For those who are going to sit for the entrance exam, the questions are all objective questions. All the questions include Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics/Physics. Choose one between Mathematics and Physics. All questions are of A-levels standard. What to wear? Wear casually for the exam and formally for the interview. Don't worry too much about the interview, in my opinion they just want a casual talk with you to see if your command of English is acceptable in Czech Republic. I personally passed the exam AND the interview, and I will be going to Charles Univeristy in Prague to study this September. All the best!

Yh am not worried about the interview , it's the exam , biology and chemistry I'm good with I'm not with physics it's my weak point plus I can't even take maths bcoz I bc never done at alevel
So are they assessing the exam
They look at each subject or is it all together that you hv to pass

I says on their website that 'Successful candidates must achieve at least 185 points out of 240' (~77%) from both the exam and interview.

Are you goin to sit the exam for 1st faculty charles on 20th july ( and brno exam on 21st if you're unsuccessful for charles)

hi guys,

Im applying to Charles for medicine. I'm from India, but lived in Dubai all my life, English is my first language. Did GCSEs, and currently doing A2's

Existing students: Can I have some detailed views please? These would be much appreciated! Like

-hows the quality of the course?
-what are the people like?
-easy to settle in?
-course harder here than it would be in the uk?
-quality of teaching and professors
-quality of english communication by teachers?

And when you had to upload your resume, what did you include?

THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE; NO IDEA HOW MUCH THIS MEANS

I will email them asking about the entrance exams this week :smile:

I'm really worried about the language barrier

It frightens me that you have to pass your Latin and Czech exams consistently or else you face expulsion

I don't know how difficult it would be to learn a new language :frown:

Sorry to bump an old thread.....but I thought the medicine course at charles university was fully in English? I understand why they teach Latin (anatomy etc) but why do we need to learn Czech language?

Tbh it doesn't seem like a great course then, if that's the reason. Learning a language to fluency is exceptionally tough especially to use in clinicals and Czech seems like such a tough language too on top of a classic traditional med course (not the new easy PBL stuff).

I would have thought they at least use translators, and have the entire course taught in English.

And I'm also an Asian

I have a brother who is a 5th year medic at edinburgh university and with my family and friends there has always been this pressure and influence of prestige

I know one of the main reasons people from the UK go to Prague to study medicine is because they are unable to hold any offers from any medical schools here

I can't decide whether it would be better for me to do a Bachelors in science here or go to Prague

I personally value a medical degree from Prague to be higher than a bachelors degree from a UK university

But I wanted to ask what your opinion would be?

Sorry but it's just with my family background I have been brought up with this idea

Congrats to everybody who got accepted at Charles University, Faculty of Medicine in Hradec Kralove. Even though the 1st, 2nd and 3rd medical faculties in Prague seem to be more popular, the medical faculty in Hradec Kralove is considered to be the best of all. They currently have a new campus which is big and really beautiful. The lectures, seminars and practical classes will sometimes take place in the old campus though. However, don't worry they are not that far from each other. There are many international students there, so don't worry you will not be alone. The city is small so it's easy to get around. The studies are quite hard though. If you think that just because you are not in the UK it will be easier then trust me you are wrong. You need to study everyday and make sure you are not falling behind. In order to pass to the next year you need to pass all the exams you had in your previous one. In order to remain in the faculty you need to have a certain amount of credits which you gain by passing exams or credit tests. If you fail to get this certain amount of credits by the end of the year then you will be kicked out. So study hard and keep your eyes open. There are always many opportunities for internships and stuff like that for good students. Medicine is hard but if you are really passionate about it you'll definitely enjoy your studies at this faculty so make the most of it. It's a very respected university in the Czech Republic and in Europe as well. Good luck to all.
