Why study in Czechia

Tuition, cities, programmes and the numbers behind them, in one place.

Why Study in Czechia?

Tuition-Free in Czech

Public universities charge zero tuition for programmes taught in Czech. Learn the language in a prep year and study for free.

Affordable Living

Rent, food, and transport cost a fraction of Western Europe. Students live well on €500 to €800 a month outside Prague.

EU Degrees

Czech universities award EU degrees that follow the Bologna system, which makes recognition across Europe easier. After graduating, you can apply to stay in Czechia to look for work; other countries have their own residence rules.

Heart of Europe

Fly to Berlin, Vienna, or Budapest in under 2 hours. Weekend trips across Europe become a normal part of student life.

Who's behind this

Built by a student who has been through it

This started as a Facebook group answering the same questions over and over for Arabic-speaking students figuring out Czech universities. It has grown into a community of 11,000+ students, and this site is the next step: the same free, honest answers, just easier to find.
