Charles Uni: Faculty of Medicine in Pilsen Admissions Guide

Pilsen's fees for 2027/28 are the lowest of Charles University's five medical faculties. People searching for 'Charles University Pilsen MBBS fees' mean this programme: it is the six-year General Medicine degree that ends with the MUDr. title, the Czech equivalent of an MD, not a British-style MBBS.

The conditions are the same whether you apply with an agency or without: an electronic application by the deadline, the entrance examination, proof of secondary education with a school-leaving examination, and tuition paid. The entrance examination is a written test only, with no interview: 60 questions, 20 each in Biology, Chemistry and Physics, one correct answer, no penalty, and from 2027/28 at least 9 points in each subject as well as the total the dean sets from the number of places. The record asks for no English certificate, and the faculty runs no preparatory course for English-programme applicants.

After passing, send a notarised hard copy of your school-leaving certificate, legalised with an apostille or superlegalisation in the country that issued it, with an official translation into Czech or English if needed, by post or in person, by 31 August 2027: copies, PDFs and email are not accepted. At enrolment you also hand in a certificate of medical fitness to study and proof of vaccination against hepatitis B and measles.

Apply online between 1 November 2026 and 30 April 2027, and pay the application fee with the application.

The first two years are devoted to theoretical subjects such as Anatomy, Histology, Embryology, Biophysics, Biochemistry and Physiology. Years 3 and 4 bring the pre-clinical subjects, such as Pathological Anatomy, Pathological Physiology and Microbiology, and the clinical years follow, organised in blocks rather than semesters. Theoretical and pre-clinical subjects run in winter and summer semesters, each a teaching period followed by an examination period, and students are introduced to research and can spend time abroad, particularly in the summer holidays.

Clinical teaching is at the University Hospital Pilsen, on its Bory and Lochotín sites.

The faculty's Students page carries the academic year: 2026/27 runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, exams can also be taken from 1 July to 15 September 2027, and the Rector's and Dean's Day is 12 May 2027.

Rankings measure Charles University as a whole, not one faculty: QS and Times Higher Education both rank the university, and every one of its five medical faculties awards the same MUDr. degree. In THE's World University Rankings 2027 Charles University is in the 451–500 band, and in THE's Medical and Health table (the 2026 edition, the latest) in the 301–400 band. QS's tables could not be read, so their figures are not given here.

IvyTest publishes no testimonials. The faculty lists its student associations, among them IFMSA CZ Plzeň and the residence hall council, which organises events for students in the halls. r/CharlesPilsen is a Reddit community for Pilsen applicants and students, run by IvyTest; dates and rules come only from the faculty's own pages.
