UCT Prague can only issue a Letter of Acceptance after signing Learning Agreement.
Information regarding the visa process can be found here:
long-term visa ⇒ you are staying more than 90 days in the Czech republic
Starting and finishing the traineeship
Once you are accepted for a traineeship, it is only possible to cancel the traineeship in exceptional cases (good reason should be provided, it has to be announced enough time in advance). This is because our laboratories are reserving the place for you (other applicants might be rejected, reservations for instruments are done, coworkers are registered for you etc.) which makes it very complicated for us to cancel the planned traineeships at the last minute.
Traineeships can start at any time during the academic year, based on the agreement between you and your UCT supervisor.
The trainees should visit the Department of International Relations after their arrival and before their departure (earliest 3 days before departure).
Before your arrival, send an e-mail to IR Department and set a meeting. During your visit to the IR Department, you will be asked to sign the documents above. Also, you will receive a login and password, so you can use wi-fi at UCT Prague and log into the university e-mail as well.
In order to be allowed to live in the Czech Republic for study purposes, Non-EU exchange trainees must apply for a short-term (Schengen) visa for study in the Czech Republic If they want to stay for less than 90 days. Applications must be submitted to the Czech Embassy or Consulate in the respective country. If you are unsure whether you need a visa to stay in the Czech Republic, please consult the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of your country or the embassy of the Czech Republic nearest to you.
IMPORTANT: Non-EU citizens who have residency in another EU state do not need to apply for a short-term visa because it is allowed to stay in the Czech Republic under 90 days.
The following is a step-by-step explanation of the visa process. Please make sure to follow provided information before you apply for a visa.
Who needs to apply for the visa?
Nationals living outside of the Schengen Area.*
National is a citizen of a state that is not in a visa-free regime/ have not a bilateral visa exemption agreement**
* List of Schengen countries: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland
Note:Other EU or EEAMemberStates, i.e. Bulgaria, Ireland, Cyprus, Romania and Great Britain, are not members of the Schengen area.
How long can I stay in the Czech republic with a short-term visa?
While gathering all the documents, you must remember that a short-term stay is a stay of a maximum of 90 days during any 180-day period, which means a period of 180 days immediately preceding each day of stay (note: the length of stay is calculated according to the entry and exit stamps entered into the relevant travel document at the border-crossing point).
Make sure your visa's validity refers to the period during which a visa, a legal document that allows a person to enter and stay in a specific country for a designated period, is considered valid and can be used for travel. The validity of a visa is determined by the dates specified on the visa sticker or in the visa approval documentation. For example, suppose a visa has a validity period of six months from January 1st to June 30th. In that case, it means that the visa holder can use that visa to enter the country at any time between January 1st and June 30th. Once the visa's validity period expires, the holder can no longer use it for entry.
It is important to note that the validity of a visa is distinct from the duration of stay allowed by the visa. The duration of stay specifies how long the visa holder is permitted to remain in the country after each entry. It is essential to adhere to both the visa's validity dates and the allowed duration of stay to avoid any immigration issues.
IMPORTANT: This is important to know when planning your internship, especially under the Erasmus programme! The minimum length of the Erasmus traineeship is 60 days, so plan your dates accordingly and ensure that you have enough period of your short-term stay in your passport. If not, your Erasmus traineeship will be invalid as before exceeding this max. permitted period, you must leave the Schengen Area. Third-country nationals are not allowed to enter again until they satisfy the stipulated conditions, i.e., they do not breach the rule of maximum duration of short-term stay (90/180).
Your stay is also governed by other requirements of the granted visa, such as:
number of entries (a visa for one, two or more entries),
territorial validity (a visa for the entire Schengen Area or a visa with a so-called limited territorial validity for selected Member States),
A visa granted by a Schengen country allows you to enter all the Schengen countries.
Applying for the visa appointment
The applicants must schedule the appointment as UCT Prague has no authority to process visa applications or approve visa appointments with the Czech Embassy in other countries. The International Relations Department UCT Prague usually advises students to apply for a visa appointment as soon as they receive an acceptance letter (or signed Learning Agreement).

As an international student in the Czech Republic, you must have health insurance coverage for the duration of your stay. The type of health insurance you need depends on your nationality and specific circumstances.
EU Countries: You can use your EHIC (European Health Insurance Card) if you are from an EU country. This entitles you to have free emergency healthcare here in Prague. We suggest you ask your health insurance company which covers medical care, and if necessary, to take out an additional policy in case of injury, serious illness, etc. More information is available here.
