Graduation Ceremony dates:
In the Academic year 2023/2024 the Graduation dates are set on 26th July 2024 for General Medicine study programm and on 18th September 2024 for Dentistry study program.
Those students of General Medicine who do not have time to take the last State Exam by June 15, 2024 at the latest, or the capacity of the July ceremony date is already full, will have the opportunity to participate in the graduation on 18th September 2024.

On the confirmation there will be written when the Record will be prepared for you. On this date you will go to any post office (Czech Point) in the Czech Republic, show to the official the above mentioned confirmation and your passport or ID card and the Criminal Record will be given to you.

When received the diploma
Step 1
Note that some countries require the verification on the original, some “only” on the verified copy, some countries may not even need it (EU) – you need to find out the requirements in a particular country where you want to practice medicine/dentistry.

Onto the notarised/verified copy get the stamps from particular Ministries – see further:
Make notary verified copies of your diploma. You can go to any notary office (notář)
In Prague centre there are plenty of notary offices on Národní třída, Na Příkopě, U Prašné brány, Dlouhá street, etc. for the official verification of the copies – at these places, you should be also able to get the originals copied.
