What a first year actually costs

Tuition is rarely the number that decides anything. This is the whole first year, including the costs that usually surface late.

Not in the table above: Proof of funds of about CZK 124,500 is required for the long-stay visa. Non-EU students cannot use Czech public health insurance and must buy commercial cover meeting Ministry of Interior standards — CZK 7,000-13,000 a year; basic travel insurance is routinely rejected. The job-seeker permit after graduation costs a further CZK 2,500.

Czech Technical University in Prague publishes this fee as CZK 132,000 a year. The dollar figures above are converted, so treat them as approximate and quote the published amount when you apply.

After you graduate

Graduates of this program are eligible for 9-mo job-seeker residence permit in Czechia. Work rights are set by government policy rather than the university, and they change — check the current rules before you rely on them.

What the headline leaves outTHE PROGRAMME MUST BE ACCREDITED by the Czech Ministry of Education — this is the thing to check before accepting an offer. An accredited degree at a public university gives free access to the labour market, meaning you can work without a separate work permit both DURING and after your studies, and it is what makes you eligible for the job-seeker permit at all. A non-accredited programme gives neither. The permit itself runs nine months and is NON-RENEWABLE, and you must apply before your current permit expires, not after. Czech Technical University is a public accredited institution, so its programmes qualify.
