UKIM's international study options span technical, social-science and health faculties, with selected English-taught routes rather than an English-only university catalogue. Its central admission competition and faculty pages must be read together. Foreign qualification recognition, teaching language and professional accreditation need particular attention; a recruitment notice does not replace the current year's official admission call.

Selected programme examples

  1. Software Engineering and Information Systems — English-taught first-cycle route
  2. General Medicine — English-taught integrated route; confirm current faculty intake
  3. Integrated Studies in Dental Medicine — English-taught route

Admission planning

A little clarity.
A better next step.

Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • The 2026/27 central call assesses foreign applicants against relevant secondary education and school grades, with additional aptitude checks for some subjects.
  • Foreign school documents require the specified recognition/nostrification process before enrolment.
  • Postgraduate admission is handled through separate cycle and faculty criteria; the first-cycle competition is not a master's application route.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • Use the language specified for the exact programme.
  • The Dentistry faculty accepts specified English evidence, including an international certificate or prior education in English.
  • No single UKIM-wide IELTS cutoff was verified.
  • Macedonian-language courses and language-preparation programmes have their own requirements and do not establish automatic entry to a degree.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • Full-degree admission follows the annual university competition and faculty enrolment calendar.
  • The published 2026/27 call is current-year documentation; it should not be relabelled as a 2027/28 offer or an open rolling intake.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • The 2026/27 call directs foreign applicants to the Rectorate and specifies the cycle's application/enrolment procedure.
  • Some central explanatory web text still refers to older years, and the separate 2025 recruitment notice is closed.
  • A verified next 2027/28 closing date was not established; use the new competition when issued.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • Programme-specific in euros, payable in the stated local-currency equivalent.
  • The 2026/27 central competition lists EUR 5,000 for Dentistry in English, while the undated faculty enrolment page quotes EUR 6,000 per academic year.
  • These sources conflict; obtain the faculty's written fee for the intended cohort before paying.
  • Neither figure is a university-wide price.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • The university lists foundations, ministry schemes and mobility opportunities with different eligibility.
  • For example, its advertised Fulbright route concerns North Macedonian citizens going to the United States, not incoming Indian applicants.
  • No automatic international entry award for the selected English degrees was verified.
