Medical Studies are a six-year-long Master’s degree with a general academic profile.
A student of the Medical programme will possess knowledge in the field of prevention and treatment, and will know and understand in depth the development, structure, and functions of the human body in both normal and pathological conditions, the symptoms and course of diseases, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures appropriate for specific disease states, and will also know methods of conducting scientific research as well as understand the social and legal conditions of practising the medical profession.
In terms of skills, the graduate will be able to analyse and evaluate medical problems, determine priorities in medical management, assess life-threatening conditions requiring immediate medical intervention, plan diagnostic procedures and interpret their results, as well as implement appropriate and safe therapeutic procedures and predict their consequences.
The graduate will be able to work in therapeutic teams, including in multicultural and multinational environments.
The graduate will be prepared to communicate with the patient and the patient’s family in an atmosphere of trust, taking into account the patient’s needs.
In terms of social competences, the graduate will be ready to follow the principles of medical ethics, critically evaluate the results of scientific research, recognise the role of knowledge in the work of a physician while critically assessing their own knowledge and skills, demonstrate readiness to seek expert opinions in difficult cases, establish and maintain deep and respectful contact with patients, and show understanding of cultural differences.
The programme includes education in the fields of:
- Morphological sciences (e.g., anatomy, histology, embryology)
- Scientific foundations of medicine (e.g., biophysics, molecular biology, biochemistry with elements of chemistry, physiology, elements of pathophysiology)
- Pre-clinical sciences (e.g., genetics, microbiology, immunology, pharmacology with toxicology)
- Behavioural and social sciences (e.g., sociology of medicine, medical psychology, history of medicine, English language)
- Non-surgical clinical sciences (e.g., paediatrics, internal medicine, psychiatry, dermatology, oncology, infectious diseases, rehabilitation)
- Surgical sciences (e.g., general surgery, anaesthesiology)
- Legal and organisational aspects of medicine (e.g., hygiene, epidemiology, public health, medical law, forensic medicine)
The study programme includes compulsory and elective classes that enable students to acquire not only specialised theoretical knowledge but also practical skills and social competences, including proper communication with patients and the ability to work in various therapeutic and research teams.
In the sixth year of studies, practical clinical teaching takes place in hospital wards in the fields of internal medicine, paediatrics, surgery, gynaecology and obstetrics, psychiatry, emergency medicine, family medicine, and the specialty chosen by the student.
Students combine passion with knowledge, learning with practice, and an individual approach to the patient using modern technologies in medicine.
