How admission works

Admission is decided by each faculty: an entrance exam (often the Scio National Comparative Exams or the faculty's own test), and for some programmes admission based on secondary-school results; there are no published cutoff scores. A foreign secondary-school diploma must be recognised in Czechia (nostrification), except for countries that have a recognition agreement with Czechia. Czech-taught programmes require Czech, usually at B2 level.

• Selection: entrance exam
• Main exam or platform: Přijímací zkouška
• Language certificate most often required: Čeština B2

Tuition fees in Czechia

At public universities an EU student typically pays no tuition fee, and a student from outside the EU no tuition fee. All amounts are per year in euros; fees charged per credit or per semester are converted to a full year (60 ECTS credits or two semesters).

Where the fee depends on family income, the typical figure is the full fee and the range starts at the lowest one.

Good to know about fees

• Czech-taught programmes at public universities are free for everyone, regardless of citizenship. Programmes taught in a foreign language and all programmes at private universities are paid; the fee is set by each university (sometimes by faculty and citizenship).

Language of instruction
