is decided by the written exam in biology and chemistry.
What is on the UPJŠ entrance exam?
Biology and chemistry at A-level or IB standard, in English, 2 hours 30 minutes, held in person in Košice. Medicine needs roughly 570 of 800 points and dentistry 620 of 800. Medently gives you free preparation material built from the official question pool.
Is this a good alternative to UK medicine Clearing 2026?
For many students, yes. If Clearing gave you no offer, UPJŠ lets you start medicine or dentistry in English this same year, with an EU degree recognised by the GMC and GDC. You avoid a gap year and reapplication entirely.
What does Medently's help cost?
