Charles University First Faculty of Medicine

Becoming a Doctor or Dentist Starts Here — in the Heart of Europe

Founded in 1348, Charles University is the oldest university in Central Europe and ranks among the world’s top 1.5%.

• At its First Faculty of Medicine, you can earn a globally recognized General Medicine (6-year) or Dentistry (5-year) degree.
• Both are fully recognised across the EU and EEA. They are also widely accepted in countries like the UK, U.S., Canada, India, Israel, and Japan, though local licensing exams or registration may still apply.
• Around 80–90 % of students who advance beyond the early years successfully complete the program — a strong signal that motivated and well-prepared students thrive here.
• All this with affordable tuition fees, top hospitals, and vibrant student life in one of the world’s safest cities.

Join students from over 80 countries at a faculty that combines academic excellence with hands-on experience from year one. Train in world-class Prague hospitals, learn in small groups, and develop your critical thinking through evidence-based education.

“I was inspired by my parents’ deep passion for medicine, which made me realize early on that this was the path I wanted to follow. At First Faculty, studying subjects like anatomy, physiology, microbiology, and genetics has only strengthened my commitment. The combination of academic rigour and personal growth opportunities here truly prepares me to become the kind of doctor I aspire to be.”