Non-EU Countries:Students from non-EU countries will submit proof of health/travel medical insurance as a part of their visa application to the respective Czech Embassy/Consulate. More information is available here.
Liability insurance provides coverage for any accidental damage or harm caused by the insured person to others or their property. A copy of your insurance will be requested by the Deparment of International Relations.
Medical History
We recommend that you fill the Medical History form before you arrive in the Czech Republic and have it with you in case you will need to visit the UCT Prague doctor during your study stay at UCT Prague.
Travel Arrangements
Book your flight tickets well in advance to secure the best deals and to ensure you arrive in time.
Cost of Living in Prague
The official currency of the Czech Republic is the Česká Koruna ( Czech Crown, CZK). We suggest familiarise yourself with the exchange rates and always check the current rate before you exchange money. The cost of living in Prague can vary based on personal lifestyle choices, but overall, it is considered more affordable compared to other major European cities.
Studying abroad in the Czech Republic can be a rewarding experience, but it is essential to manage your finances wisely to ensure a smooth and enjoyable stay. You can use this website to compare Prague prices with those in your hometown. For more information, please visit Cost of Living in Prague here. (will be updated soon)
Public Transportation
Prague has an extensive public transport network rated as one of Europe's best and most reliable. Thanks to public transport, you can reach even the most remote corners of the metropolis quickly and easily.
You can use the underground (metro), trams, buses or suburban trains, i.e. public transport (MHD) to travel around Prague. All traffic information, latest news, schedules and travel rules are on the ebsite of the Prague Public Transit(Dopravní podnik hlavního města Prahy – DPP).
On the Contact webpage, you will find information regarding the campus address of the Dejvice section, UCT Prague and how to get from the airport to the university in the dormitory.
Do not also forget...
Contact your Supervisor for your project.
If you have been accepted for project work under the supervision of one of UCT's professors, you are expected to contact them before you arrive. You will inform him/her about your arrival and arrange your first meeting. For more information, please visit the Course Catalogue webpage.
Learn about the Erasmus Student Network club
ESN UCT Prague is a student club run by students at UCT Prague. Its primary purpose is to care for international students who come to study at UCT Prague. Check their webpage for more information, including valuable tips on what you should do before arrival and also about student life in the Czech Republic: http://esnuct.cz/
Request a Buddy
You might be interested in having a "buddy" (i.e. student volunteer acting as a contact person). Buddies can help you get settled in your new hometown and assist you in several situations; for example, they can pick you up at the airport, accompany you to your residence, show you around the city, and more.
The Buddy Program is very popular among our international students, so please do not hesitate to apply for your "buddy" at least three weeks prior to your arrival.
Buddy is a volunteer programme organised by ESN; it is entirely free.
After being accepted for a traineeship at UCT Prague and signing Learning Agreement, you will receive an email about the final registration from the International Relations Department (usually 2-3 weeks before your arrival).
It is only possible to cancel the traineeship in exceptional cases (good reason should be provided, it has to be announced enough time in advance). This is because our laboratories are reserving the place for you (other applicants might be rejected, reservations for instruments are done, coworkers are registered for you etc.), which makes it very complicated for us to cancel the planned traineeships at the last minute.
Traineeships can start at any time during the academic year, based on the agreement between you and your UCT supervisor. The trainee must visit the Department of International Relations after their arrival. The visit after the arrival is to confirm their arrival and to activate the trainee's account.
Try to avoid coming for an internship in September and mid-October in case your only option for housing is dormitories. During this period, the dormitory has very limited capacity!
Before final registration with the IR department
Via email, the International Relations Department will send you information explaining how to get to UCT Prague and what is required from you. The department will also ask you to read the registration documents (the documents will be attached). You must read them since you will be asked to sign them once you arrive.
EMIL is a UCT university app specially developed for students. It has several features which will be helpful for you throughout the whole course of your studies.
Real-time notifications related to your studies (e.g. exam results, cancellation of classes...)
Menus in canteens
Contact details of professors and university staff

Arrival Obligation
When you arrive in the Czech Republic, you must familiarise yourself with the following obligations. Do not forget!
Foreign Police Reporting Duty
EU and Non-EU students Living in Residence Halls
Registration of your stay in the Czech Republic at the Czech Foreign Police is unnecessary if you stay in the Volha or Sázava residence halls; the residence halls will register on your behalf.
Students in Private Residences
If you are an EU student and will not live in Volha or Sázava, you must register at the Foreign Police office within 30 days of your arrival if your stay in the Czech Republic exceeds 30 days.
