University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice - Faculty of Health and Social Sciences
The need for a university-educated paramedic profession is currently high and the demands on the quality of erudite personnel in this profession are increasing. According to Act No. 374/2011 Coll. on the Medical Rescue Service, there are two types of call-out groups, an ambulance crew without a doctor and an ambulance crew with a doctor. The massive development in the field of the organisation of pre-hospital emergency care in recent years has clearly led to a steady increase in the importance of ambulance crews without a doctor. The requirements for higher qualifications of paramedics increase their usefulness in both teams of the above-mentioned medical crews, which significantly contributes to the quality of care provided. You will be able to provide specific nursing care in emergency care, acute admission and wherever the sick and injured are in immediate danger of death. Graduates will be licensed to practice the health care profession without professional supervision.
New students are admitted once a year, and entrance exams for the following academic year are usually held in June. 1) Submission of an electronic application via the STAG system. 2) Payment of the admission procedure fee. 3) Submission of the required documents (e.g. medical certificate, secondary school leaving certificate, diploma depending on the type of study). 4) Completion of the entrance examination, if required for the given study programme. 5) Evaluation of the admission procedure and publication of results. 6) The possibility to file an appeal against a rejection decision within the specified deadline.
