Medicine at the Pomeranian Medical University in Szczecin (PUM) is a six-year (12-semester) MD programme of the Faculty of Medicine, taught entirely in English. It is a good fit if you are thinking about a medical career that is not limited to one country.

Programme: seven domains over five years

Years 1–3 follow a semester system and years 4–5 a block system. Along the way you master seven domains, grouped here:

• morphological sciences, the scientific basis of medicine and preclinical sciences
• behavioural sciences with elements of professionalism
• clinical sciences and clinical sciences with treatment
• the legal and organisational basis of medicine

Specialisation: three paths through the practical year

Placements: clinical training and a 30-week practical year

The curriculum combines a solid theoretical grounding with intensive clinical training in PUM’s clinical hospitals. The sixth year (semesters 11 and 12) is 30 weeks of practical training in internal medicine, paediatrics, surgery, gynecology and obstetrics, psychiatry, emergency medicine and family medicine. Six of those weeks go to a specialty or discipline you choose yourself.

Languages: medicine in English

Studying the whole programme in English means:

• working with ease in an international medical environment
• building the specialist medical vocabulary used at work and in scientific publications
• learning in a multicultural community of students from different countries

Exchanges: Erasmus+ for PUM students

Erasmus+ adds further options abroad: from the third year you can apply to study at a partner university, and traineeships in foreign institutions are open both during studies and after graduation.

Qualifications: the professional title of lekarz (MD)

After graduation: an international medical career

The programme follows European standards of medical education, and the diploma is recognised in many countries. Studying in English makes it easier to join international internships and research and to continue your career abroad.
