The POLON register links the kierunek lekarski programme to two faculties (Katowice and Zabrze) and a separate course at the Bielsko-Biała branch; the admission limit is set for the university as a whole, including the branch.

The Medical University of Silesia in Katowice, established in 1948, runs the medicine programme (kierunek lekarski) as a 12-semester, 360-ECTS uniform master's programme. Poland's POLON register lists it in Polish and also in English. The university publishes study fees for each academic year, including 2026/2027, as Word documents, so no amounts are recorded here.

Medical programs

Only primary medical qualifications — the degree that leads to the physician pathway — are listed in the directory. The exact official wording is shown.

Teaching languages

Classroom, clinical and patient-interaction languages can differ. We record a language only when an official source states it.
