A bustling hive of culture and history, Brno (located in Czech Republic) possesses a charm unlike any other cities in Europe. It’s where the scientific mind of Gregor Mendel revolutionised the field of biology, and renowned composer Leoš Janáček produced timeless operatic masterpieces that are still widely performed today. With a mixture of theatres, sports centres, and cultural festivals, the modern Brno is a brilliant reflection of its eclectic past of art, industry, and science. It is a welcoming city characteristic for its safety and friendly atmosphere.
It’s little surprise then that Brno has become a university city that is home to over 80,000 local and international students. At the heart of this academic hub is Masaryk University, the second-largest university in Czech Republic, and one of the most prestigious and respected higher education institutions in Central Europe. Known primarily as a university for life sciences, the Faculty of Medicine at Masaryk enjoys an illustrious reputation globally for its English-language degree programmes in General Medicine and Dentistry.
Advanced training within cutting-edge facilities
A medical degree can be notoriously costly, which is why Masaryk is the perfect choice for international students to kick start their journey into healthcare. Getting an education at Masaryk is a value-for-money investment: English-language degrees at the Faculty of Medicine are very affordable, while the cost of living in Czech Republic is lower than the average cost in the European Union.
Graduates of Masaryk’s medical programme can work nearly anywhere, as the degree is fully-recognised in the US, European Union, and many other countries worldwide. The university offers pre-exam support to students taking the US Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE), including preparatory seminars and studying specialised publications from the university’s library. The USMLE exam content is already integrated into medical study programme’s curriculum, preparing students way ahead for a successful outcome. As a bonus, the university awards those who pass their regular exams with a scholarship that covers the USMLE fee.

When training future doctors, having state-of-the-art facilities for practical training makes a world of difference in a students’ overall educational experience. Masaryk University, Faculty of Medicine, truly delivers on this front — its ultra-modern campus is directly linked to the teaching hospital, where students’ learning is enhanced through hands-on experience.
The gem of the medical faculty, however, is the brand-new Simulation Centre (SIMU). One of the most advanced simulation centres in Central Europe, it arms students with all the tools they need to succeed in real-life practice. Here, mistakes are welcomed as part of the learning process, as training through simulations enables students to train in the most complex of surgical procedures without jeopardising the lives of patients.
