Comenius University's Jessenius Faculty of Medicine in Martin offers the same prestigious Comenius University medical degree as Bratislava but in a smaller, more intimate university town setting in central Slovakia. The six-year English-taught programme trains students at the Martin University Hospital — a 900-bed academic centre and central Slovakia's largest hospital. The Jessenius Faculty (named after the famous physician Jan Jessenius who performed the first public autopsy in Prague in 1600) has notable strengths in anatomy, pulmonology, and respiratory medicine — the National Institute of Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases is co-located.

Martin is a small Slovak city in the picturesque Turiec basin surrounded by mountains, offering excellent skiing, hiking, and an extremely affordable, safe student environment. For UK students who prefer a smaller, quieter study environment over city life, Comenius Martin offers the same prestigious university degree at approximately £8,500/year with intimate class sizes, mountain lifestyle, and EU-recognised qualifications.
