Pre-Arrival Guidance
Even before you arrive on campus, the Department of International Relations is available to help you with pre-arrival preparations. We provide valuable information about visa application processes, housing options, pre-arrival information, and any other queries you may have.
UCT Prague prepared many useful guides that are designed to assist you in preparing for your arrival at our campus, offering essential information and resources to help you make the most of your academic journey:
Housing Handbook - a comprehensive guide about university dormitories; here, you will find everything you need to know about our dormitories, accommodation options and tips about living there.
Freshmen's Guide 2022 - 2023 will be updated soon; this guide is more suitable for full-time degree students; however, you can still find valuable information about studying at UCT Prague.
Czech Survival Guide - UCT Prague strive for an ever-increasing number of students and workers from abroad. For years we have come across funny, bizarre, and sad stories that stem from cultural misunderstandings or a simple lack of information. That is why the university put together a brochure to prevent these situations as much as possible. Please read on and find out what makes us Czechs slightly different from others, making your experience in the heart of Europe smoother.
The arrival guide for Exchange students - 2023 will be updated soon; the Department of International Relations prepared an easy guide for upcoming exchange students where they can read basic information about their arrival obligations and study tips.
Living in Prague website - still actively updated; here on this website, in the section Living in Prague, you can find essential information regarding public transportation, medical care and more.
International Student Orientation
Upon arrival, you will be warmly welcomed to our university through a comprehensive orientation program. This orientation week is specifically tailored to address the needs of international students, helping them familiarise themselves with the campus, local culture, academic expectations, and support services available.
For more information, please visit our webpage Arrival.
Language Support
For exchange interns who are non-native English speakers, we created a webpage about Czech language tips (which will be updated soon!) to enhance their language skills, academic communication and living in Prague experience overall.
Counselling Services
We recognise that moving to a new country and adapting to a different culture can be emotionally challenging. UCT Prague counselling services provide a confidential and supportive space for international students to discuss any concerns, homesickness, or personal issues they may be facing.
For more information, visit the Counseling and Career Center website of UCT Prague, where you can read more details about the support and assistance for students.
Psychological counselling is a safe place for anyone who needs free mental health help. If you are worried about problems that make it difficult for you to study, don't be afraid to contact us and find a suitable solution together with the psychologist. Whether you are in a crisis situation, dealing with long-distance family, personal problems or troubled by interpersonal relationships, we can find the right help for you.
UCT Prague aims to address any barriers arising from your disability that might restrict you in your studies. University provides diagnostics, counselling and other services to compensate for your disability without compromising the quality of your studies (compensatory aids, extra time in exams, a different form of exams, etc.). Counselling and Career Center work with faculties and individual teachers on support measures. If you are interested in these services, please register. All services are free of charge.
The positive social environment at UCT Prague
UCT Prague is dedicated, over the long term, to fostering a cultural, fair, and friendly social environment. UCT Prague rejects all forms of behaviour that violate human dignity, including discrimination, aggression, bullying, intimidation, sexual violence, or other forms of oppression.
UCT Prague fully supports positive relationships in the university environment, including respect for others and a collegial, open, and balanced way of acting and communicating. UCT Prague’s academic community and employees respect and adhere to the Code of Ethics. University now offers a consultation and notification service for discussing incidents you perceive as running against UCT Prague's ethical principles. Such incidents include, for example, misunderstandings between superiors and subordinates, co-workers, academic and non-academic employees, employees and/or students at any level of study; interpersonal conflicts; ambiguities in faculty policies and/or procedures; humiliating behaviour; unfair treatment; bullying; sexualised behaviour (and so on) in educational, creative, and other university-related activities.
⇒ SafeTalk application (anonymously, if you wish) can be found here.
ESN is a platform for international and domestic students to come together, exchange experiences, and build lasting friendships. ESN hosts social events, cultural gatherings, and outings to help you feel at home within our university community.
ESN organises various cultural adjustment programs and events to help international students adjust to the new cultural environment. These activities allow them to meet other students, engage with the local community, and explore the country's rich cultural diversity.
ESN also participates in the so-called Buddy programme for exchange students. A “BUDDY” is a primary contact person who provides information and guidance to you during your first weeks in the Czech Republic and, if the circumstances allow, during your stay. Our buddies are Czech students who usually have experience as exchange students abroad from the past. They will pick you up at the airport, show you the way to the dormitories and the university, and help you arrange your accommodation. They will help you get “started” and provide you “inside” information about student life in Prague, the UCT Prague university and Czech culture in general.

ESN is a platform for international and domestic students to come together, exchange experiences, and build lasting friendships. ESN hosts social events, cultural gatherings, and outings to help you feel at home within our university community.
ESN organises various cultural adjustment programs and events to help international students adjust to the new cultural environment. These activities allow them to meet other students, engage with the local community, and explore the country's rich cultural diversity.
ESN also participates in the so-called Buddy programme for exchange students. A “BUDDY” is a primary contact person who provides information and guidance to you during your first weeks in the Czech Republic and, if the circumstances allow, during your stay. Our buddies are Czech students who usually have experience as exchange students abroad from the past. They will pick you up at the airport, show you the way to the dormitories and the university, and help you arrange your accommodation. They will help you get “started” and provide you “inside” information about student life in Prague, the UCT Prague university and Czech culture in general.
