The University

The history of the university dates back to 1660. It has existed in its present form since 1959. Currently, more than 7,500 students are enrolled across five faculties with 1,250 staff members and lecturers. The Faculty of Medicine is more than 71 years old, making it the oldest faculty of the university, and it has been offering degrees taught in English for over 20 years.
The Faculty of Medicine is located in a modern high-rise building with the latest technology on all floors. The building lies in close proximity to the L. Pasteur University Hospital. A new wing for experimental medicine just opened in 2015. The new equipment includes, among other, a TWINSHIME simulator for the human microbial ecosystem, one of only five in the world. Kosice pays attention to practical training and begins early-on with the clinical training.
The university is also very popular with international students. More than 40 nations are represented on campus.

Requirements and Application

You can obtain a university place without the sole focus on your final high school grades. All you will need is a qualification allowing you to study at a university, such as a high school diploma. Admission with a subject-related entrance qualification is also possible. A successful result in the hard university’s admission test – a multiple-choice science test – is also needed. MediStart prepares you for the test in an exclusive preparatory course (also online possible). The course is offered exclusively to MediStart clients. In addition, the university requires proof of English proficiency, verified either by good school grades or by a completed TOEFL or IELTS test.
