Poznan University of Medical Sciences - PUMS Speciality : Medicine And Surgery
programme: Medicine and Surgery

I’m currently in my third year at Poznań University of Medical Sciences, and the experience has been intense but incredibly rewarding. The workload is heavy, but by now we’re getting real hospital exposure, which makes all the studying feel worthwhile. Professors push us to think like doctors, not just memorize, and that’s been a huge part of my growth.
The international community here is amazing—I’ve met classmates from all over the world—and the city itself is affordable, vibrant, and very student-friendly. Not everything is perfect (administration can be slow and exams are tough), but I’ve come a long way since first year and feel more confident every day.

PUMS is a well regarded medical school, one of the best in Poland and is recognized by the world federation for medical education. The university also provides access to about 7 different hospitals in Poznan ad that is excellent for hands on training. On the downside, workload is intense, and the administrative process is slow and confusing most of the times, and extracurricular activities are also somewhat limited to larger Universities. Overall, I would recommend PUMS for students that are looking for solid medical education in Europe.
