Short answer: admission to Lékařská fakulta Ostravské univerzity
The Medical Faculty of the University of Ostrava is an important option outside Charles University, especially for students who want modern practical medicine, an electronic exam format, and a strong simulation base. In the 2026/2027 cycle, admission to the Czech general medicine programme was through a written electronic test in biology, chemistry, and physics.

How admission works
- Ostrava uses an electronic test, usually on computers in the faculty or university premises. For a student, this means getting used to a digital format: reading from the screen, marking answers, and managing time without the paper habit.
- The 30/30/30 format makes the exam similar to classic faculties, but the minimum of 30 points sets a lower threshold that must be passed confidently in practice tests.
- The faculty does not hold an oral part for the Czech general medicine programme, so all competitive strength is concentrated in the written test and documents.
- Ostrava is strong in practical infrastructure: the faculty has a simulační centrum / cvičná nemocnice SIMLEK. This matters for how the faculty is positioned in the article: not just a “backup option,” but a modern practical environment.
- There are bonus points in case of a tie: language certificates B2/C1 in world languages, mathematics, Olympiads and SOČ can play a role, but the maximum is limited and does not replace the test.
How to prepare
- Train the subjects in an electronic test format and do some practice tests on a computer.
- Keep your result above the minimum not “on average,” but consistently: several practice tests in a row should be safely above 30 points.
- Prepare all three subjects evenly, because the 90 points are made up of three equally important blocks.
- Do not forget the medical certificate of způsobilost ke studiu and the deadlines for uploading documents in e-přihláška.
- If the student is aiming for bonus points, prepare the proof in advance, but do not build the main strategy on them.
Who the faculty is suitable for
- The student wants to consider not only Charles University, but also strong regional faculties.
- Suitable for those who are comfortable taking computer-based tests.
- Interested in practical and simulation-based medicine.
- Needs a clear written format without an interview.
Risks for an international applicant
- The electronic format can lower the score if the student is used only to paper tests.
- Ostrava should not be treated as a late “backup” choice: documents and medical potvrzení have their own deadlines.
- The 30-point minimum means weak preparation will not pass even if places are available.
- If the student is abroad, it is necessary to check the format of education recognition and the method of document delivery in advance.
