How admission works
- Brno requires stamina: three separate subject tests with 40 questions each. This is not a short sprint, but a series of exam blocks where you cannot burn out after the first subject.
- The faculty publishes tématické okruhy, doporučená literatura, and modelové otázky. In preparation, use them as a guide, but do not limit yourself to memorizing them mechanically.
- Brno has a přijetí bez přijímací zkoušky system for some General Medicine applicants and bonifikace vybraných kompetencí. But for an international student, the main route usually remains the subject exam plus documents.
- Bonifikace may include C1+ language certificates in world languages, Olympiads, SOČ, AP/CERMAT, and other competencies, but it must be submitted on time and documented correctly.
- A major advantage of the faculty is the modern environment, campus, and simulační centrum. This matters for students who want practical medicine and an active university life.
How to prepare
- Prepare each subject as a separate 50-minute exam: biology, chemistry, and physics all need to be solid in terms of points.
- Take full simulations of all three tests back to back to train fatigue and switching between subjects.
- Use the official tématické okruhy and modelové otázky as a map of the requirements.
- Check whether it makes sense to apply for bonifikace, but do not build your main plan on it.
- At the same time, complete recognition of foreign education and Czech language requirements so that no document-related risk remains after passing the test.
Who the faculty is a good fit for
- The student wants strong medicine outside Prague and a modern university campus.
- It suits those who can handle a long exam day well.
- They are interested in practical infrastructure, simulation-based training, and a large student community.
- The student is ready for systematic preparation in three subjects without an oral interview.
Risks for an international applicant
- You cannot prepare only with short tests: the format requires endurance across three subject blocks.
- Physics is often the weak point because it also has 40 questions and 50 minutes.
- Bonifikace is useful only if the documents are prepared correctly and on time.
- Because Brno is so popular, you should not treat the faculty as a simple backup option.
