Study Medicine in Slovakia – Scam Warning!

Posted on 30th July 2025 by Medical Doorway

We’ve been receiving a high number of calls and emails from aspiring medical and dental students interested in applying to UPJS in Košice, Slovakia. This comes as no surprise, given the university’s outstanding reputation and the exceptional quality of education and facilities on offer. More students than ever before want to study medicine in Slovakia. This is especially the case and the programmes are directly GMC recognised.

However, we are concerned to hear that unscrupulous, fee-charging agents are attempting to exploit this interest. Some students have reportedly been asked to pay between £1,500 and £2,200 in agency fees for help with their application and transition.

If you are a student being told to pay such fees, please be aware: this is completely unnecessary. These charges are simply an attempt to take advantage of your aspirations and, in some cases, may even be part of a potential scam.

Here’s what you need to know:

1. You do not need to pay any agency fee
