About the University

The university was established in 1950 and adopted its current name after becoming the Medical University of Bialystok in 2008. Its specialist profile is focused on medicine, health sciences and doctoral education in an urban setting in northeastern Poland.

In current institutional rankings, Times Higher Education places MUB in the 1201-1500 band for 2026, while CWUR lists it at #1724 globally for 2025. Perspektywy places the university at joint #10 among Polish academic universities in its 2026 ranking.

Educational Model and Campus Facilities

Medicine in English is a full-time, six-year medical degree. Teaching is campus-based, while the mandatory three-week online pre-course introduces first-year students to terminology and study preparation before the academic year.

The listing also includes the Doctoral School – International Path. Admission criteria vary by program and can include prior academic results, subject prerequisites, English proficiency at B2 level and additional selection stages, so applicants should follow the requirements on the specific program page.

Accommodation and Dormitory Facilities

The university provides accommodation for students of the Faculty of Medicine with the Division of Dentistry and Medical Education in English in Dormitory No. 2. The number of places is limited, so an application does not guarantee a room.

For 2026/27, eligible applicants must follow the university’s published accommodation procedure and deadlines. The university notes that overflow accommodation may be arranged with Bialystok University of Technology, subject to availability and current arrangements.

Career Opportunities and Graduate Success

Medical studies build clinical and scientific foundations for later professional training, licensing and specialization. Career outcomes depend on the country where a graduate plans to practise, and recognition or licensing requirements should be checked with the relevant authority.

The Doctoral School route is oriented toward research development and academic work. Students can use the university’s medical and research environment to develop project, publication and interdisciplinary skills, but individual career results are not guaranteed.

Student Life in Białystok

Białystok offers an urban student environment in northeastern Poland, with university life centred around a specialist medical campus. International students can combine academic activities with student organisations and the cultural life of the city.

Accommodation planning should begin early because university rooms are limited. Students should also budget for tuition, housing, transport and daily costs separately, and use the latest university guidance when planning arrival and enrolment.
