Nostrification rules
The medicine programme, the dentistry programme, and nursing and midwifery each handle nostrification separately.
Medicine programme
- Start with a preliminary check: send scans of your documents to nostryfikacja.lek@umed.lodz.pl.
- Documents are submitted by the end of February (exam in April) or by the end of September (exam in December).
Dentistry programme
Documents are accepted once a year, in March.
If you are in a difficult financial situation, you can ask to be exempted from the fee (rector's ordinance No. 56/2021). In August 2026 the university published draft new regulations for the medicine programme.
Exams and verification of knowledge
Medicine: a 150-question test in Polish on 7 subjects (internal medicine 38, paediatrics 26, surgery 22, gynaecology and obstetrics 22, emergency medicine 15, family medicine 15, psychiatry 12), 5 answer options, pass mark 60%.
