Is this university right for you?

Not recommended if

Budget is the primary concern (Georgia is 3–4× cheaper); you want barrier-free, non-competitive admission; you are not prepared for Polish clinical environment language challenges

Overall assessment

(A high-quality public EU medical university — excellent for career prospects and recognition, but significantly more expensive and more selective than Georgian peers)

Considerations

  • Tuition is high (€62k–€90k total) compared to Georgian alternatives
  • competitive ranking-based admission with interview
  • Polish language needed for patient interaction in clinical years
  • smaller, quieter city
