During your studies, you will complete a total of 46 weeks of nursing and professional practical placement. You can carry out your placement, for example, in antenatal clinics, gynaecological outpatient clinics, inpatient gynaecological and obstetric care facilities (standard nursing units, intensive care units, delivery rooms or operating theatres) and other selected workplaces.
Applications should only be submitted electronically via the e-application application. The admission fee is CZK 650,- and must be paid no later than the application deadline of the given round (if you do not enrol, the fee will not be refunded). Further payment instructions (account number, variable symbol) can be found in the electronic application. The fee must be paid again for each round of admissions.
