The current curriculum includes medical English courses, clinical-skills teaching, simulation of clinical skills and a final graduation examination and thesis, rather than a generic pre-medical foundation year. Rijeka is the programme location for the integrated medical degree. The official 2026/27 call requires the on-site hybrid entrance examination at the Faculty while also allowing simultaneous examination abroad; the academic year begins in October and admission is only to the winter semester. The curriculum progresses from biomedical sciences to clinical subjects. Clinical Propedeutics appears in the third year, while later compulsory work includes surgery, anaesthesiology and intensive care, gynaecology and obstetrics, family medicine, clinical assessment, simulation of clinical skills and emergency medical conditions. The final programme requirements include a graduation examination and thesis. ## Hostel, food and safety No current Medical Studies in English housing offer or official price was verified in the admission and programme sources reviewed. Accommodation is not presented as included in the EUR 12,000 annual tuition figure. No faculty-supported meal plan or food-cost schedule was verified for Medical Studies in English. Food and daily living remain separate budget items rather than stated programme benefits. No current faculty-specific safety statistic was found in the reviewed sources. The programme record therefore does not make a general Rijeka safety claim. The Faculty's English medicine call identifies its Office of International Relations and Medical Studies in English for detailed programme and enrolment information. The application path also uses the national Central Admission Office for record verification and recognition of foreign secondary qualifications. ## Frequently asked questions ### How long is Medical Studies in English at Rijeka?
