- Thinking about studying Medicine abroad?
Did someone tell you about Charles University in the Czech Republic?
But still not much info or insights on the pros and cons? Fear no more!
Be sure to write all your questions in the comment section below and I'll make sure to answer all of them.
Best regards
I am a second year at the First Faculty at Charles Uni. The entrance test consisted of Biology, Chemistry and physics (you could choose between math and physics before but when I passed it there was only physics). I got circa 80.5% score and was directly accepted. I still had to pass an interview, but that was a formality to make sure I spoke english properly. It was just a conversation about why i wanted to medicine etc. They don't really have a limit number for accepted students, you need to get around 80-85% of points (at least thats what they told us)
To study for the test I redid the previous questions from previous exams a billion times :) I had a lot that were given to me for the entrance test for Masaryk Uni and it was about the same requirements knowledge-wise.
BE CAREFUL WHICH COMPANY YOU GO THROUGH TO PASS THE EXAM! SOME HAVE EXTRA FEES THAT CAN BE ASTRONOMICAL, MAKE SURE YOU READ THE FINE PRINT!
As for the studies themselves, MEDSOC the student association is there to help the english students and there are A LOT of notes to help you during your studies.
Life is good in Prague, come join us :)
@Sylvain Is there a place to find previous exams, or do you need to know someone, who knows someone kind of thing?
Im thinking of going to med school, at charles university too. Do you have any socials I can contact you on?
Are lots of people failing out in your University? I have heard this is common in Czech Republic so this is off-putting.
lukasz m what really? where did you hear this from? I was thinking of going to czech for med school
could you tell me what type of questions are asked?
Thank you by the way
Como foi adaptação a um novo país? Foi através da information planet que decidiste estudar na rep. checa? Não tinhas média para entrar em portugal?
What agents would you recommend for a U.K. student. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This video has been very informative
Hello,sir could you tell me what questions they have asked to you in entrance interview ?
What is the acceptance of medical degree of Czech in europ or UK Canada Australia etc countries
which one is top most college in czech
You didn't put the intuition prices for both EU and non EU students
Hi, my language learning skills aren't that great, but I heard that you need to learn the language to speak with patients in your last years of school. It it true, or do you think I could do fine with english the whole time?
Magdalena M. Hello Magdalena,
Yes you need to learn Czech in order to communicate with patients, usually you have classes during the first 2 years of school but you can also sign in for extra electives throughout the clinical years.
Cheers
Nice video, but I wonder is many people failing the first year? or second? In Budapest for example alot of people are repating, because its so hard to pass.
Hey!
One could extrapolate a few theories but a mixture of not knowing how to study properly, not studying enough and ahead and also some social and psychological aspects. It is not easy moving to a different country, culture and start whole new life.
Do you have to take undergraduate classes then go to med school? I'm a bit confused with the situation after high school...pls someone help
Hey there Jovic!
I guess it would depend on the country you are referring to... for example in Portugal there is no ' Pre Med' or anything like that...
Reach out to the Embassy of the country your interested in and perhaps also the appointed Medical Board? They will definitely help you!
@bare bra maybe thay terminated your study, because thay realized, that you are too stupid for that. lol
Okay, mega pergunta, tenho quase a certeza que és português e se és de certeza fizeste os exames nacionais cá, estes contam alguma coisa na admissão?
Olá :)
Diretamente não contam para nada Carolina :) Indiretamente sim, visto que precisas de fazer os exames nacionais em Portugal para obter o comprovativo do ensino secundário.
I am second year dental student. I want to join dentistry program from 1st yr in czech. I don't have an A level. Is it essential?? Can I join foundation program in the university without A level ??
Hi Thazin,
Unfortunately it's been a while since I left uni, plus I was not in the dental programme. My advice is you should probably reach out to the English studies office, draft an email and ask all your questions.
Hello, I'm planning to attend Charles University next year, and it's tough for me to understand the differences between 1, 2 and 3rd faculties in Prague. Are the any one's? Thanks in advance
Hi Andrew,
Unfortunately, I did not experience 1st 2nd or 3rd Faculties in Prague myself.
They all fall under the same umbrella (Charles University) but there will be differences in departments, teachers, student communities etc.
My advice would be to look for Facebook groups and student associations of all the faculties you are interested in and ask your questions directly to fellow students.
General comments we overheard was that 2nd Faculty was very demanding.
@ well, thanks)
First . ♥️👍🙏
are there any Indians in Pilsen ?
Dissection in Czech is it on cadavers ??
@ahmen mostafa yes of course. We do everything from scratch ourselves supervised by teachers
hi, i'm interested in studying medicine either in Pilsen or in Brno, do you know anything about Brno university? thank you
Hey! I have little knowledge regarding Brno University itself search for MIMSA.cz in facebook. It is their student's association and they can definitely help you.
@bare bra why what happend to you plz explain
I am interested in going this year to prague but after watching your video I think I am changing to Pilsen.
I have a question regarding the entrance exam please.
Is there certain study materiel/books to buy so I can study for the exam?
Hello :)
Glad I could help, shedding some light on the matter. Regarding study materials yes there are, depending on which way you choose to go for the entrance exams the agency/faculty should help you with it.