All non-EU students who do not live in Volha or Sázava must register at the Czech Foreign Police within three days of arrival.
Registration of European Health Insurance Card
Students from an EU country must register their national public health insurance (EHIC blue card) with a Czech health insurance company -VZP is recommended as the largest health care provider in the Czech Republic with the highest number of cooperating doctors. After showing the EHIC card or confirmation that substitutes the card, the health insurance company will immediately issue a registration document with a registration number from a Czech health insurance company. Later, if you need to see a doctor, take this document along with the EHIC card.
Students from Turkey need to take to the VZP office the paper they have from their Health insurance provider in Turkey and register it as well.
If you are under 26, you might qualify for a public transport student discount. The Department of International Relations may prepare the confirmation of your student status upon request.

As your study exchange program ends and you prepare to depart from UCT Prague, several necessary steps must be considered to wrap up your experience on a positive note.
Once your traineeship approaches the end, it is essential to notify the Department of International Relations and your supervisor about your planned departure date. This allows them to prepare any necessary paperwork or documentation related to your traineeship completion that your university requests.
Prolongation of stay
Extending your traineeship at UCT Prague involves a series of steps and careful planning to ensure you can continue your traineeship.
Start considering the possibility of extending your traineeship well in advance. Check the regulations and policies of your home university and UCT Prague to understand if the extension is possible and the requirements. For an extension of your stay, contact the Department of International Relations:incoming@vscht.cz and your supervisor.
Note: If your exchange involves obtaining a student visa, you also need to extend your visa long-term visa to cover the additional period. For more information, check our webpage about visa here. In the case of a short-term visa, the extension would not be possible!
Moving Out
Follow the procedures for checking out of the dormitory or apartment. Inform the dormitory or landlord of your intention to leave and learn any specific checkout procedures they provide, which may include submitting a notice in advance: for example, you are asked to announce your departure date to our dormitories and Department of International Relations one month in advance.
It is very important to make sure you clean and organise your living space and ensure you have returned any keys or access cards. Please check that you paid your rent or other housing-related bills as well. Also, If you paid a security deposit, inquire about the process for receiving it back. Ensure you follow the steps to ensure a timely return of your deposit.
If you are leaving before the end of your lease agreement, inform your landlord or dormitory as early as possible. They might have specific procedures for early termination. If you want to prolong your stay at dormitories, this must be discussed in advance with the Department of International Relations and the Residence Hall.
Tip: Before you leave, take photos of the cleaned and tidy living space as evidence of its condition. This can be useful in case there are disputes over cleanliness or damages.
Certificate of Attendance
The Certificate of Attendance is essential for trainees participating in the study mobility program. It officially confirms your participation in the program and confirms the exact day of your study stay at UCT Prague.
At most, three days before your departure, you can send us the Certificate of Attendance(i.e. Departure Confirmation), which you must present at your home university. If your university has its own form, please take the prefilled (!) form when you visit the Department of International Relations / send it via email to incoming@vscht.cz . If you can, fill in your name, in the section for signature, prefill the name of your coordinator: Adéla Habartová, position: International Relations Coordinator, etc.
The form may request a signature from your supervisor as well. In that case, give the document to your supervisor to confirm and send us a copy scan.
It is important to inform the Department of International Relations about the EXACT date of your departure:
The start date of the study period is the first day the student needs to be present at the host institution and not the date of arrival (the first day can also be the student accesses activities, for example, enrollment, welcoming events, language and intercultural courses organised by the host institution).
The end date of the study period is the last day the student has been present at the host institution and not the date of departure ( the previous day can also be the student accessing activities, for example, the end of the exam period, courses or mandatory attendance period).
Project Evaluation
If you need a detailed confirmation of your traineeship, you can ask your supervisor to fill in the form Project Evaluation. The signed copy scan by your supervisor needs to be sent via email to incoming@vscht.cz
Some traineeship programs require trainees to submit reports, evaluations, or assessments at the end of their placement. Make sure you complete any necessary documentation as per the requirements of your traineeship program.
UCT Card
Remember to check the balance on your UCT Card, and if you still have funds available, remember to collect them at the respective office. The card can be returned to the Copy centre at UCT Prague.
Close your Bank Account
Close your bank account before leaving the Czech Republic sufficiently in advance before your departure. Contact your bank in person, over the phone, or through their online banking portal. Inform them of your intention to close your student bank account. Ask if any specific requirements or documents are needed for the closure process. Also, ensure all outstanding transactions, such as pending deposits or withdrawals, are completed before initiating the account closure.
