Studying at the Medical University of Białystok has been an exceptional experience. The university offers high-quality education and provides top-notch clinical practice. I chose to study at the Medical University of Białystok because of its excellent learning environment and modern facilities, which thoroughly prepare students for their future careers. Białystok is a charming city with a beautiful city center, numerous parks, and a welcoming atmosphere. I am very happy with my decision to pursue my medical education at MUB.

Luis Felipe Padilla Martinez

Center for Bioinformatics and Data Analysis

Second year PhD student enrolled in the “ImPRESS HORIZON 2020cofund doctoral program”. I have been pleasantly surprised by Bialystok, it has nothing but good things to offer: the architecture on Rynku Kościuszki, the nature, the people, the food and the culture. I have had only good experiences so far, and I am happy to have been accepted as part of this project. My colleagues from the department have been really friendly, I’m lucky to be surrounded by skillful scientists. I’m excited to see what comes next on my PhD project and the impact that it will have on the medical environment.

Kai Siemaszko

English Division student, Canada

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.

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 reason I love Podlasie Province, because here I experienced the real and historical Hungarian-Polish friendship. As a biologist, I really appreciate the European bison reservation, the only place, where they could be found in nature. At MUB the future students may choose from numerous grant opportunities and scholarships to support their projects and life.

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 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.
