Students interested in studying Medicine or Dentistry at Pavol Jozef Safarik University (UPJS) will soon have the opportunity to sit the UPJS Entrance Exam in the United Kingdom.
Following the success of the UPJS exam sitting held in Manchester earlier this year, MedConnect Europe is pleased to announce that the UPJS Entrance Exam will be taking place in London on 29 August 2026. This official exam sitting gives students the opportunity to complete the admissions process closer to home without travelling to Košice, Slovakia.
For many applicants, travelling abroad simply to sit an entrance examination can be expensive and inconvenient. By bringing the UPJS Entrance Exam to London, students can save on travel costs while still completing the same admissions assessment required by the university.
Whether you are applying for Medicine or Dentistry, the London UPJS Entrance Exam provides a convenient opportunity to begin your journey towards studying at one of Slovakia’s most established medical universities.
UPJS Entrance Exam Returns to the UK
The upcoming London sitting follows the successful UPJS Entrance Exam organised by MedConnect Europe in Manchester earlier this year.
The Manchester event welcomed students from across the UK who were interested in studying Medicine and Dentistry abroad. Rather than travelling to Slovakia, students were able to complete the entrance exam for UPJS locally and continue with their applications from the UK.
The positive response to the Manchester sitting demonstrated the growing demand for opportunities to study medicine abroad. Many students appreciated being able to sit the UPJS Entrance Exam in a familiar environment while avoiding the costs associated with international travel.
Following this success, MedConnect Europe worked closely with the university to organise another UK sitting of the UPJS Entrance Exam, this time in London.
Why Sit the UPJS Entrance Exam in London?
One of the biggest advantages of the London UPJS Entrance Exam is convenience.
Traditionally, students would need to travel to Košice, Slovakia, in order to sit the UPJS Entrance Exam. This often involves arranging flights, accommodation, transport, and time away from home.
By attending the London Entrance Exam for Pavol Jozef Safarik University, students can complete the same admissions assessment without leaving the country.

However, there is absolutely no obligation to do so in order to take the UPJS Entrance Exam.
