Course completion requirements
Last update: MUDr. Jan Pláteník, Ph.D. (12.01.2021)

The final examination on Medical Chemistry and Biochemistry consists of two parts: written and oral. At least 57% of obtainable points must be reached in the written test in order to proceed to the oral part of the final examination. This requirement shall not be applied in case of the third exam attempt. Students who pass the written test but fail in the oral part will not write the test again in the subsequent exam attempts. If a student fails to answer a partial question at the exam, it is sufficient as a cause for termination of examination and classification of the whole exam as ‘failed’.    

A student can take an examination in a subject for three times as a maximum, i.e. the student is entitled to two re-examinations, and no extraordinary terms beyond that are allowed. In case of the second re-examination in a mandatory or elective subject the student is examined by a committee consisting of at least two examiners. If the internal faculty regulations (Article 19, Paragraph 2), permit repeated registration for the subject, the examination by the committee shall be applied only to the second re-examination in case of the repeatedly registered subject. By this a right of the faculty to enable examination by the committee in other cases, if implied by the internal regulations (Article 19, Paragraph 2), is not affected.

The credit requirements and further information on the examinations can be found in the announcements on the website of biochemical institute that provides the classes in the given academic year.
