Please note that the Government of the Slovak Republic adopted novel Decree No. 88/2021 regarding the exemptions to remote learning for General medicine students. Accordingly, the University’s Rector yesterday (14/02/2021) decided, via Rector assignation No. UK 5/2021, to offer exemptions for in-person learning process to students of the 4^th year, 5^th year, and 6^th year of study.

The international students of the 4^th year, 5^th year, and 6^th year of study who are currently in Martin, or those planning to come to Slovakia are allowed from February 15, 2021 to join the certain clinical subjects - clinical and practical tuition (please see the Timetables for Summer semester - 4^th and 5^thyear) personally. We kindly ask those students of the 4^th year, 5^th year, and 6^th year of study who are personally in Martin and would like to follow limited hybrid learning, to notify responsible Study officer.

As for the international students of the 4^th year, 5^th year, and 6^th year of study who are currently in their home countries and are not planning or are not allowed to travel to Martin, Slovakia, and for the international students of the 1^th year, 2^th year, and 3^th year of study the learning process will be carried out fully remotely.