Thank you so much for your reply.
I do also have another 1 if you don't mind?
Do you think it is easier to pass the entrance exam at the faculty in Pilsen thank the other faculty?
I really appreciate you taking the time answering our questions.
bobo bea hey I’m going to take the exams in a few weeks! Will u?
bare bra it’s true that the level of difficulty of the medical studies in The Czech Republic is high but I know many students who are currently studying there and they all talk with pride about their medical studies even if they are hard. I got admitted to the second faculty like a month ago and I’m so excited!
bare bra how can i contact you for more information please? Am also from the Scandanavia
is there a lot of swedes in pilsen ?
Roni Can Hi!
Maybe around 20 throughout all years.
I'm from South America and I'm thinking of going to study The University in Czech Republic, how difficult medicine is
Well... it is a lot of work. As in any other field, specifically in Medicine, the long hours of study and huge books to learn is what takes the most of your time and energy. A lot of hard work and above all discipline is what will get you through in my opinion.
@bare bra omg I am a black student from Scandinavia too and I had a horrible experience there too ( I studied dentistry at Charles in Hradec Kralove though). I am now at another uni in another country though. I think this video is good but maybe he should talk about the racism and discrimination that is normalized in the country aswell.... Oh yea and the corruption.
Mampol Faburay could you tell me more about the racism and discrimination in Czech?
This exams are just for medicine's students or for all programs ?
Back in my day there were entrance exams for all programmes
Podes fazer um video sobre os exames de admissão? Obg
Posso considerar sim, mas se quiseres publico toda a info nos comentários!
Como te der mais jeito
I want to know how to apply without going to office in my country. ,
I don't know exactly what do you mean by ''going to office'' but contact the faculty and they should help you!

André Fernandes thank you for your help another question the first year is it general? Or it is part of medicine?
@@user-so8jc3jy5p First year is already Medicine, you have for example Medical Chemistry, Anatomy, Biology, First Aid etc
is the test hard in Pragye? I heard only 25% can pass the test... is that true?
bare bra are u serious
bare bra how did they steal from you over 6 years? didnt you graduate?
bare bra oh no....i was gonna apply to charles’ first faculty but now im reconsidering
bare bra how many people were with you in 6th year
@@saherbhati Do not take only his opinion. If he failed a state exam that is his fault. Especially since you have 3 attempts at each exam so it sucks but its the not the university's fault if he failed. Also Sedmera is a sweetheart (the vicious vice dean he's talkin about).
How about the prestige? Which uni do you think is the most prestigious? Cause after your general studies in med you are going for medical specialization and the uni you studied does matter.
Both Plzen and Prague Faculties of Medicine belong to the same University.
Charles University has five faculties of medicine.
Three of which are in Prague, one is located in Pilsen and one in Hradec Kralove. They are independent institutions of equal standing, each having its own medical facilities. They all offer degree programmes in English.
And the Charles University itself is well ranked:
"The faculty is consistently ranked in the top 200, out of 17000 institutions in the world. It is currently ranked #152 in the world." (from wikipedia).
I guess one could say a degree from the Faculty of Medicine In Prague can have more prestige but personally I can't really vouch for it. Haven't heard any employer personally commenting on this matter nor have I any data to support.
André Fernandes thanks! You are really helpful.

I got accepted into first faculty(Charles),Masaryk University, and Palacky University
i was considering joining first faculty,
but i hear they have high attrition rate
should i join them ?
What's a attrition rate?
Failure rate
chaitanya kapoor failure rate in not getting a residency or their degrees? Also, where do you find the attrition rate for a particular university from?
I have heard this also we need more info.
chaitanya kapoor does getting into Charles medicine require any payment for entrance according tony knowledge they are asking 70,000INR for entrance is it needed pls someone reply
You mean only one third successfully completes med school in Pilsen?
Who told you?
1st Year Medical Biochemistry Professor.
And the maths checks with graduates from my year.
@ okay. Why do people leave? Because they do not pass exams?
Or because they just did not study enough?
Do you think anyone can make it?
Hi
Hard questions... multifactorial and hard to say or even pin it down to one single factor.
But I guess it all boils down to not studying enough or well I dare to say.
It’s not about the quantity but quality, actually learning the content and making the best out of your time. I strongly believe that anyone who puts the effort in will make it.
The very first thing you need to know before studying Medicine is learning HOW TO STUDY. What methods best suit you, how to test yourself etc etc
Cheers
@ Thank you for quick response!
Can you tell me your best advice or tipp? I am looking forward to studying but an approval rate of one third sounds crazy.
@ WTF wait a minute, u mean only 1/3 of those who commence the course actually finish?
Could you find out if this is similar for Masaryk University?
Please is the entrance exam very difficult? And what rate of acceptance
from what I remember it is quite low.. but you need to get 80% score at the entrance exam to get accepted. Thats how it was two years ago at least.
you will find your info here : en.lf1.cuni.cz/how-to-prepare-for-entrance-exams
@@sylvain3421 are you still active?
I got accepted into first faculty of medicine should I join?
chaitanya kapoor hello I have my exam on June 8 can you tell me how was your exam and are there any tips you can give me
@@Augustusassasino the exam of first faculty was easy... Biology was a bit confusing though
I am wondering should I join first faculty
They have a very high attrition rate
My father wants me to join palacky
chaitanya kapoor well yes I have read that before they do have a high attrition rate but both universities are prestigious and are good so you might want to consider palacký

WTF bro respond to my earlier comment please. It is important.
lukasz m Hello Lukasz M
To be perfectly candid I do not appreciate the tone, set some time aside to rethink your attitude and professionalism.
I am not aware of any rates in Masaryk’s University unfortunately.
Advice:
Reach out to the student forums of the above mentioned university as they will provide you with the most updated and appropriate advice.
(e.g. Student association or freshers facebook groups)
Kind regards
@ yes you go André!!!!!!!!
