The rules governing admissions do not specify the term “transfer” (or changing the focus/major of studies). You would need to apply as a regular applicant, meet the admission requirements, and enter the first year. Only after that, you could eventually ask for the recognition of credits you have already received for identical courses elsewhere (based on your transcript). Their recognition cannot be guaranteed beforehand. Therefore, we recommend you to contact the respective faculty and consult your options. Please note that the intake takes place only once a year.

Medicine

Charles University has 5 independent faculties (schools) of medicine. Only two of these faculties allow transfers under very specific conditions:

Second Faculty of Medicine – TRANSFER CONDITIONS

Third Faculty of Medicine – TRANSFER CONDITIONS

Note that knowledge of the Czech language is required in higher years of study due to the clinical training in hospitals. For further questions, please contact the two faculties directly.

Concerning the other three faculties, you always have to be admitted to the first year and only afterwards, you could ask for the recognition of credits you have already received for identical courses elsewhere (based on your transcript). Their recognition cannot be guaranteed beforehand. Therefore, we recommend you to contact the respective faculty and consult your options. Please note that the intake takes place only once a year.
