Description
Scholarships for citizens of developing countries to study at Czech public universities are a key element of the Czech Republic´s international development cooperation and have a long-standing tradition.
From the end of the 1950s to the present, more than 20,000 foreign nationals have graduated from Czech public universities thanks to a scholarship from the government of the Czech Republic.
As part of its international development cooperation, the Czech Republic offers scholarships to foreign nationals for the standard period of study in Bachelor, Master, follow-up Master and Doctoral study programmes. Places at public universities in the Czech Republic earmarked for government scholarship grantees are created by Czech government resolutions in a joint project run by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports (MEYS) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA).
The conditions and procedures for the granting of Czech government scholarships are regulated by the Instructions regarding the Scholarship Award Scheme of the Government of the Czech Republic and the corresponding MEYS scholarship programme.
The fulfilment of specific tasks concerning the study arrangements for scholarship grantees at public universities in compliance with the Instructions regarding the Scholarship Award Programme of the Government of the Czech Republic and the relevant MEYS scholarship programme is overseen by the Centre for International Services.
Eligibility
A sound knowledge of English is a prerequisite for the award of a Czech government scholarship to study a course taught in English.
Applicants´ knowledge of English is evidenced, if possible, by means of an internationally recognized certificate (e.g. TOEFL, IELTS or APIEL). All applicants are required to participate in a general entrance interview and test of English held at a Czech mission; scholarship candidates who have long-term residence in the Czech Republic at the time of their application take the interview and test at the MEYS Centre for International Services.
Duration
Standard length of study plus one-year preparatory course of the Czech language
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test. More information
