Your pathway to studying at VSB – Technical University of Ostrava in Czech
Would you like to study at VSB-TUO in a degree programme taught in Czech, but do not yet speak the language?
Many international students choose to spend several months or one academic year learning Czech before applying for a Bachelor's or Master's degree programme. This gives them time to develop the language skills needed for university study, become familiar with life in the Czech Republic, and prepare for their future studies.
Depending on the programme, a good command of Czech – typically around B2 level – is required to successfully study in Czech.

Why learn Czech?
Learning Czech can open the door to a wider range of study programmes and help you integrate more easily into university life and everyday life in the Czech Republic.
Studying in Czech also means that degree programmes at Czech public universities are generally tuition-free for students of all nationalities, provided the legal conditions for tuition-free study are met. Please note that Czech language courses themselves are subject to course fees.
