By students, for students.

Learn from those who know it best: older students! We know how challenging it can be to navigate UMB without practical guidance.

That's why we sit down and keep updating our comprehensive library – which we hope to keep available to you online and free of charge!

Use our guides to plan for your upcoming courses, explore life around campus, and to better grasp your studies. If you like what you see and want to give back, consider joining our team! Read more, below.

A few points you should know:

Our website is curated by students from the English Division at the Medical University of Białystok.
We are not a replacement for official university sources; always verify with them!
Our viewpoints may not always align with the university's.
We are a small project supported by our Deans, not an official student organization.
We aim to provide practical information from a student's perspective.
We publish for educational purposes; some information may be outdated. Please verify independently.
Please do not share our links or content with outsiders [unaffiliated with the UMB English Division].

Thank you!

You can become a Student Guide!

Joining our team can become more than updating our website. It's because we stopped complaining a while ago, and, instead, started to work on the things we missed.

You can, too! Leave with a positive impact, create new opportunities – in whatever area you are passionate about, build raport with authorities, and own the future here at the faculty of your choice!

If you stick with us (long-term quality involvement required), we want to return the favor and present you with:

A certificate from our Dean upon graduation with distinction.
A personal letter of reference for your CV and applications.
A network of contacts you wouldn’t make otherwise.

Ready to make a difference? Talk to us in person about your ideas. We’re excited to welcome passionate students aboard.

Current Projects

These are our current projects. Involvement in any of these will earn you our rewards. Because our website functions a lot like OneNote or Notion, we believe that students who already know how to create notes using these tools AND who have an eye for organisation will be the best candidates for our team. If this sounds like you, don’t hesitate to contact us!

Subject guides (Years 1 to 6). As the year goes by, we review our subject guides and think of important practical details to include. We can also go talk with staff, pass down information to the authors from the years below, etc.
"In & Around" guides. We update these pages with new information for newly arriving students (e.g., Erasmus).
"Post-Graduation" guides. Here, we are trying to give aid and perspectives for applying abroad, incl. practical information on the local Lek & Staz.
"UMB English Division" WhatsApp channel (Join here). Some of us are in the know and good with posting updates about university and extracurricular activity, such as student events, parties, Erasmus events, etc. They can earn their certificate by being good hosts of the channel (and events, maybe!).
Sundays Sports. Some of us are staying in touch with the PE department to organize free-to-join sport sessions on Sundays for English and Polish students alike.
more to come & open to your ideas
