Studying medicine in Bratislava
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.
The study programme at Comenius University Bratislava includes a closely timed curriculum with small weekly mid-term tests to keep students up to date and to support them. Due to the small groups of about 10 students per group, 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.
In the first two years of study, Slovak is a compulsory subject for all international students. However, all teaching in human medicine and dentistry at Comenius University Bratislava is conducted 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 communicate with 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 Comenius University Bratislava have the opportunity to broaden their horizons and possibly spend a semester abroad at another university.
