Charles University offers five distinct study programmes in General Medicine and three programmes in Dentstry. Both options are available in English or Czech languages. You can compare their admission requirements here:
General Medicine in English (5 programmes)
General Medicine in Czech (5 programmes)
Dentistry in English (3 programmes)
Dentistry in Czech (3 programmes)
Submitting separate applications for multiple study programmes is possible, even encouraged, as it gives you higher chances of being admitted.
All our study programmes are uninterrupted – not divided into Bachelor’s and Master’s level. General Medicine lasts for 6 years and leads you to the Master’s degree MUDr. (Medicinae Universae Doctor = Doctor of General Medicine). Dentistry lasts for 5 years and culminates in the Master’s degree MDDr. (Medicinae Dentium Doctor = Doctor of Dental Medicine).
After completing the Master’s degree, graduates may find a job straight away, continue onto a Ph.D. programme, and/or enrol in a specialisation training (most often).
Prospective students also often consider applying for a study programme in Pharmacy or [Natural] Science.
If you already hold a Bachelor's degree in Medicine, Science or any other related field, you might consider a follow-up Master's studies of Pharmaceutical Sciences or Addictology.
Study programmes General Nursing, Paediatric Nursing, and Intensive Care are offered in Czech Language only. The language barrier can be overcome by joining our language courses first.

Charles University has five faculties of medicine, three of which are in Prague, one is located in Pilsen and one in Hradec Králové. Names of the Prague faculties include numbers signifying the order in which they were established. All of them are independent institutions of equal standing, each having its own medical facilities and Admissions Offices. They all offer degree programmes in English and the awarded degrees are comparable. The curriculum is fully compatible with the current international standards and is accredited by the European Union.
All medical faculties offer entrance examination in Czechia and abroad, some also online. See the faculty profiles for the list of representatives abroad including available dates and locations.
Our faculties of medicine follow the long tradition of medical education at Charles University that constituted one of its four original pillars of knowledge since the foundation in 1348. In the 1882/83 academic year, the Faculty of Medicine was divided into Czech and German institutions, alongside the entire university. Following the events on November 17, 1939, Nazis closed the Czech University altogether and reopened only in May 1945. The following year, the German University was shut down, while the (Czech) Faculty of Medicine acquired the property of the former German Faculty of Medicine.
In 1945, the Faculty of Medicine also established two of its branches outside the capital, which later became independent institutions:
Faculty of Medicine in Hradec Králové (LFHK) in East Bohemia
Faculty of Medicine in Pilsen (LFP) in West Bohemia
In 1953, the Ministry of Higher Education split the Faculty of Medicine in Prague into three independent faculties with slightly different focuses:
Faculty of General Medicine with focus on Stomatology, today's First Faculty of Medicine (LF1)
Faculty of Pediatric Medicine, today's Second Faculty of Medicine (LF2)
Medical Faculty of Hygiene, today's Third Faculty of Medicine (LF3)
You may apply to all our medical faculties at once, but you have to complete a separate application to every faculty. Each faculty has specific entry requirements and entrance exams.