ChemTK Library
Make sure that you have returned all library books, materials, and items that you've borrowed. Check your account to ensure that there are no pending checkouts. If you have any overdue items, return them as soon as possible. Libraries often charge fines for late returns, so it's best to clear them before closing your account.
Campus Dejvická is located in the Dejvice district, which is known for its vibrant student community and excellent transportation connections. It is home to several educational institutions (Czech Technical University, Charles University – Catholic Theologic Faculty), including our university, which is one of the country's leading institutions in the field of chemical and technological sciences

The UCT Prague Library, ChemTK, is housed in the National Library of Technology (NTK), opposite building A. You can register at the NTK registration desk on the library's ground floor with your valid ISIC/university card and national ID Card or passport.
The UCT Prague Library was one of the first chemistry-oriented institutions in Europe to install the electronic version of Chemical Abstracts on its local network. This resource provides constantly updated information dating back more than 20 years. Beilstein's Handbuch and Gmelins Handbuch, which cover the fields of organic and inorganic chemistry from the very beginnings of scientific chemistry at the end of the eighteenth century up to the present day, are now available via the CrossFire database in practically every UCT Prague workplace.
It houses more than 100 000 volumes of books, handbooks, encyclopedias, periodicals, and other publications. With access to electronic sources, the UCT Library represents the most extensive chemical library in the Czech Republic and one of the largest libraries in Central Europe.
UCT Prague Press
TheUCT Prague Press publishes several scientific books, textbooks, and other publications in Czech and English. You can use the online catalogue of publications and buy the books in a bookshop located at the National Library of Technology.
Where to eat/drink?
The simplest and swiftest choice for good and healthy meals among students is the canteens, also known as "menza." There is one canteen within the Volha dormitory and another two canteens on the university campus, a mere 5-minute stroll away from UCT Prague.
Location of the canteens
Red Canteen (Menza Studentský dům): Bílá 6, Prague 6; offers 6 meals every day, of which at least one is always vegetarian.
Blue Canteen (Technická menza): Jugoslávských partyzánů 3, Prague 6; offers a wider selection of desserts and snacks. It is popular and therefore busy at lunchtime - if you go in a large group, you probably won't be able to sit together. You can even have breakfast here between 7:30 and 10:00.
To get the student discount on lunch, you must pay with your student card (you will get it once you visit the Department of International Relations), which you can charge with your money. There are two options for how you can set your card:
Either in cash (!) directly in the canteen, where you inform the cash desk personnel that you would like to deposit the money on your ISIC/university card. They will put the money there, and then you can pay for the meal. In the Red and Blue canteens, you take the food from the food desk first and then go to the cash desk. In the Volha canteen, money is deposited on the cash desk on the left side of the food desk, and to choose the meal, you need to press the number of the meal on the display of the meals and pay with the student card first. Then you can take the meal from the food desk.
You can use the “Strávník app” for the Red and Blue Canteen to check your account balance.
Otherwise, you can pay for your meal in cash or by credit card, but without a discount. The discounted price for students is approximately 80–130 CZK (3 – 5 EUR).

Tips
You may meet a canteen personnel who does not speak English well, in such a case prepare the card and the amount of money you need to deposit and smile.
Most Czech traditional meals are meat-based, with thick, often creamy sauces served with carb-dense sides such as dumplings or potatoes. However, there is usually some familiar food like spaghetti, fried cheese, or chicken meat. You can find some vegan options in the Blue canteen.
Eating Czech dumplings with a hand is a big no-no. :-)

Copy Center
The Copy Center provides printing, copying and scanning services. The price of printing a black and white page is 0,9 CZK, and the cost of a colour page is 6,5 CZK.
Where can you find it?
If you need to print a document, you can do so at the self-service printers located in the Copy Center in building B. To find the Copy Center; from the main entrance door in building B, you go to the right-side hallway, pass the Respirium, and continue to the first staircase. You will see a sign Kopírovací centrum at the column of the stairs. You need to go one floor down where you will find the Copy Center behind the grey door.
The printers are connected to all computers in adjacent classrooms, the study room, and virtual classrooms.
Note: Printing requires inserting money on your ISIC / university card (done by the copy centre staff). Remember that there are separate "wallets" in your ISIC / university card, meaning that with the money put on the card in the Copy Center, you cannot pay in the canteens and vice-versa.
Study Breaks
At UCT Prague, we understand the importance of balance in academic life. University study breaks allow students to relax, recharge, and indulge in enjoyable activities during their demanding educational journey.
