Jagiellonian University - 2027/28 admissions must be open by this dateDetails
From annex 1 to Senate resolution 62/V/2026, in Polish: "Rekrutacja rozpoczyna się nie później niż 30 czerwca 2027 roku i kończy się nie później niż 1 października 2027 roku." A latest-possible opening rather than the opening: in 2026 the School of Medicine in English opened in February and the main rounds on 1 June.

Some Polish deadlines fall after this — Poznan Medical closes on 20 July. Where one closes earlier, ask the university how it takes IB results that arrive later.

Jagiellonian University - last day to hand in documents promised at enrolmentHard deadlineDetails
A genuine 2027 date with a stated penalty, from annex 1 to Senate resolution 62/V/2026: a candidate who undertook at enrolment to supply a missing document has until 24 September 2027, with the date of arrival at the faculty counting rather than the date of posting, and failure produces an administrative decision that blocks starting the course. This matters to an IB candidate whose apostilled diploma may be slow to arrive.

The closing bound in annex 1 to Senate resolution 62/V/2026. The Rector may allow a further round after 1 October 2027, but only on showing that it will not disturb teaching and that those admitted can still attend the full programme.

What it is
The first part covers pre-clinical basic sciences, including a medical Polish course so you can talk with patients, and the second part is clinical, so that by the end of year six you have met all clinical specialties. Teaching combines lectures, laboratory classes, clinical training and placements in health care institutions, and problem-based learning from the second year, with visiting professors from the USA, Canada and Germany. Graduates work in health care, education and research, mostly in Norway, Canada, the UK and the US, and can continue in the Doctoral School in Medical and Health Sciences.
