Medstudy students at partner university — VŠCHT Praha
This guide covers everything you need to know about applying to Czech universities: from first steps to enrollment. Real facts, current programs and advice from a team that has already prepared more than 800 students for admission to top Czech universities.
Czech belongs to the Slavic group and is closest to Slovak and Polish. For Russian- and Ukrainian-speaking students it is much more accessible than German or French — grammar is similar and most word roots are recognizable. Most reach B2 in 8–10 months with regular classes and immersion.
Prague is among the more affordable European capitals. Compared with Vienna, Berlin or Amsterdam, housing, transport and food are noticeably cheaper. An average student spends €500–700 per month including accommodation — roughly half of Germany or France.
A student visa in the Czech Republic allows work up to 20 hours per week. More than 50% of students start part-time jobs from year two. Average starting salary for a young graduate is about 35,000 CZK (€1,400) per month.
Prague is a European leader in public transport quality. Metro, trams and buses run around the clock. A student pass costs about €8 per month. From anywhere in the city to campus — 30–40 minutes at most.
Temperate continental climate — mild winters (rarely below −10°C), warm summers. Compared with Kazakhstan or Ukraine, winter is shorter and less harsh. Spring in Prague is a celebration of blooming gardens and chestnut trees.
You can arrange insurance through Medstudy. Without insurance you cannot extend your visa or see a doctor.
