Comenius University Bratislava, Faculty of Medicine

SCIO runs the faculty's online exam. The faculty's pages do not list the equipment you need. SCIO's rules for this faculty are on its own page, so check them there before you register.

The faculty's guides give a postal address, not an email. Post a letter to the Department for Study in English Language, Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University, Spitalska 24, 813 72 Bratislava, Slovakia. For trouble with the online application, the faculty's manual gives a phone number: +421 2 9010 4444. Questions to copy:

• "When does registration for the March 2027 exam open and close?"
• "By when must my recognition statement and translated diploma arrive for the March date?"
• "How will I see my exam result?"
• "I will send a recognition statement. Do I also need nostrification?"
• "Does the faculty offer student housing?"

• To apply: Apply online in the university's e-application (switch it to English). Attach a scan of your ID or passport, proof that you paid the EUR 99 fee, and your secondary school diploma. Medical fitness, the Hepatitis B vaccination and nostrification can follow after admission.
• Recognition: Finished school in the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein, the UK, Ukraine, China or Russia? Print a recognition statement from the Slovak ministry's online navigator. It is valid only with a notarised copy of your diploma, translated into Slovak by a certified translator. Send both to the Study Department, Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University, Spitalska 24, 813 72 Bratislava. From any other country, a Regional School Administration Office decides. If you need nostrification, start it after admission: you cannot enrol without it (fee EUR 7 or EUR 40). The faculty's guides do not say whether the statement replaces nostrification.

The faculty gives no price or time for the translation, so book a translator early. You apply yourself: we are not an agent, and we do not apply for you.

Ask the faculty before you apply, not after admission: its guides leave one question open.

• Before you apply: print a recognition statement from the Slovak ministry's website. It shows that your school-leaving certificate counts in Slovakia. Ask the faculty by when it must arrive.
• With it: a notarised copy of your Abitur or Matura (a notary at home is fine), translated into Slovak by a certified translator from the official Slovak registry.
• After admission: maybe nostrification (recognition by a Slovak regional school office). The faculty's guides do not say if you need it as well. If you do, you cannot enrol without it, and the faculty calls it a long process. See its fee.

Post a letter to: Department for Study in English Language, Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University, Spitalska 24, 813 72 Bratislava, Slovakia. Question to copy: "I finished school in Germany (or Austria). I will send a recognition statement. Do I also need nostrification before I can enrol?"

Moving to Germany or Austria later? We cannot advise on transfers. Our Slovakia guide says which two offices decide, with a question to copy in German.

Kurz auf Deutsch: Drucken Sie vor der Bewerbung das „recognition statement“ auf der Website des slowakischen Ministeriums aus. Dazu kommt eine notariell beglaubigte Kopie Ihres Abitur- oder Maturazeugnisses, von einem zertifizierten Übersetzer aus dem offiziellen slowakischen Register ins Slowakische übersetzt. Nach der Zulassung brauchen Sie vielleicht auch die Nostrifizierung. Die Leitfäden der Fakultät sagen das nicht, fragen Sie also vor der Bewerbung nach.
