CZECH LANGUAGE COURSES

• Preparatory courses for study in the Czech Language
  - The courses are aimed for foreigners interested in enrolling in the University of West Bohemia. Nowadays, we offer a preparatory course for study at the technical faculties of our University (Faculty of Applied Sciences, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering), and a preparatory course for study at the Faculty of Economics. In addition to an intensive language training in Czech, the course also encompasses subjects, which are specifically related to the chosen field of study.
• Intensive Czech language courses
  - The courses are intended for foreigners willing to achieve A2, B1, or B2 level in Czech. The courses can be taken by foreigners interested in enrolling in the UWB study programmes, for which a special preparatory course is not available, however, the courses are open for a broader audience.

SUMMER SCHOOLS (organized in July)

• International Summer Language School
  - You can choose whole day and/or afternoon courses (8 languages offered)
• Art Camp
  -  Come to spend a part of your summer in a creative and inspiring environment, discover or develop your talents, meet interesting Czech and foreign artists, and prepare for art university examinations.

International students can study at the UWB in Czech or English.

Study Programmes in the Czech language  (free study programmes)
Students who would like to study in the Czech language have the same conditions as Czech students and are not required to pay the tuition fee (does not apply for students who already graduated from the Czech university!).

Study Programmes in a foreign language (English, paid programs).

STUDENT MODE
Student mode is a concept for facilitating the visa procedure for a specific group of students from third countries.

On 22 May 2017, the Government of the Czech Republic approved the project "Student Mode". The aim of the Student Mode is to facilitate the visa/stay process for selected students-foreigners who are admitted to study at Universities in the Czech Republic and at the same time they are enrolled in the Student Mode.

 Realization of Student Mode

• The university selects the students and submits the application in electronic form to the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports.
• When a student is enrolled in the Mode, the relevant Embassy contacts the student and sets the date for submission of the application.
• If a student does not attend or apply for a long-term visa for a study that does not meet the eligibility requirements, he / she will not receive a substitute term but will have to apply again for inclusion at the Mode.
• In the case of an incomplete application for a long-term visa for the study purposes, this application will not be accepted on grounds of inadmissibility.
• In the case, the student will submit an incomplete application for a long-term residence permit for study purposes, the applicant will be asked to add missing data/documents.
