Ostrava, in north-eastern Czechia, has turned its industrial heritage into a centre of culture and education. With the University of Ostrava and a technical university, it offers students an economical option with very low living costs.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school and preparatory program options in Ostrava. Preparatory programs at the University of Ostrava and the Technical University of Ostrava are the most common options.
How long you study depends on your goal: 2-4 weeks for a short holiday course, 3-6 months for everyday communication, and usually 9-12 months for a university application. At most schools, courses can be extended week by week.
Fees vary from school to school: university language centres and private language schools can sit in different price ranges. Planning your course, accommodation and airport transfer together lowers the total cost. Ask NGGlobal for a quote with current prices and discounts.
Language schools accept students all year round. For short courses, booking 4-6 weeks ahead is usually enough. For programs requiring a national visa, plan your application 3-4 months ahead to allow for appointment waiting times.
Your visa type depends on the length of your course: a Schengen visa for up to 90 days, and a long-term student visa for university preparation programs. NGGlobal helps you prepare complete documents.
Working on a Schengen visa is prohibited. Language course students on a long-term visa need a permit to work, and options are limited, while students at Czech universities have wider work options.
