Your student card is the first requirement for proper functioning at the Faculty and University. After enrolment, you can pick up your card from any of the CU card service centres. Without such card, you will not be able to log into the Student Information System which means you will not be able to enrol into courses or exams.
If you are enrolling in your first year at our Faculty, our Student Administration office will be happy to help you with your accommodation reservation at one of your preferred dormitories. Contact us at study@fhs.cuni.cz and we will send you a reservation form based on which we will communicate on your behalf with the university Dormitories and Refectories during the booking process.
After your first year, the Faculty will no longer provide reservations for you and you should arrange your accommodation on your own. If you are already accommodated in dormitory and wish to stay there another year, do not forget to prolong your reservation contract in the dormitory office.
We suggest that you book accommodation as soon as possible, as student dormitories and apartments are usually in high demand in Prague. Therefore, we suggest making your reservation well in advance – ideally, several months before the start of your studies.
According to the rules of the Rectorate of Charles University students studying in a foreign language and selfpayers are not entitled for accommodation and social scholarship.Also, our Faculty does not provide any grants or other funding options that are intended to cover the tuition fees of foreign-language study programmes.
Nevertheless, there are other options for financing your studies - merit-based scholarship or financial funding by national governments and other non-state institutions ( Faculty Scholarships and Funding).
Merit-based scholarship - issued to the best 10% of students according to their results in each academic year and to their studying program. Students receive this scholarship after the end of each academic year automatically if they fall into the best 10% category ( Scholarship for Outstanding Academic Achievement).
Options of funding your studies can be found through national governments and other non-state institutions. The Czech Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sports (MEYS) offers scholarships to foreign students and researchers. You can find out more information about scholarships available on the MEYS website.
Tuition fees are to be paid each academic year. The tuition fee is generated by the Student Information System as soon as the student enrols in the next year of study. To see further details, see the "Study charges and petitions" section in the SIS.
Further information about tuition fee can be found here.
If you have any questions regarding tuition fees, please contact Mgr. Nikola Skladanová.
