Charles University has a long tradition of being the knowledge hub of Central Europe. We are the oldest and the biggest university in Czechia, spanning 3 different cities. Do you want to study with us but are unsure how our admission process works, or do you just need to get oriented on what studying at Charles University looks like? You are in the right place!

First, you need to decide in which language you wish to study. Our programmes in English, German, Russian, or French are all with accessible tuition fees. Those in Czech are completely tuition-free. However, bear in mind that international applicants have to meet the same admission requirements as Czech students and, additionally, some may be required to demonstrate their Czech language proficiency.

If you want to study in English or other foreign language, in this admission section, you will find essential information, from the application process and visa information to everything you need to know about student life (living expenses, accommodation, how to get a buddy...).

In case you're still wondering why our university is the perfect place for your studies, start by exploring our Study Charles page to discover more about Charles University and all the study programmes and opportunities we offer to international students. Just in our degree programmes in English, we have more than 5,000 students from 140 countries. Thousands of other international students have chosen to study in the Czech language, which is free of charge.
