Recognition of completed courses
Every student who will successfully pass the entrance examination (please see our webpage regarding the application procedure https://www.upjs.sk/en/faculty-of-medicine/applicants/entrance-examination/), has an opportunity to apply for the recognition of the completed courses from the previous study which hasn´t been completed.
Based on planned revision of The Study Rules of Procedure Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice, The Faculty of Medicine is assumed that student is allowed to apply for recognition of the subject from previous uncompleted study till 15th September in the current year.
After passing the entrance exam and submitting the course recognition documents to the Study Department – Ing. Mária Spišáková, the management of the faculty will decide on the recognition of completed courses and the year into which the student will be accepted. The applicant may apply for recognition of the study subject at the beginning of his/her study in the prescribed form with mandatory attachments filled.
Please note that:
- The courses may be recognized only if they were completed within the last 5 years from the beginning of the respective academic year.
- The student may not transfer credits for successful completion of a study subject in a course of study which has been duly completed and was awarded an academic degree.
