Olomouc, in the Moravia region, is a historic university city known for its UNESCO-listed Holy Trinity Column, baroque squares and Palacky University, founded in 1573. Calm and student-focused, it is ideal for concentrating on language study.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school and preparatory program options in Olomouc. Palacky University's preparatory programs are the most common option.
In Olomouc you can book courses of as little as one week. On an intensive program, one language level usually takes 6-8 weeks. A complete beginner typically needs 6-12 months to reach the B2-C1 level required for university.
The biggest factor in the price is the length of your booking: the weekly fee drops noticeably for bookings of 12 weeks or more. Winter is usually cheaper than the summer months. NGGlobal students can take advantage of the schools' seasonal discounts and offers.
At most language schools courses start every Monday, though complete beginner courses may have set start dates. For long programs that require a visa, we recommend applying at least 3 months ahead. Summer is the busiest period.
Short courses can be taken on a Schengen visa. Long-term student visa applications are made by appointment through Czech missions in Turkey, and processing can take a few months, so plan your application early.
Working in breach of visa rules can lead to your visa being cancelled. Czechia's relatively low living costs make it possible to study on a reasonable budget without working.
Student dormitories and shared flats in Olomouc are affordable.
Living costs in Olomouc are lower than in Czechia's big cities.
Trams and buses serve Olomouc, and the historic centre is easy to walk. Fast trains connect to Prague.
Olomouc has a temperate climate with continental influences: cold winters and mild summers.
You can fly direct from Istanbul to Prague (PRG) and take the train for about 2-2.5 hours, or travel from Vienna by road.
Because Czechia uses daylight saving time, the time difference changes with the season: from late March to late October Olomouc is 1 hour behind Turkey, and in winter it is 2 hours behind.
