Do I sit an exam at Silesia?
Most applicants sit no exam here. If your school certificate is from Poland, the EU, an OECD country, EFTA or the EEA, Switzerland, or a country with a mutual-recognition agreement, your leaving-exam grades become points. Medicine counts biology plus one of chemistry, physics or maths, both at extended (higher) level. A-levels: A* = 100, A = 90, B = 80, C = 60, D = 45, E = 20 points. IB: 7 = 100, 6 = 90, 5 = 80, 4 = 70, 3 = 45, 2 = 30, the same for SL and HL. Polish matura: 1% = 1 point. European Baccalaureate: your result times 10. AS-levels have their own basic-level table, and the rules do not say if they count for medicine. Countries not in the tables are converted one by one. You sit the university's exam only if grades in the required subjects are missing, or if your certificate was issued outside the EU, the OECD, EFTA and Switzerland. It covers the same subjects, is marked 0 to 100 per subject, and may be online. US citizens and residents must also send an MCAT score. There are two rounds for 2026/27: 1 April to 30 September 2026 for the October start, and 12 October 2026 to 10 January 2027 for a start in the second semester.
What score do I need?
Medicine needs at least 100 points from the required subjects, with at least 40 in biology. The Rector may lower this minimum if places are left. Places go by ranking, from the total of your points. The health minister sets the number of places for English medicine. So the minimum may not be enough: a higher score gives you a better place in the ranking.
Which documents do I need?
You need a school certificate that lets you enter university in the country that issued it, and English at level B2 or higher. Register and send your documents at apply.sum.edu.pl, and pay the application fee. The university does not waive the fee. The documents: the personal questionnaire, your leaving certificate (original or notarised), an apostille or legalisation if needed, a recognition statement if needed, your English document, two colour photos signed on the back, and proof of payment. Show your ID. Documents in other languages need a sworn translation into Polish or English. If you qualify, send the originals in person or by post by the deadline, or you lose your place. You also need a medical certificate. The rules set 30 September 2026 for this, so check the date for your round. The fee is refunded only in a few cases, on written request.
Which English certificates count? I am a UK citizen, or my grades are Norwegian.
You need English at level B2 or higher. Examples from the official list: IELTS 5.5, TOEFL iBT 72, PTE Academic 59, Cambridge FCE, CAE or CPE. An IB or EB diploma in English also counts, and so does a degree taught in English. Citizens of the EU, EFTA, Switzerland and the UK with a recognised school certificate have more options. For example: a certificate from a school taught in English, or a Scandinavian certificate obtained in English (Norway 4 or higher, Sweden VG or C, Denmark 7 or higher).
What does it cost?
The fee to apply and the tuition are not in the facts we hold for Silesia. Ask the university before you apply. Its application page is linked in the school's own pages.
Do I need PolandMedPrep practice for Silesia?
No. If your grades count, there is no exam to practise. We sell nothing for Silesia. The free pack has the grade tables, with boxes to work out your points.
Where do these facts come from?
From the Medical University of Silesia's own pages and documents. The link under each fact in the facts on this page shows where, and the date we last checked it. We are independent of the university. If our page and theirs differ, theirs is right.
