Calculating the final result
Admission rules have been established in the resolution no. 46/V/2023 of the Senate of the Jagiellonian University of 31 May 2023.
The final admissions result is calculated based on the following elements:

*Holders of documents confirming competency in the English language at least at the B2 level are awarded 100% of total points and are not required to take the interview.

Calculation of the final result: one subject result is chosen, guaranteeing the highest possible score for the candidate. This result becomes the candidate’s final result on the ranking list.
