Charles University Medicine Entrance Exams 2027

No, and it is the fact candidates most often miss. Charles University has five faculties of medicine, and each runs its own admission procedure for its English-taught programmes: its own written test, with its own subjects, question count and scoring, its own second round (or none), its own dates, fee and places. A result at one faculty counts for nothing at another.

So the first decision is which faculties to apply to. Everything below is from each faculty's own admission pages and from Charles University's 2027/28 admissions records, read on 15 October 2026.

The table sets the five tests side by side for the 2027/28 intake (General Medicine; three faculties also teach Dentistry in English).

First Faculty of Medicine (LF1, Prague): the oldest and largest, teaching General Medicine and Dentistry in English. Its written test of 75 single-best-answer questions is only a gate: candidates over the Dean's limit sit an online multiple mini-interview (MMI) of five stations, and the MMI score alone decides admission. Its third block, General Science, has no official syllabus.

Second Faculty of Medicine (LF2, Prague): 75 questions in 90 minutes, with a Logic section and Physics and Biophysics, and science items where any number of the four options can be right, all of which must be marked to score. The best written results go on to an interview, and the two are added together.

Third Faculty of Medicine (LF3, Prague): the shortest science menu, 60 questions in Biology and Chemistry only, sat on your own laptop, then a short interview scored 12 to 62. It also runs its own premedical course.

Faculty of Medicine in Hradec Králové: 60 answered questions, Biology and Chemistry plus your choice of Physics or Mathematics, five options each, then a two-part interview worth 40 points. Its own sitting is held online through the testing company Scio.

Faculty of Medicine in Pilsen: 60 questions in Biology, Chemistry and Physics, 20 each, with at least 9 needed in every subject, and no interview at all: the written test decides.

What every faculty shares is Biology and Chemistry at the level of a strong school-leaving exam: LF1 names British A-levels as the closest curriculum, and LF3 the Czech grammar-school programme. What differs is the third part:

None of the five publishes an archive of past papers. Each publishes official sample material instead, and none of it explains its answers:

Every faculty closes applications for 2027/28 on 30 April 2027, and an application counts only once its fee is paid.

Yes, but each application is separate. LF1's admissions page puts it plainly: "If you are also applying to other faculties of Charles University, those applications must be submitted separately as well." Each one is a separate application in Charles University's online system, with its own fee, its own test and its own result.

The faculties' own Prague sittings fall on different days in 2027 (26 May Pilsen, 28 May LF3, 3 June LF2, with LF1's in the 24–28 May window and Hradec's in May), so most combinations can be sat; check each invitation before you book travel. LF1 and Hradec Králové allow one sitting per applicant in an academic year, and Pilsen one application.

Times Higher Education ranks Charles University as a whole, not its faculties: 451–500 in its World University Rankings 2027, and 301–400 in its Medical and Health table (the 2026 edition, the latest). The same diploma title, MUDr., is awarded by all five faculties.
