Study Medicine in Prague

A key advantage is the faculty's close relationship with Motol University Hospital. Much of the clinical training takes place there, in both adult and paediatric departments. This connection is especially attractive to many students because it gives the programme a strong link to paediatrics.

The faculty offers an English-taught medical programme and is internationally oriented. You will study in an open, global environment with clear structures and a modern curriculum. At the same time, the faculty has remained deliberately compact, creating a more personal learning experience.

Overall, the Second Faculty of Medicine in Prague offers a compelling combination of clinical breadth, a paediatric focus, an international environment, and a more personal learning environment - ideal for a demanding medical degree with a strong practical and clinical focus.

The Plzeňská Campus has been deliberately expanded and modernised in recent years. Alongside the building for theoretical and pre-clinical subjects, the campus has grown in stages, with the latest phase opening in 2022. Today, the faculty has modern teaching spaces, new seminar rooms, a large auditorium, and additional facilities for subjects such as epidemiology, ethics, and languages.

The modern anatomy facilities at the Plzeňská Campus are equally important. The faculty has created a well-equipped Institute of Anatomy with new dissection rooms. This significantly improves the pre-clinical learning environment and gives you a solid practical foundation in the core medical sciences from the outset.

In the clinical phase, you benefit from the close connection to Motol University Hospital, one of Europe's largest and most modern hospitals. Most clinical teaching takes place there in adult and paediatric departments. This strong connection to paediatrics is a defining feature that makes the faculty stand out among Prague's medical schools.

For you, this means high-level education within a university that offers broad expertise and close connections between teaching, research, and clinical practice. This is particularly valuable in medicine, where education is continually developed and international standards play an important role.

Within Charles University, Prague's medical faculties each have their own profile. The Second Faculty of Medicine is especially known for its close relationship with Motol University Hospital, strong clinical focus, and particular connection to paediatrics. You will study at a clearly specialised faculty while remaining within the strong academic framework of Charles University.

Overall, Charles University combines tradition, academic quality, and an international outlook, while the Second Faculty of Medicine offers a distinct, practice-oriented learning environment within that framework.

For students at the Second Faculty of Medicine, it is especially helpful that university and hospital life are easy to combine in Prague. The extensive transport network provides reliable connections between the Plzeňská Campus and Motol University Hospital, making it easier to organise lectures, practical training, and free time.

The city's diversity is another plus. Beyond your studies, Prague offers a wide choice of cafes, parks, cultural venues, and student meeting places. You can easily find balance outside your coursework and build a community where you feel at home. Its scale and international atmosphere also create an energy that many students find highly motivating.

In Prague, you get both: a city where an intensive medical degree is easy to manage and a vibrant environment that offers much more beyond university. That combination makes Prague especially attractive to students at the Second Faculty of Medicine.
