First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University

[2] Situated in the centre of Prague, the faculty provides education in all fields of general medicine.

In 1882, as part of the division of the university during the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a separate German faculty was founded.

The two main study programmes at the faculty are General Medicine and Dentistry, taught either in English (paid) or Czech (free).

It has produced numerous notable alumni who have made significant contributions to medicine and other fields.

They have their offices in Faust House and are responsible for helping new students get used to the university life as well as organise extracurricular activities, including Freshers Week every September.

Furthermore numerous interest groups exist, such as a surgical society, which envisions the nurture of aspiring surgeons from all years by providing research opportunities, away clerkships and workshops.
