Prague, the capital of Czechia, is one of Europe's most beautiful cities, with the Charles Bridge, Gothic cathedrals and a fairy-tale old town. Home to long-established universities, led by Charles University, it is very popular with students thanks to living costs below those of Western Europe.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school and preparatory program options in Prague. Preparatory programs at institutions such as Charles University, the Czech Technical University and the Prague University of Economics and Business, as well as private language schools, 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.
Student dormitories are the cheapest option in Prague, and shared flats and private residences are also common. Rent in the centre is higher than in outer districts.
Living costs in Prague are well below those of Western European capitals, and public transport, food and cultural events suit a student budget.
Prague has an excellent public transport network of metro, trams and buses, and students can use discounted monthly and semester passes.
Prague has a temperate climate with continental influences: winters are cold and sometimes snowy, summers mild and sunny.
Direct flights from Istanbul to Prague Václav Havel Airport (PRG) take about 2.5 hours, and buses and the metro connect the airport to the centre.
When it is 12:00 in Turkey, it is 11:00 in Prague in summer and 10:00 in winter.

No. Preparatory and language courses start from beginner level, with a placement test on the first day.
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.
