They say this is the best medical university in Poland

http://www.medschool.cm-uj.krakow.pl/

I am not objective because I live in Krakow (city where the school is located) and I taught
Polish to a few foreigners who studied there. For sure university in Krakow is one of the oldest in Europe. But there are othe medical school for foreigners.

Here you can find the list:
http://www.poland.pl/directory/index,Medical_schools,cid,682.htm

If Polisch people are nice? It depends o a person. I am Polish. Sometimes I am nice sometime rude (-:

If we are racists? It depends. But Krakow is quite international, many people from India work here in IT.
You have to ask other foreigners who live in Poland, perhaps they will help you better.

There is some racism in Poland. Mostly because people are not used to other nationalities, especially non-European people. Generally people experience more racism in small cities than big cities. But we should remember that there are racists in all countries of the world.

Everyone has different opinions about which universities are the best. But I think the differences in quality are not so big.
Universities in cities with a more international atmosphere are Warsaw, Wroclaw, Poznan and Krakow.

There's a School of Medicine in Olsztyn, Poland. I bet studying there's an attractive choice, due to modern equipent available for students, cooperation with the university hospital, possibilities to take part in experiments (e.g. there's a newly built stem cell laboratory), professional tutors. Finally the beautiful University campus offers a good environment for studying and also a leisure.

is polish degree accepted worldwide?

You will need to check to see which country you want to work in once qualified. many non Poles study medicine in English in Polish medical universities, the going rate is about 9000 euros per year in course fees.

there is a certain amount of jealousy from Polish students studying medicine but this usually revolves around foreign students being given the freshest corpses during pathology

because you are Indian, you may still have to take PLAB before practicing medicine in the UK. again, you are better off checking this before starting the course

good luck

Merged thread:
Studying Medicine in Poland

I am applying to four schools in Poland to study medicine, they are in Olsztyn, Bialystok, Szczecin and Warsaw. I was wondering if anyone has any information about the quality of these Universities, and if you or someone you know has attended the school and in that case what did they/you think of it.
Also, as I am of mixed race (half african half european) will i be met by any racism at any of these locations, or is it mostly just benevolent curiosity? Or are these cities maybe quite used to people that are not white, so to speak.

Thanks for all your help and I am really excited about coming to Poland, seems like a really nice place!

Olsztyn also has great experience of foreign students. The medical school is about to start teaching a large number of saudi Arabians and has an English language teaching section (to study medicine in English)
