• High-school leaving certificate

  • Original or verified copy

  • Translated to Czech or English

  • Authenticated with an Apostille or Superlegalisation - find the country of your high-school on this list to make sure what kind of authentication you need.

Third Faculty of Medicine, Charles University - study division,

Ruská 87,

100 00 Prague 10

Czech republic

Nostrification fee payment details: 870,-CZK (or equivalent amount in different currency) must be made by card via the on-line application form in the “Proof of education” section, after requesting the nostrification.

The deadline to submit the documents is July 15th 2022. If you will not have the certificate completed by that date, it is possible to postpone, but be aware, that before you submit the documents, we cannot issue the official Letter of Admission for you, which is usually required for a visa purposes.

Before arrival

• 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 Third 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.

• Accommodation

You can arrange private accommodation or get accommodated at the university dorms. If you are interested in accommodation at the university dormitories, the study division helps freshmen to arrange it. In this case make sure to save yourself a spot at the dorms and fill out this accommodation request asap. For more details you can visit the dorm website here.
