At present there are 1324 students studying General Medicine and Dentistry in the undergraduate medical degree study programs here in the Czech and the English languages.
Medical Degree Study Programs
Medical degree study programs in General Medicine (6 years) and Dentistry (5 years) are arranged along the lines of theoretical, pre-clinical and clinical studies in 49 theoretical and pre-clinical departments, clinical departments and institutes.
The clinical instruction takes place in the Faculty Hospital - a complex of 37 clinics and departments with 1500 beds and a staff of 3800, of which 520 are physicians.
Programs in the English Language
Since 1992 the Faculty has organised medical degree study programs in the English language (296 students studying in the academic year 2008/2009).
All classes in both theoretical and clinical studies are taught in English, however, Czech language classes are an obligatory part of the curriculum during the first and the second year of study in order to prepare the students for communication with patients in their clinical lessons.
The curricula of Czech and English courses are entirely parallel and fully comparable with the current international standard. They are accredited by EU.
International students are offered a choice of passing their medical curricula in English. The Program of General Medicine takes 6 years and the graduates are awarded the degree MUDr. ("Medicinae Universae Doctor") equal to M.D. - Doctor of General Medicine.
The Program of Dentistry takes 5 years and the graduates are awarded the degree MDDr. ("Medicinae Dentium Doctor")
