Basic academic disciplines

Our curricula in general medicine or dental medicine last 6 years and are finished with the degree MUDr. - "Medicinae Universae Doctor" (M.D.)/ Doctor of General Medicine. The degree is recognised in most countries for a limited registration, but the student should ask the authorities or professional bodies in his/her country for information about the conditions for a full registration and recognition of the degree required to practice medicine in his/her country.


About Charles University and the 1st Faculty of Medicine



The First Faculty of Medicine has been a part of Charles University in Prague since its foundation, in 1348, by the Bohemian King and Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire Charles the Fourth.

In the Middle Ages, the language of teaching at Charles University was Latin, later, during the Austrian Monarchy, it was German, and since 1833 the students have been taught in Czech. In 1992 teaching of medicine in English has been opened as a programme parallel to the Czech-taught courses.

The academic staff participates in research projects at national and international levels, e.g.: TEMPUS-PHARE, ERASMUS-SOCRATES and CEEPUS. 129 members of academic staff are members of editorial boards of domestic scientific journals and 103 members of the staff are members of editorial boards of international journals. In average over 30 members of academic staff obtain awards of the Ministry of Health and Czech Medical Society for their scientific work a year.

The Faculty has both scientific and educational connections with many medical faculties and research institutions throughout Europe and overseas, such as University of Bern, University of Frankfurt, University of Birmingham (UK), University of Birmingham (USA), Harvard Medical School (USA), Columbia University (New York), University of Uppsala, University of Coimbra, University of Padua, University of Helsinki, University of Oslo, University of Munich, University of Utrecht, European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg.

The 1st Faculty of Medicine has its own Central Faculty Library, which belongs to the Institute of Scientific Information of the Faculty. The Library contains almost half a million volumes of scientific literature and 350 scientific periodicals, including 237 foreign periodicals.
The Faculty has its own LAN network, which is connected with the Prague Academic and Scientific Network and via this network the Faculty is connected to the main scientific and research network in Czech Republic (TEN - 34 CZ). This enables all users the access to the international information space (Internet and other webs to databases like Current Contents Databases and Medline Databases).
