About the course

A 3-year (6-semester, 180 ECTS) bachelor’s degree in midwifery taught in English in Lublin, with practical training in healthcare settings. Students also take a Polish-language module.

Entry requirements for Irish students

  • The university assesses the Irish Leaving Certificate individually and does not publish a fixed Irish requirement. Contact admissions to confirm. Your school-leaving certificate must be legalised; for Ireland this means an Apostille.
  • No entrance exam or interview is described on the programme page; the admission-requirements page says an entrance exam may be held for bachelor’s programmes ‘where applicable’, so ask admissions whether one applies.
  • English at B2 or above: TOEFL 550, IELTS 6.0 or FCE grade B.

Working in Ireland afterwards

Midwifery qualifications from EU/EEA countries go through the same NMBI process as nursing: recognition first, then registration. Qualifications listed in Annex V of Directive 2005/36/EC can use the G1 automatic recognition pathway, where NMBI only checks your paperwork. Others may be assessed under the general system (G2) and may need a compensation measure; NMBI has adaptation guidance for midwives. Your group is decided through NMBI’s MyNMBI tool, and English-language requirements apply.

How to apply

  1. Check requirementsConfirm your Leaving Certificate and English evidence meet the university’s requirements and ask admissions whether an entrance exam applies.

  3. Accept your offerIf you meet the requirements you receive an Offer Letter by email; sign the Acceptance of Offer and send it with confirmation of the initial payment. The university then issues a Final Acceptance Letter.

Deadline for Irish/EU applicants: For the October 2026 intake the deadline for EU candidates was 15 September 2026 (31 August 2026 for non-EU candidates). The university also lists a March intake (EU deadline 15 February 2026). Deadlines for 2027 entry are not yet published; confirm with the International Admissions Office..

Costs

  • EUR 4,500 a year (the annual rate applies when the university receives full payment by 5 October; otherwise EUR 2,500 per semester), plus a one-off non-refundable administration fee of EUR 200. The standard fee applies to applicants from all countries except Poland, so Irish and other EU students pay it. These are the currently published figures; confirm 2027/28 fees with the university.
Midwifery qualifications from the EU go through NMBI recognition then registration: Annex V qualifications can use the G1 automatic pathway, others may be assessed under G2 with a possible compensation measure, and English-language requirements apply. The course includes a Polish-language module so students can manage day to day in Poland.
