The First Faculty of Medicine is Charles University's historic Prague medical faculty and currently lists two English-taught undergraduate routes for international applicants: General Medicine and Dentistry. Both use the same 2026/2027 admissions framework, but the programme outcomes and later clinical focus are different.

LF1 is a good fit for applicants who want a large central-Prague medical faculty, a broad clinical network and access to Medicine or Dentistry under one Charles University faculty. The official faculty pages highlight long-standing English-taught medical education, simulation training and a large teaching-hospital base across Prague.

Best fit

Students who want a central Prague Charles faculty with both Medicine and Dentistry routes, a large clinical base and an entrance process that tests science knowledge plus communication through MMI.

Watch out for

LF1's final admission decision depends only on the MMI round after the written test. Passing Biology, Chemistry and General Science gets you to the interview stage, but it is not the final score.

English-taught programs at the First Faculty

Medicine and Dentistry share the same published 2026/2027 admission process and tuition fee, but students should compare the actual profession they are entering. Dentistry is a shorter, dental-practice-focused programme; Medicine is the broader six-year route to physician training.

Admissions overview

LF1 states that the 2026/2027 application period opens on 1 December 2025 and the application deadline is 30 April 2026 for both General Medicine and Dentistry. The application fee is EUR 285, and applicants can apply directly or through an official international representative.

Key 2026 dates

Applications open: 1 December 2025.
Application deadline: 30 April 2026.
Prague written entrance exam: 8 June 2026 at 9 a.m. or 1 p.m.
Additional Prague term: 25 June 2026 at 9 a.m.

Documents and applications

LF1 says applicants may apply for both Medicine and Dentistry, but each programme needs a separate application. After passing the entrance exam, applicants must submit proof of completed secondary education before enrolment.

The official admissions page says no English-language certificate or personal statement is required for 2026/2027. That does not make English unimportant: the written exam and MMI are both conducted in English, so applicants still need strong scientific reading and spoken communication.

First Faculty entrance exam

LF1's 2026/2027 entrance exam has two rounds. Round 1 is a paper-based written MCQ test. Applicants who pass it continue to Round 2, an online Multiple Mini Interview. Only the MMI points determine the final admission decision.

Round 1

75 questions

25 Biology, 25 Chemistry and 25 General Science questions.

Timing

90 minutes

The written exam is paper-based, Single Best Answer and has no negative marking.

Round 2

5 MMI stations

Online Multiple Mini Interviews, with five 10-minute stations.

Final decision

100 MMI points

LF1 says written and oral points are not combined; final admission is based on the MMI round.

General Science is not a separate pure Physics test. LF1 describes it as interpreting data, reading graphs and writing down problems using mathematical equations. That makes timed reasoning practice important alongside Biology and Chemistry.

Tuition, fees and living costs

LF1 lists annual tuition for 2026/2027 at EUR 24,250 for both General Medicine and Dentistry. The application fee is EUR 285 per application, so applicants applying to both programmes should budget for two applications.

Prague costs vary mainly by housing. For planning, use roughly EUR 850-1,200 per month for accommodation, food, insurance, transport, deposits and everyday student costs, then adjust based on dormitory availability or private rent.

Recognition and clinical fit

LF1's official programme page describes General Medicine as a six-year route to the MUDr. degree and Dentistry as a five-year route to the MDDr. degree. Recognition after graduation still depends on the country where the graduate wants to work, so students should confirm licensing rules early.

Student life and clinical training in Prague

LF1 is based at Kateřinská 32 in Prague 2, close to the central Prague university and hospital environment. The faculty also highlights MEDSOC as a student organisation and says the International Office supports students in the English-taught Medicine and Dentistry programmes.

Large clinical base

LF1 says it has the most extensive clinical base among Czech medical faculties, with the General University Hospital as its largest teaching base and further teaching across Prague hospitals.

Simulation and dentistry practice

The faculty highlights a Centre for Medical Simulations, and its Dentistry page describes simulator classrooms and practical dental teaching for more advanced students.

How Medimentor helps

Medimentor helps LF1 applicants prepare for the exam areas that matter: Biology, Chemistry, graph/data reasoning, scientific English and the communication layer needed for the online MMI. Medicine and Dentistry applicants should both treat the MMI as a serious part of preparation, not just an interview afterthought.
