Integration into one of the largest and most modern hospitals in Europe enables us to offer comprehensive training in all medical fields, enriched with expertise in specialised areas of paediatrics.
The theoretical courses are mainly taught in the new campus at Plzenska 311.

Second Faculty of Medicine, Charles University
Charles University, founded in 1348, is one of the oldest universities in Europe. The Faculty of Medicine has been part of Charles University since its foundation. The Second Faculty of Medicine became independent in 1953 as the Faculty of Paediatrics. Therefore, the focus is traditionally on developmental aspects of medicine and paediatric disciplines, however, we offer full training in both adult and paediatric medicine. The programme lasts six years and graduates are awarded the MD degree.

Accreditation by the Medical Board of California makes it easier for our graduates to work in the United States. The Second Faculty is one of the smaller faculties. The favourable faculty-to-student ratio of 1:2 (in the English-language programme) and an individual approach improve the quality of teaching. As an international student, you basically know all your colleagues, so you can count on friendliness and support within the group.
As a student of the Second Faculty, you can choose from a variety of study exchange programmes and internships abroad. You can spend a semester or the entire academic year at one of our partner universities in Europe and around the world; complete a practical internship in hospitals and medical institutes worldwide; or participate in humanitarian medical missions. - Pre-graduate students can also participate in our faculty's research, both in theoretical and clinical subjects (basic and applied research).
