    Details

    The faculty page is still written for September 2026 enrolment and has not rolled over. The opening day was 1 November in the 2026 cycle, so 1 November 2026 is the expectation, not a published fact.

    Palacky University Olomouc, General Medicine in English - outer application deadline
    Hard deadline
    Details

    This is the outer boundary, not the deadline you work to. The faculty states twice that a complete application, documents uploaded and fee paid, is due "two weeks before the selected entrance exam at the latest". Since the 2027 examination dates are not published, the operative deadline cannot be calculated yet. The application fee is 80 EUR and is not refundable.

What it asks of IB students

UP's guide for foreign applicants treats the IB Diploma as a Czech school-leaving certificate: send a certified copy, with no recognition fee. Each faculty runs its own selection.

Where it says so

Where it says so

Worth knowing

Medicine and Dentistry: EU citizens can also take the late-August exam dates that other applicants cannot, but you get one attempt a year.

All 3 notes
  • Medicine and Dentistry: EU citizens can also take the late-August exam dates that other applicants cannot, but you get one attempt a year.
  • Medicine, Dentistry and Physiotherapy close applications two weeks before the exam date you pick, so choose the date first.
  • Some faculty pages still ask for nostrification; UP's foreign-applicant guide says an IB Diploma needs none, so send a certified copy.
