Charles University was founded on April 7, 1348 by Charles IV, the Holy Roman Emperor and the King of Bohemia. It was located in Prague with four facultiesviz. Theology, Law,Medicine and Arts and was modeled on the University of Paris in France and achieved international renown within a very short time. Thus the Charles University is one of the oldest European universities and also the oldest in Central Europe, being in existence for over six and a half centuries as at to date.
Faculty of Medicine in was established in October, 1945 as the first of the new medical faculties of the Charles University, coming into existence immediately after the end of the war. Hradec Králové Faculty was initially setup as a part of the First Faculty of Medicine of the Charles University in Prague, – founded in 1348 itself – but swiftly transformed into a separate entity with Prague’s undaunted cooperation and assistance. It was a Military Medical Academy for a short time but reverted back to Charles University’s fore in September, 1958 and has been among the top Czech university Institutions ever since thereafter.
