The Medical University of Gdańsk (commonly known as MUG or Gdański Uniwersytet Medyczny) is the largest public medical academic institution in northern Poland. Founded in 1945, this highly competitive institution holds a rare elite status, having been selected by the Polish Ministry of Higher Education as the only specialized medical university within Poland’s top 10 national “Research Universities” (Excellence Initiative).
Located in the historic, scenic coastal Baltic city of Gdańsk, MUG features a highly international campus, with foreigners making up over 16% of the student base.
Healthcare Facilities & Clinical Base
- Ultra-Modern Hospitals: Clinical coursework is held inside the University Clinical Centre. This massive hospital complex houses the Invasive Medicine Centre (IMC) and the Non-Invasive Medicine Centre (NIMCO), making it one of the largest and most digitally integrated hospital facilities in Europe.
- Global Accreditation: Fully compatible with the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), listed in WDOMS, and approved by international entities like the US Department of Education (NCFMEA) and the Medical Board of California.
