## Campus and city

Medical Studies in English is delivered at the School of Medicine in Split. The School's new-student information links international students with the Medical Studies in English office, counselling and student-support resources while the arrival guide explains local administrative steps and private-housing search routes.

Split is the programme's Croatian study location. The School directs foreign students to private accommodation rather than presenting School-provided housing; its published guide advises a full-stay rental contract because of the local tourist season. No verified standard living-cost figure is included in this package.

The official curriculum sets out 5,500 hours of direct teaching across six years. It moves from natural and basic medical sciences into clinical sciences, clinical skills and a graduate thesis. Clinical Propedeutics follows successful completion of Year 2 and introduces direct patient work; later clinical subjects and rotations develop supervised experience through the final year, which concludes with aggregate knowledge and skills examinations.


## Hostel, food and safety

The School's published new-student guide directs foreign students to private accommodation and provides housing-search resources. It does not offer a School-operated housing guarantee or a current standard room price for this programme, so accommodation costs and availability are not included in the programme fee.

No current School-operated meal plan or programme-specific food-cost schedule was verified. This package therefore does not present food costs as part of tuition or a fixed student budget.

No School-published campus-safety statistics were identified for this package. The arrival material focuses instead on legal stay, health cover, housing contracts and access to the School's support resources.

The School publishes information on counselling, library access, an international student association, a student support group and the Medical Studies in English office. Its arrival guide covers OIB registration, temporary stay, health cover, visa orientation and housing search, while personal immigration outcomes remain determined by the relevant authority.
