Charles University, Prague

I am a medicine student.

The only thing I know about Brno is that it has been revamped three years ago so it has more modern facilities.

I'm in third year, from the UK and all is well and good

I think the test is compulsory, no matter your grades but if you want to make sure I would phone CMUCAS, one of the administrative centres for admission to Prague and they are based in the UK (Malvern, Worcestershire), +44 1684 892757 or you could e-mail them: [email protected]

The admissions test can also be taken at Malvern as well. I think that there are other admissions centres in the UK, but I don't know their contact details.

As for registering to the GMC, I haven't got to that stage yet so I'm not worrying about that for now, I'm still going through med school.

Thanks for that info really helped..im really scared now why is the drop out rate 53? thats SO high! Is it impossibly hard?? im scared that if i go i dont pass in the first year and i wouldve wasted so much money

The workload is heavy so a good work ethic is required (make some time for fun as well).

Fear is natural. It's what you do with the fear that counts - either work your way around your fear and stay positive or succumb to it and get screwed.

Good luck :-)

Anyone know any good agencies to apply through.
Ive found EUNICAS. does anyone know if its any good?

Thanks ive applied now through M&D im waiting, so nervous! and thanks i know that if i get a place hopefully i will work really hard! So lucky your there is it fun aswell? the city and stuff and are people friendly?

is anyone thinking of applying to uem valencia?

hi VoodooTik

what books do you recommend learning from for the entrance exam for cmucas to prague?

Hi, i havnt heard of EUNICAS before i just had a look now that you mentioned it, looks okay thanks for sharing...I have applied through M&D, if i dont get in through there i will resort to EUNICAS because the deadline is june 30th so that gives me time! Anyway goodluck what course are you hoping to apply for? I think M&D were pretty straight forward but i cant really say yet ive only just applied.

Prague has lots of places to go to and cheap places to eat (if you know where to find them), despite its small size as a city (compared to London, etc).

The old people are reluctant to speak English, if you're asking for directions and stuff and may stare at you a little bit if you're brown, but the young people and adults are nice.

Thats not good for me then, so are they racist!

Chill! It's only the old people, not the whole of Prague! And they're only just going to look at you not stab you to death! I've been on so many nights out in Prague and I haven't been called one racial slur during my whole three years here

Medicine, im apply through CMUCAS now because thats what the 1st faculty website says, if you are from the UK.
what course are you looking to do. did you apply to uk unis this year?
