Entrance proceedure taking place in London. Apply now to reserve your seat.
Since 1992, Charles University, Faculty of Medicine in Hradec Kralove has organised medicine and dentistry degree courses taught entirely in the English language.
Teaching at the Faculty of Medicine in Hradec Kralove is arranged in 51 departments with a teaching staff of 247. This ensures that the instruction is of a high standard. The Faculty is well equipped with the latest computers and is involved in many research activities.
Clinical instruction takes place at the Faculty Hospital, which has 1750 beds and 430 doctors. At present, there are about 900 Czech students studying on the Czech course and over 200 foreign students studying on the English programme at the Medical Faculty. There is a 50:50 male to female student ratio.
Teaching is oriented towards a detailed knowledge of the structure and functional relationships of the human body, from the molecular level to the organs and systems level.
Over the first two years (4 semesters) both general medicine and dentistry students study the same core subjects at the Theoretical Institute. These include Biophysics, Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Anatomy, Physiology, Embryology and Histology.
During the first 2 years of study, all foreign students are taught the Czech language to enable them to communicate with patients and nurses (who may not speak adequate English) during the clinical part of the course.
The last two years, which are entirely clinical, are based at the University Hospital. The main areas of instruction are Internal Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynaecology and Preventative Medicine and Hygiene. This part of the course concludes with the final examinations at the end of the sixth year.
The Medical Faculty of Charles University has a newly revised course in Dentistry. Dental students are taught separately from medical students from very early on in the course to provide greater depth and focus on dental procedures. The dental degree course at Hradec Kralove is shorter and less expensive than the other courses we offer at Charles University.
The Dentistry course includes dental propedeutics, which provides theoretical information on tooth care and practical skills based on the use of phantoms. In the third and fourth years, students begin to focus on their major subjects such as Therapeutic, Prosthetic and Surgical Dentistry. This continues until the final exams in the fifth year.

Many UK medical schools and dental schools receive many applications to study medicine or study dentistry and places are very limited. Therefore, the preparation of a UCAS application form for medical or dental school is very important. Online Medical Admission forums are an excellent way to exchange views and ideas on what medical schools are looking for and which medical and which dental schools actually ask the toughest interview questions. The premed course is an excellent way to secure a place at a UK medical schools in the UK or medical schools based abroad. Medical and dental school applicants are strongly advised to get as much medical work experience and possible. Medical work experience seminars and dental work experience seminars consist of a series of medical seminars and dental seminars at a NHS hospital based in Britain. Many students also fine that UKCAT revision and UCAS Personal statement checking is very helpful.
Fierce competition for UK medical school places has encouraged students to embark on medical degrees and dental degrees outside of the UK, such as: Medical schools in Poland, Medical schools in Slovakia, Dental schools in Slovakia, Medical schools in Prague, Dental schools in Prague and Medical schools in the Caribbean.
