Which Polish universities fit your marks and budget?
A counsellor calls you back within one working day. Free, no obligation.
Graduates take the LEK and complete the internship, either the standard 13-month one through the regional medical chamber or PUM's English one. Compare this with the NMC rules before you apply. PUM does not appear in the NBEMS FMGE reports we checked.
Our view
Good value, a short and predictable test, and a rare English internship route. Szczecin is cheaper than the big cities and close to Berlin.
