After passing the entrance exam and before enrolling for studies, the applicant must submit proof of completed secondary education.
An applicant can apply directly (without the representative) or through one of the official representatives. In that case, please get in touch with them for details. You may find contacts here. The representative will help you with the admission process, preparation for the entrance exam, visa procedure and much more.
Each applicant can apply once in a given academic year. You may start the application process before completing your secondary education.
The entrance examination is the main entrance requirement. For the academic year 2025/2026, we do not require any certificates for English language proficiency, nor do we require a personal statement.
You may apply for both study programmes (General Medicine and Dentistry), but separate applications are required. Other faculties of Charles University also require separate applications.

Please contact us individually if you need any special arrangements to secure your travels to the entrance examination (e.g. invitation for the entrance exam needed for a visa).
Under Art. 4 (5) of the Admissions Procedure Code of Charles University, the faculty sends the invitation to an entrance examination through the University Electronic Information System (SIS) no later than 30 days before the written exma date. Should the faculty send an alternative entrance examination date invitation, this period may be shortened. An applicant obtains a password to log into the electronic information system after registering and submitting the application to study.
All applicants are required to attend the entrance examination to be accepted for studies.
The exam consists of two main parts:
1. Written exam – multiple choice test from biology, chemistry and physics
The applicant will receive one point for each correct answer. Only if passing the first round the applicant can continue with the entrance examination.
2. Oral exam – multiple-mini-interviews (so-called MMIs)
An applicant is presented with questions and topics to discuss with various interviewers. Each interview is evaluated and scored accordingly.
Only the points obtained in the second round decide who is admitted for the studies, i.e. points collected in the first and second rounds are not added up.
Entrance examination in Prague
These dates are intended for applicants applying without representatives. At this moment, we do not plan online examinations for the admission process in 2025. If there are any changes, applicants will be informed in advance.
Regular date:
Written exam – week between June 9 and June 13, 2025 (a specific date will be announced)

There is also an additional date for the entrance examination in Prague:
Written exam – the week between June 23 and June 27, 2025 (a specific date will be announced)
Oral exam – following days after the written exam (TBC, June 2025)
The additional date is designated only for those unable to attend the regular date because of illness or other serious reasons. If you cannot attend regular term, please send us an explanation (for example, a medical report from a doctor, etc.). Note that there will be only limited time for you to make all the necessary arrangements (visa and accommodation application, etc.) should you attend this additional term, mainly due to the short time between the examination and enrollment. Those mentioned reasons are not accepted as legitimate reasons for postponing your enrollment or any study obligations. Therefore, attending the regular or early-bird term is highly recommended unless you have some serious reason not to.
If you require a visa to enter the Czech Republic, a short-term (tourist) visa is sufficient for the entrance examination.
An invitation letter to sit the entrance exam will be sent by e-mail. If the invitation letter is needed earlier, please let us know. An e-mail will be sent to every applicant who meets all the criteria.
