Brno, Czechia's second-largest city, is a young, dynamic student city with Masaryk University and technology companies. Calmer and cheaper than Prague, it is also very close to Vienna.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school and preparatory program options in Brno. Preparatory programs at Masaryk University and Brno University of Technology are the most common options.
Short programs last 1-4 weeks, while long-term programs run from 12 weeks to a year. Language levels go from A1 to C2, and on an intensive course you should allow about two months per level.
Language school fees in Brno depend on course intensity, the type of school and the length of your booking. The weekly price falls for longer bookings, and extra discounts apply for early bookings and off-season dates. Applying through NGGlobal lets you compare the schools' current offers in one place.
Language schools do not require a diploma or any prior knowledge of the language. After you complete the enrolment form and pay the deposit, the school sends you a booking confirmation and, if needed, a letter of acceptance for your visa. Junior programs require parental consent.
June to August is the busiest time for both courses and accommodation, so booking early pays off. In autumn and winter, classes are quieter and prices are usually lower.
Turkish citizens apply for a Schengen visa for courses of up to 90 days. For long-term Czech courses that prepare you for university, you can apply for a long-term student visa; you will need the school's acceptance letter, proof of accommodation, health insurance and proof of funds.
Work opportunities during language study are limited, so we recommend planning your budget without relying on income from work. Part-time work options widen once you start university.
Student dormitories and shared flats are common in Brno, and rent is much lower than in Prague.
Living costs in Brno are below the Czech average, and student-friendly cafés and events ease the budget.
Brno's tram, trolleybus and bus network reaches the whole city, and students can use discounted passes.
Brno has a temperate climate with continental influences: cold winters and warm, sunny summers.
You can fly direct from Istanbul to Vienna (VIE) and reach Brno by bus or train in about 1.5-2 hours; the train from Prague takes about 2.5 hours.
Brno is 2 hours behind Turkey in winter and 1 hour behind during daylight saving time (late March to late October).
NGGlobal advisers give students planning a language course in Brno free support with comparing schools, getting price quotes, arranging accommodation and preparing visa documents.
Prague is bigger and more touristy, while Brno is calmer, cheaper and more student-focused.
About 1.5-2 hours by bus or train.
Czech-taught programs at Czech public universities are free for international students too, which is why Czech preparatory courses are so popular.
University preparation programs usually start in September or October, and because of the long-term visa process we recommend applying at least 4-6 months ahead.
You cannot work on a Schengen visa, and work on a long-term visa needs a permit and is limited.
