About the General Medicine Programme

The General Medicine programme at the Faculty of Medicine, Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice (UPJŠ), Slovakia, is a six-year, long-cycle degree leading to the Doctor of General Medicine (MUDr.) qualification. The programme is taught in English and has a duration of 12 semesters. According to the supplied information, the tuition fee for new students in the 2026/2027 academic year is €13,000 per year, and approximately 200 places are available annually.

Programme Structure and Clinical Training

The additional programme description explains a curriculum that begins with three years of theoretical preparation, followed by clinical teaching and rotations through hospital departments. The sixth year is dedicated to rotations in Internal Medicine, Surgery, Paediatrics, and Obstetrics and Gynaecology in preparation for final state examinations. However, this description refers to the Jessenius Faculty of Medicine in Martin at Comenius University Bratislava, not UPJŠ in Košice. Its curriculum, recognition, and accreditation details therefore cannot be attributed to the UPJŠ programme based on the supplied text.

Conflict in source: The main programme details identify Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice and list tuition at €13,000 per year for new students in 2026/2027. The additional description identifies Comenius University Bratislava’s Jessenius Faculty of Medicine and lists tuition at €11,500 per academic year. These are different institutions, so the additional description’s details have been excluded from the UPJŠ programme information.
