Hi everyone, this is actually my first time using Reddit, so sorry if I’m doing something wrong or posting in the wrong place.

I recently started looking into studying medicine in the Czech Republic, especially at Charles University, and I wanted to ask for some guidance from people who have experience with this.

My situation is:

I finished high school in 2025 (non-European system)
I have czech/EU citizenship.
I’m thinking about taking some time (maybe a year) to properly learn Czech before applying
My goal is to study General Medicine

I don’t really know anyone who has gone through this process, so I’m trying to understand how things actually work beyond the official information.

I would really appreciate advice specifically from people who were in a similar situation (expats or people who studied abroad and then applied to Czech medical schools), especially about:

The exact step-by-step process you followed to get accepted (from finishing high school to enrollment)
How you prepared for the entrance exam.
What you would say is absolutely essential to do right if someone wants to successfully get in and not waste time or make mistakes

Any help or guidance would mean a lot. Thanks for your patience 🙏
