The School of Medicine in English educates nearly 700 students from roughly twenty countries across five continents, most commonly from Norway, the United States and Canada. Clinical and residential facilities are concentrated in the Prokocim district, about a 20-minute tram ride from the historic city-centre administrative base, anchored by the University Hospital, which opened in 2019.
The university's own dormitory complex sits in the Prokocim district near the University Hospital. For the 2026-27 academic year, monthly rates run from 805 PLN for a shared standard double room to 1,680 PLN for a single room with sole occupancy, all with en-suite bathrooms, shared kitchens, laundry facilities, WiFi, monitored parking and 24-hour staffed security.
No specific on-campus meal plan or dining-cost figure is published. The university's own estimate for books and study supplies runs to roughly EUR 6,000 per year, which should be budgeted alongside tuition, accommodation and daily living costs.
The Prokocim dormitory complex has CCTV monitoring, 24-hour staffed security and photo-ID check-in. The Student Support and Adaptation Center (SOWA) runs a 24-hour hotline with English-language service for students in crisis.
