Teaching hospitals Uniwersytecki Szpital Kliniczny and Uniwersytecki Dziecięcy Szpital Kliniczny im. L. Zamenhofa provide clinical training and contribute patient-care revenue.

Clinical education and research are anchored in specialised facilities including the Medical Simulation Center (Centrum Symulacji Medycznej), Experimental Medicine Center (Centrum Medycyny Doświadczalnej), Clinical Research Support Center (Ośrodek Wsparcia Badań Klinicznych), Digital Medicine Center (Centrum Medycyny Cyfrowej), Teaching Excellence Center (Centrum Doskonałości Dydaktycznej), and Center for Regenerative Medicine, together with advanced imaging such as a Bioskaner PET/MR scanner. Administrative and learning infrastructure comprises SAP for back-office operations, a Blackboard-based educational portal, EZD for electronic document management, the myMUB mobile application, and the IRK internet-based candidate recruitment system.

The university's revenue model combines four streams: tuition (international students in the English Division, non-publicly-funded Polish students, and the MBA programme); state-budget subsidies and research grants (Ministry of Science and Higher Education, NAWA, ABM, and EU structural funds); clinical services revenue generated by the two teaching hospitals; and competitive research grants from Polish and international agencies. Student recruitment runs through the IRK system for domestic candidates and through the International Cooperation Department plus education fairs for the English Division, with the myMUB app supporting prospective and current students across the funnel.
