Application Deadlines for the Czech Republic

Q: Is studying in Czech taught in English widely available?

Yes — especially at master's level and for medicine at Charles University. Czech-language programs are free for those who learn Czech; English-taught programs carry tuition fees (typically €4,000–€15,000/year depending on the field).

Q: Do I need to speak Czech to live in Prague or Brno?

English is widely spoken in Prague, especially among younger people and in the university environment. For daily life outside university, basic Czech is helpful but not essential. Free Czech language courses are available to enrolled students.
