Transfer from Masaryk University, Faculty of Medicine: Where to Continue Medicine or Dentistry in 2026

What is Masaryk University, Faculty of Medicine, and what does it teach in English?

Masaryk University, in Czech Masarykova univerzita, was established by an act of 28 January 1919, and the Faculty of Medicine was one of its four founding faculties. The city is Brno. Two programmes run in English: General Medicine over six years and twelve semesters, leading to the MUDr. degree, and Dentistry over five years and ten semesters.

The faculty campus is in Bohunice and includes a simulation centre. Clinical teaching is tied to the university hospitals in the city. You can read our own profile of the location on the Masaryk University, Faculty of Medicine page, which lists programmes, duration and language of instruction side by side.

Can you transfer from Masaryk University, Faculty of Medicine, to another university?

Yes. Students enrolled in the English-taught programmes at Masaryk University, Faculty of Medicine, in Brno, Czech Republic, can continue their medical or dental studies at another university abroad, and Medschool Experts organises that move. We are the leading specialist for study transfers in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and veterinary medicine.

What you have already passed travels with you. It does not travel automatically, and it does not travel identically to every faculty — which is why we compare your record against the partner network rather than against a published rule. We do not print requirement lists here, because they differ by faculty and are rewritten every year. Send us your profile instead. We tell you at which university, in which country, we can place you.

Why do students transfer from Masaryk University, Faculty of Medicine?

Students of Masaryk University, Faculty of Medicine, in Brno, Czech Republic, transfer for five reasons that come up again and again in our consultations. All five are questions of fit and planning. None of them is a judgement on the teaching in Brno, which is long-established and well regarded.

• Cost. Tuition for General Medicine is 380,000 CZK per academic year in 2026/2027, about €15,600, and for Dentistry 400,000 CZK, about €16,400. Over six years, with housing on top, that is a large commitment. Some families reach a point where a more affordable university simply makes the degree finishable.
• One exam that will not fall. A single subject can hold up a whole academic year. Moving to a faculty whose examination format and pace suit you better is a practical answer, and we are specialists in exactly this situation.
• Personal or organisational circumstances. A difficulty with an individual professor, a health matter, a family obligation at home. Any of these can make continuing in one place unworkable.
• A career in the United States. Students aiming at the USMLE, US clinical rotations and a US residency often move to a university built around that path.
• A career in Germany. Some universities prepare particularly well for it, including through a final practical year spent at a German teaching hospital.

Where can Masaryk University students transfer to?

Students leaving Masaryk University, Faculty of Medicine, in Brno, Czech Republic, are matched to a destination by their goal rather than by a ranking. The table below shows the routes we use most often in 2026. Because Masaryk teaches both medicine and dentistry, we always check that the receiving faculty teaches your subject before proposing it. That check comes first.

How much can a Masaryk University student save by transferring?

Tuition at Masaryk University, Faculty of Medicine, in Brno, Czech Republic, is 380,000 CZK per academic year for General Medicine in 2026/2027, about €15,600 at the European Central Bank rate of 15 September 2026. Tuition at the Faculty of Medicine Foča, Bosnia and Herzegovina, is €3,500 per year (2026). The gap is roughly €12,100 every year.

Take a student who has finished two years of General Medicine and continues in the third. Four academic years of tuition remain. At Brno prices that is about €62,400; at Foča it is €14,000. The difference is close to €48,400 in tuition alone, before housing enters the calculation. Living costs move in the same direction: Foča comes to roughly €7,500 per year for tuition and living together (2026).

Our own fee is success-based. Other destinations sit at other price points, and the cheapest is not automatically the right one — a student aiming at a US residency should weigh the American route, not the lowest invoice. The wider Czech picture, including the other faculties in the country, is set out in our study transfer guide for the Czech Republic.

Which year can you enter after leaving Masaryk University?

There is no fixed ceiling. Students transferring from Masaryk University, Faculty of Medicine, in Brno, Czech Republic, are assessed individually, and we frequently achieve high placements — often year four or year five. The aim in every case is the highest possible entry with no loss of time, or as little as the record allows.

Keep every semester certificate and grade report. They are the documents the assessment rests on, and they are awkward to obtain after the fact.

How does a transfer from Masaryk University work with Medschool Experts?

A transfer from Masaryk University, Faculty of Medicine, in Brno, Czech Republic, runs in four steps with Medschool Experts. It starts with a free consultation and ends with a confirmed place at a partner university. You stay enrolled in Brno the whole way through, until the new place is certain.

1. Free consultation. We talk through what you have studied, what you have passed, and which countries you would consider. Nothing about it commits you.
2. Record review. We read your transcript against our partner universities and work out where the highest entry is realistic.
3. Placement offer. You get concrete answers: which university, in which country, in which year, at what cost.
4. Switch with a plan. We handle the formalities and the move. You give up your place in Brno only once the new one is confirmed.

What that looks like from the student’s side is set out in our services and in our student stories.

What does recognition look like for Masaryk graduates, and what changes if you move?

The Czech Republic is a member state of the European Union, so a completed degree from Masaryk University, Faculty of Medicine, in Brno falls under Directive 2005/36/EC and is recognised automatically across the EU, the EEA and Switzerland. That is the position for a finished degree. A transfer does not change the directive; it changes which university issues the diploma.

So the recognition question becomes a question about the destination. If an EU diploma matters to you, we look at EU partner universities and the same directive applies. If your target is the United States, the relevant path runs through the USMLE and US clinical training, and a university built for that is the better fit — Mostar School of Medicine prepares for Step 1 and Step 2 CK in small groups, with 30 places a year. If your target is Germany, the practical final year can be done at a German teaching hospital from Varna or from Foča.

Whichever direction you choose, confirm the requirements with the competent authority of the country where you intend to work, and ask them in writing. Rules and processing times differ by country. We tell you what our partner universities deliver. The authority tells you what it wants.

When should Masaryk University students start planning a transfer?

Earlier than most people do. Students of Masaryk University, Faculty of Medicine, in Brno, Czech Republic, who contact us while still enrolled and before a resit goes wrong keep more options open than students who write after a lost academic year. Being enrolled is the stronger starting position, and places at partner universities are limited.

Practically, that means getting in touch when the doubt first becomes concrete — when the budget projection stops working, when a subject has beaten you twice, when your career plan has clearly shifted towards the United States or Germany. A document review takes a few days and costs nothing. It ends with a straight answer about where we can place you and how far along.

There is no deadline on this page, because the real answer is your own timeline. Book a free consultation and we will look at your record.
