ISRAEL

Applicants who completed secondary education in Israel are required to submit the Matriculation certificate.

Final grades from secondary school diplomas obtained in Israel are not converted into recruitment points, therefore all applicants must take an entrance examination as follows:

  • Medicine or Dentistry – entrance exam in Biology and one additional subject of their choice: Chemistry or Physics.
  • other study programs – entrance exam requirements depend on the specific program regulations.

The entrance exam is conducted online as an oral examination via Microsoft Teams. More information is available on our website: Entrance exam preparation

The certificate does not require recognition from Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA).
