The University of Ostrava Faculty of Medicine offers one main English-taught route for international medical applicants: General Medicine. It is a six-year full-time programme leading to the MUDr. degree, with clinical training tied to Ostrava University Hospital and other healthcare facilities in the Moravian-Silesian Region.

Compared with Prague, Ostrava is usually easier on the student budget and less crowded. The tradeoff is that the university currently gives Medimentor applicants a narrower programme choice: Medicine only, not Dentistry or Pharmacy.

Best fit

Students who want a Czech Medicine route in a lower-cost city, with a clear online entrance exam and a modern regional clinical environment.

Watch out for

Physics is not optional at Ostrava. The published entrance test has 30 Biology, 30 Chemistry and 30 Physics questions, so a Biology/Chemistry-only plan is incomplete.
