About us

MIMSA (Masaryk International Medical Students Association) was founded in 2007 and is a non-profit organisation run for students by students. International students who study on the General Medicine, Dentistry and Physiotherapy programmes are all introduced to MIMSA during their enrolment. Our main purpose is to create a bridge between students and Masaryk University, as well as other student organisations in the city.

We cater for approximately 650 students across the aforementioned degree programmes. We are proud to have excellent relations with our international Study Department, instructors in all teaching departments, doctors worldwide and with our own alumni.

We exist to provide the much-needed support for incoming students and aim to boost their physical, social and academic wellbeing. Our Orientation Week is designed to provide incoming students with a flavour of student life in Brno and to educate them in the subjects they will begin in their first semester. MIMSA is also passionate about giving back to the local community via charitable events. A local charity is chosen each year and events are organised during “Charity Week” to raise funds to donate.
