About Medical University of Gdansk
The Medical University of Gdańsk (GUMed) is Poland's leading medical school on the Baltic coast, offering a six-year English Division programme in the stunning Tri-City metropolitan area (Gdańsk, Sopot, Gdynia). Clinical training takes place at the University Clinical Centre (UCK) — a 1,100-bed academic hospital that is the primary referral centre for Pomerania. GUMed has particular research strengths in neurosurgery, oncology, cardiology, and transplantation medicine — the Gdańsk transplant team is nationally renowned.
The university's modern campus overlooks Gdańsk's historic harbour, and students benefit from one of Europe's most beautiful coastal urban environments. Gdańsk is a city of extraordinary history (birthplace of Solidarity and site of WWII's first shots), stunning Hanseatic architecture, excellent beaches (Sopot pier), and vibrant culture — all at Polish price levels. For UK students, GUMed offers English-taught medical education at approximately £11,000/year in a coastal setting unique among Polish medical schools, with EU-recognised qualifications, GMC registration pathway, and an exceptional quality of life combining historic charm with seaside living.
