New exam dates: five sittings in 2027UPJŠ · Košice 🇸🇰Who this is for
No offer this year? The 2027 sittings are open
Every year we meet students who were told there is no way in. There is. If any of these sound like you, one of the 2027 sittings is your way in.
Clearing didn't work out
If medicine Clearing gave you nothing, this is a real alternative in Europe. Same career, taught in English, decided by one written exam.
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 to lose years
Sit the exam as early as March 2027 and you start the same autumn. No years of waiting, no reapplying through UCAS again and again.
You're applying from anywhere
The exam is in English and open to international students. We help students from the UK, Norway, Ireland and far beyond.

FREEThe exam
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
Hands-on training at the Košice teaching hospital from the early years, in one of Europe's largest international student communities.

Who can register for the UPJŠ entrance exam?
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.
