Choosing a course Students select their course based on the subject they wish to study at university in the Czech Republic. An integral part of the teaching is therefore formed not only by intensive Czech studies but also specialist subjects based on the student's future field of study. For example, those interested in Economics will most likely take a university entrance exam consisting of mathematics and English; future medics will be competing in the field of science during the admission process. In order for the tuition to be of the highest quality and to ensure that specialist subjects are taught by experts in each field, each centre focuses on specific disciplines. Further important information to take into account is the level at which candidates wish to continue their university study in the Czech Republic. Other skills and knowledge must of course also be demonstrated by future Bachelor's, Master's or even doctoral students during the admissions process. The fields of study can be broken down using the following key: Economics subjects – Prague-Hostivar, Poděbrady Technical subjects – Prague-Hostivař, Poděbrady, Liberec Humanities subjects – Prague-Krystal, Poděbrady Science subjects – Mariánské Lázně Artistic subjects and architecture – Prague-Krystal Czech Language for Foreigners - Prague-Albertov Course organization The preparatory course is divided into two semesters. The winter semester begins in September with a two-week intensive course of Czech. The lessons are assigned to students according to the date of their arrival. Following these two weeks, students are split into classes according to their specialization. Czech language classes naturally take up the greatest number of lesson hours; the other subjects correspond to the type of field to be studied. The winter semester ends approximately mid-January. In some of the courses the students only earn credits. The major subjects, however, in addition require taking mid-term/semester exams. The summer semester starts in February and lasts till the end of May. The requirements for the successful completion of the study programme are similar to those of the winter semester. Those students who successfully complete the programme will receive a certificate. Study conditions The Study Centres try to create the best possible conditions for study and to secure all the necessary equipment. Special textbooks are published to meet students' needs. These take into account the fact that he/she has a beginner's level of Czech. Computer rooms are available. Students may also go to local libraries. Student housing is available in nearby dormitories. How many ILPS CU students are succesful at entrance exams to state universities?

Why is it important if I speak Russian? As we have a large number of students from the former Soviet Union, we have created come courses specially for Russian native speakers, who will learn Czech in a different way and at a different rate than, for example, students from Asia or Africa. This is why some of our courses are only available to students who speak Russian at native speaker level. Courses for non-Russian speakers are open to all. |
