Further Information

Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia

Comenius University Bratislava speaks for itself with its medical studies in English, which are recognised throughout the EU. It enjoys a high international standing and is now one of the 184 best universities in the world (according to the Round World Teaching Ranking). The education in human medicine and dentistry at Comenius University Bratislava is on a par with studies in other European countries, such as Germany and Austria.

The medical degree programme lasts 6 years (12 semesters) and is completed with a professional doctorate. The language of instruction for human medicine and dentistry is English only.

  • The degree in human medicine concludes with the title MUDr. (medicinae universae doctor), which is equivalent to Dr. med. univ. in Austria.
  • The dentistry degree concludes with the title MDDr. (medicinae dentalis doctor)
  • The degree programme and the professional doctorate obtained are fully recognised in Germany, Austria and all other EU countries.
  • In accordance with EU Directive 2005/36/EC, it is possible to start specialist training in Germany or Austria directly after graduation (after obtaining the licence to practise medicine)

Studying medicine in Bratislava

To pass a semester in the degree programme, it is necessary to achieve at least 30 ECTS points (so-called credit points). Students earn these by successfully passing various examinations in different subjects with different ECTS point allocations.

The study programme at Comenius University Bratislava includes a closely timed curriculum with small weekly mid-term tests to keep students up to date and to support them. Due to the small groups of about 10 students per group, students experience a unique and very practical study with very good contact to the teaching professors and doctors. Only the lectures are held together for all students.

In the first two years of study, Slovak is a compulsory subject for all international students. However, all teaching in human medicine and dentistry at Comenius University Bratislava is conducted exclusively in English. However, it is important for students to find their way around in their new place of study in addition to their everyday studies and to be able to communicate with patients in the hospital later on. For this reason, Slovak is taught in the first two years.

Studying in English is a huge advantage, not only because you will have the opportunity to work as a doctor anywhere in the world in the future, but also because it will be much easier for you to follow current medical topics during your studies, as these are usually always published in English first.

Through partnerships with other international medical faculties, students of Comenius University Bratislava have the opportunity to broaden their horizons and possibly spend a semester abroad at another university.

The city of Bratislava at a glance

Bratislava: a city to discover, live and feel good in! The Slovakian capital Bratislava is located directly on the Austrian border and just 50 minutes from Vienna.

Things to know about Bratislava

The city of Bratislava

The Danube flows through the heart of the city, creating an idyllic and calming atmosphere at any time of day. Whether jogging, sitting on the banks or taking a walk, the Danube with its promenade offers Comenius University Bratislava students an opportunity to relax in the fresh air at any time of the year.
The breathtaking "Pressburg", the landmark of the city of Bratislava and Slovakia, rises on a hill in the middle of the old town. From the castle you can enjoy a great view over the city, surrounding outskirts and the Danube crossing it with the river promenade.

With around 20,000 students, Bratislava has everything a student city should have: inexpensive pubs, restaurants, bars, often even with student discounts, offer an opportunity to spend free time alongside everyday university life. Compared to Austria and Germany, the cost of living is somewhat cheaper and experience shows that around 32,000-40,000₹/month excluding rent is enough for our students to live on.

As already mentioned, Bratislava is located right on the Austrian border, only 5 minutes away by car. Buses and trains running several times a day shuttle cheaply between the Slovak capital and the Austrian capital Vienna with a journey time of just under an hour - a bus ticket to Vienna, for example, costs around €7.
