About Charles University

Charles University, the first university established in Central Europe, was founded by Charles IV, the Czech King, and Roman Emperor, in 1348. From the very beginning, Charles University was characterized as a “studium generale“ and the King awarded it all the privileges enjoyed by the other old universities. At present Charles University has seventeen faculties altogether, out of which fourteen are seated in Prague while the other three are located in important Czech towns of Hradec Králové and Plzeň.

Faculty of Pharmacy

The Faculty of Pharmacy, with its seat in the town of Hradec Králové, was established by a government decree in 1969. This Faculty of Pharmacy has continued in the old and long-time tradition of the education of pharmacy at Charles University.

Pharmacy is a medical branch, which is focused on the research, production, control, supply, and dispensing of medicines and drugs. It also deals with information about drugs and pharmaceutical functions, organizations, the management of pharmaceutical functions within the health service system (social pharmacy), and the historical development of the branch.
