To pass a semester in the degree programme, it is necessary to achieve at least 30 ECTS points (so-called credit points). Students earn these by successfully passing various examinations in different subjects with different ECTS point allocations.

Studying at the medical university in Kaschau involves a closely timed curriculum with small weekly tests to keep students up to date and to encourage them. Due to the small groups of about 10 students per group, the students experience a unique and very practical study with very good contact to the teaching professors and doctors. Only the lectures are held together for all students.

A frequent concern of our future students is learning the Slovak language. All teaching and study in human medicine and dentistry at the medical university in Kaschau is exclusively in English. However, it is important for students to find their way around in their new place of study in addition to their everyday studies, and to be able to talk to patients in the hospital later on. For this reason, Slovak is taught in the first two years.

Studying in English is a huge advantage, not only because you will have the opportunity to work as a doctor anywhere in the world in the future, but also because it will be much easier for you to follow current medical topics during your studies, as these are usually always published in English first.

Through partnerships with other international medical faculties, students of the Medical University in Kashov have the opportunity to broaden their horizons and, if necessary, to spend a semester abroad at another university.
