After successful admission to the faculty

Recognition of Your Education

Submit proof of your secondary education by the entrance exam date, or no later than enrolment (deadline: 31 August 2026). Depending on your country and qualification, you may need certified copies, authentication, translation, or additional documents. In many cases, no apostille or superlegalisation is required.

Before you arrive

Health insurance 

All international students are required to have health insurance to help cover unexpected medical expenses. While EU citizens' medical expenses are fully or partly covered by their domestic insurance, US and other citizens need individually to arrange student health insurance with local or other insurance companies. Having health insurance is also a prerequisite to get a visa.

Visa 

If you need a visa, please apply to a Czech Embassy or Consulate well in advance, i.e., three months prior to your departure. Your Letter of Admission from the Dean of the Second Faculty of Medicine, which you will obtain as a successful applicant, will allow you to get one for the initial period of your study in the Czech Republic.

Medical check-up

You must undergo a compulsory medical check-up, including Hepatitis B immunisation status. Best arranged with your GP at home before departure — testing and vaccination can take several weeks.

Accommodation

If you are interested in accommodation at the university student halls of residence, make sure that you don't apply too long after you’ve been admitted. We process all freshman applications at accommodation@lfmotol.cuni.cz; please state your planned date of arrival. Parents of underage students must submit a "power of attorney" with the accommodation application.  Note that arranging accommodation at the student halls is an excellent way to get your confirmation of residence in advance, which many students need to declare when applying for a visa.

Enrolment for new students

Enrolment is the process by which you become a student of the Second Faculty and after which you begin your studies. It takes place at the beginning of the new academic year (at the end of September or the beginning of October) at our Faculty. You will be notified about the exact date and place after you have passed your entrance exams; you can also follow the Academic Calendar page and student news.

On your arrival, you should go to the room indicated in the instructions you will receive. Please bring all the documents listed below so we can check your identity and evidence of qualifications as quickly as possible:

• A passport or another proof of identity  
• Medical check-up confirmation (if you have managed to have a check-up with your own GP at home, otherwise you can arrange this later at the faculty students’ GP)

During enrolment you will obtain a folder with:

• A guide to tuition fee payments (also on the tuition fee payment web page)
• The entire curriculum and the study plan for the first year of study
• The contracts to be signed by you and the Dean of the Second Faculty of Medicine
• Instructions about your ISIC or student card
• Any other necessary documents
