Candidates are offered a place at the First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University, based on their results in our entrance examination. The entrance examination is compulsory for all applicants. It consists of a written multiple-choice test from Biology, Chemistry, and Physics (equally weighted) and MMI (multiple-mini-interviews) for those who successfully pass the written part.

All parts of the entrance examination are in English and supervised by faculty members.

To have a reasonable chance of success (on average, we admit about 10% of all the applicants), it is strongly advised that the candidate studied the disciplines from which the written test is made for at least 2 of the final 4 years at the high school. Our applicants have a very diverse curriculum; however, the one most similar in scope and depth to the requirements for the entrance exam is the British A-level system.

To check how your curriculum matches our list of topics, please check the contents page for each discipline:

• Biology
• Chemistry
• Physics

You may look at one of the sample tests here (do not look at the last page until you have answered all the questions).

The written test (for the entrance examination for the academic year 2024/2025) has 75 questions in total (25 questions for each section - Biology, Chemistry, Physics). The test is structured as a single-best answer (only one option is correct).
