Is this university right for you?
Not recommended if
Budget is the primary concern; you want barrier-free admission with no entrance exam or language test; you prefer a large international student community
Overall assessment
(A research-powerhouse public EU medical university — top academic pedigree but high cost and competitive entry make it best for academically strong students with EU career goals)
Considerations
- High tuition (€66k–€90k total)
- requires IELTS/TOEFL + entrance exam — one of the most demanding admissions in this cohort
- Polish needed for clinical patient interaction
- fewer international students (700–850) than major Georgian universities
How it compares
vs. Białystok (#6)
Łódź edges ahead on academic quality (Shanghai ranked, #1 national exam) and city lifestyle; broadly similar cost and admission profile — both strong EU public options
