Slovak medical universities generally have a high acceptance rate compared to many Western European and North American institutions. The admission process is primarily based on an entrance exam in Biology and Chemistry, rather than competition for a limited number of seats. As long as applicants meet the academic requirements and perform well in the entrance exam, they have a strong chance of admission.

is it okay to apply with predicted grades, and submit the high school transcript certificate by mid august ?
For certain study programs, it may be possible. Kindly let us know which program you are interested in so we can provide more details.
Yes, many Slovak universities allow applicants to apply with predicted grades, especially for English-taught programs. However, the final high school transcript and diploma must be submitted before the enrollment deadline.
Most universities have different deadlines depending on the program and institution. While mid-August may be acceptable for some universities, others may require the final documents earlier.

Are GCSE’s considered as the high school diploma? If yes, what are the minimal grades needed to apply for medicine?
In Slovakia, the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) alone is generally not considered sufficient for direct entry into university programs. Most universities require applicants to have completed A-levels, IB, or an equivalent secondary school qualification that grants access to higher education.
Admission requirements vary by program and institution. Many universities require applicants to pass an entrance examination in relevant subjects, such as Biology and Chemistry for medical programs or Mathematics and Physics for engineering programs. Some universities may also accept standardized tests like the SAT, but this depends on the specific institution.
For English-taught programs, universities may require proof of language proficiency, such as IELTS or TOEFL, unless the applicant’s previous education was in English. Additionally, applicants may need to submit documents such as a high school diploma, transcripts, a motivation letter, and recommendation letters.
