Applying to study medicine in Slovakia: understanding the fees

Students applying to Pavol Jozef Šafárik University (UPJŠ) in Košice, Slovakia have asked us about agency fees quoted for application and arrival support. Some reported charges of £1,500–£2,200. It is worth comparing what is included before paying for any service.

Applying through Medical Doorway

Medical Doorway is an authorised representative of UPJŠ and is funded by the university. We do not charge agency fees for our application support or exam preparation.

For the UK entrance exam on 23 August 2025, the advertised application and examination fee was £159. Applicants could sit the exam in the UK without travelling to Košice. This is a historical fee and exam date; please check our exam listings for current arrangements.

Support with enrolment

Our team supports students with arrival, enrolment, accommodation and residence permit applications. University charges, travel, accommodation and any required document processing are separate costs.

Before using any adviser, confirm their authorisation with the university and request a written explanation of fees and refund terms. You can apply to UPJŠ through Medical Doorway or contact us to discuss the process.
