Medical University of Białystok offers a challenging yet supportive environment where students grow both academically and personally. The practical training, dedicated professors, and diverse student community make the experience enriching. It’s not always easy, but the journey is rewarding for those who stay committed and make the most of it.

Doing PhD in MUB is truly inspirational. Working with a great research team in a fully equipped laboratory, improving yourself and your research skills by learning modern methods, visiting and, collaborating with scientist from different laboratories in different countries are only a few of its benefits. Moreover, Białystok is a fascinating place to live with its amazing nature.

The last three years at UMB have been both extremely exciting and challenging. Every stage, from rigorous coursework to extended lab sessions to practical clinical encounters, has pushed me to grow both intellectually and personally. The excitement of discovering how to save lives and make a real impact has kept me motivated throughout this demanding journey. Beyond academics, studying in Bialystok has been an incredible experience—it's a student-friendly and safe city, offering a welcoming atmosphere, vibrant culture, and a perfect environment to focus on both personal and professional growth.

I think the two most important features for your educational progress are the university's quality and type of the people around you. Medical University of Bialystok and the people in there (professors, tutors, staff, etc.) are really great and remarkable. The city of Bialystok itself is also a wonderful and perfect place to live for the foreign students

At the time, my familiarity with the city was limited to what I had read, but now, after six enriching years, I can confidently say that neither the country nor the city and, most significantly, the university has disappointed me.

The decisive factor for me was the unparalleled quality of education offered at UMB University Hospital, which embraces every facet of contemporary healthcare and features some of the most advanced medical equipment available today.

While I arrived with certain expectations and leave behind more than I could have imagined, I carry forward far greater treasures than I ever anticipated.

The reason I love Podlasie Province, because here I experienced the real and historical Hungarian-Polish friendship.
