The Faculty of Medicine in Pilsen is one of Charles University's medical faculties outside Prague. It offers two English-taught master's routes for international applicants: General Medicine and Dentistry. Both use the same 2026/2027 application window, tuition fee and written entrance-exam model.

Pilsen is a strong fit for applicants who want a Charles University medical degree in a smaller Czech student city with a modern campus, direct access to the University Hospital Pilsen environment and lower day-to-day costs than Prague. The faculty describes around 2,000 students, including about 500 international students, and its modern campus was completed between 2012 and 2022.

Best fit

Students comparing Charles University faculties who want Medicine or Dentistry in English, a compact campus in Pilsen and a direct science-based entrance exam across Biology, Chemistry and Physics.

Watch out for

Pilsen does not allow direct applicants to retake the entrance exam in the same academic year if they fail. Treat the 3 June 2026 faculty term as a real one-shot exam, unless applying through a cooperating agency with separate terms.

English-taught programs at the Faculty of Medicine in Pilsen

General Medicine is the six-year route to physician training. Dentistry is the five-year route to dental practice. The faculty lists the same annual tuition for both in 2026/2027, so the decision should be driven mostly by career direction, curriculum and clinical fit.

Prep focus

Core sciences

Physics matters here. Do not prepare only Biology and Chemistry for Pilsen.

This is different from some other Czech faculties that use interviews or broader reasoning sections. For Pilsen, the safest preparation plan is a timed MCQ routine across all three sciences, plus careful review of the official syllabus and sample tests.

Tuition, fees and living costs

The official Pilsen admissions page lists annual tuition for 2026/2027 at CZK 390,000 for both General Medicine and Dentistry. It also lists a separate CZK 990 assessment fee for high-school document assessment after a successful entrance exam, where requested.

For living costs, Pilsen is usually easier to budget than Prague. Use roughly EUR 650-900 per month as a planning range for housing, food, transport, insurance and everyday costs, then adjust for dormitory availability or private rent.

Recognition and academic fit

The faculty lists Medicine as a 6-year full-time MUDr. programme and Dentistry as a 5-year full-time MDDr. programme. The official course page says theoretical and pre-clinical years are organised into winter and summer semesters, while clinical courses are organised in a block system.

Student life and clinical training in Pilsen

Pilsen offers a smaller-city version of the Charles University medical route. The faculty's Lochotín campus sits near the University Hospital Pilsen and includes modern lecture halls, seminar rooms, a canteen, cafeteria and a Simulation Center where students practise interventions on mannequins and simulators.

Modern campus

The faculty says the campus expansion was completed between 2012 and 2022, bringing theoretical institutes, administrative facilities and the Biomedical Research Center into the Lochotín area.

International but compact

The official about page describes around 2,000 students, including about 500 international students. That gives Pilsen an international cohort without the same city scale as Prague.