Respirium
AT UCT Prague, there are two dedicated study rooms called "Respiria" located in building B. Respirium is a relaxation zone and a popular meeting place for students, especially during breaks. You can study there, enjoy a chat with your friends, have a snack, or hang around and meet new friends.
Respirium I (on the picture below) ⇒ ground floor to the right of the main entrance. This room offers a microwave, kettle, sink, vending machines and a cloakroom for storing clothes and luggage. You can also buy school promotional items. There are regular board games, occasional concerts and orchestra rehearsals.
Respirium I is open:
during the semester from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (collecting items from the cloakroom until 6:30 p.m.)
during the exam period, the staff presence time may be reduced (always indicated on the door
during the holidays, the staff is not present, but the respirium is usually accessible
Note: access to the respirium may be restricted during planned events.
Respirium II (room B2302) ⇒ 1st floor, the entrance from Zikova street is smaller, cosier, and thus provides a place to rest and prepare for lectures in the newest part of building B. One floor above, you can find vending machines.
Club Carbon
Club Carbon is a non-smoking student café in the basement of building B designed to be a modern and friendly place to meet with fellow students and teachers. In addition to small snacks, good beer and coffee, Carbon regularly hosts PubQuiz and other social events. It's a tradition to celebrate passing the exams with your friends there. The club is the best place for strengthening contacts and friendships.
Canteens and Buffets
There are two university canteens on the campus. When using a university card / ISIC, students can get student discounts.
· Red Canteen (Menza Studentský dům): Bílá 6, Prague 6
· Blue Canteen (Technická menza): Jugoslávských partyzánů 3, Prague 6
If you are hungry after the lecture, there is a buffet in both buildings A and B.

University support extends beyond the classroom, ensuring that everyone has access to the resources they need to succeed and thrive. Below, we present a brief overview of the key services and facilities we offer:
Laboratories provide research backgrounds for students, professors, and research staff and are equipped with modern and top-level instrumentation. The laboratory staff is experienced in routine as well as specialised experiments. The services of Central Laboratories are used for grants, industrial applications, or student projects, as well as are offered to external customers (universities, private companies, and others).
Central Laboratories staff teach several courses, seminars, workshops, and others for members of the UCT Prague community. The courses include practical skills as well as spectra interpretation.
UCT Prague Press
The UCT Prague Press publishes several scientific books, textbooks, and other publications in Czech and English. You can use the online catalogue of publications and buy the books in a bookshop located at the Czech National Library of Technology.
Computer Rooms
Computer rooms are located in building B. Use EMIL (Android | Apple) maps to find the rooms.
Ground floor (opposite Respirium)
First floor, room B13
Basement, rooms BS4 and BS5
There are also computer labs for students in their faculty departments.
In case further assistance (wi-fi, password) is needed, please get in touch with the technical support of the Computer center: helpdesk@vscht.cz
Copy Center
The Copy Center provides printing, copying and scanning services. The price of printing a black and white page is 0,9 CZK, and the cost of a colour page is 6,5 CZK.
Where can you find it?
If you need to print a document, you can do so at the self-service printers located in the Copy Center in building B. To find the Copy Center; from the main entrance door in building B, you go to the right-side hallway, pass the Respirium, and continue to the first staircase. You will see a sign Kopírovací centrum at the column of the stairs. You need to go one floor down where you will find the Copy Center behind the grey door.
The printers are connected to all computers in adjacent classrooms, the study room, and virtual classrooms.
Note: Printing requires inserting money on your ISIC / university card (done by the copy centre staff). Remember that there are separate "wallets" in your ISIC / university card, meaning that with the money put on the card in the Copy Center, you cannot pay in the canteens and vice-versa.
Study Breaks
At UCT Prague, we understand the importance of balance in academic life. University study breaks allow students to relax, recharge, and indulge in enjoyable activities during their demanding educational journey.
Respirium
AT UCT Prague, there are two dedicated study rooms called "Respiria" located in building B. Respirium is a relaxation zone and a popular meeting place for students, especially during breaks. You can study there, enjoy a chat with your friends, have a snack, or hang around and meet new friends.
Respirium I (on the picture below) ⇒ ground floor to the right of the main entrance. This room offers a microwave, kettle, sink, vending machines and a cloakroom for storing clothes and luggage. You can also buy school promotional items. There are regular board games, occasional concerts and orchestra rehearsals.
Respirium I is open:
during the semester from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (collecting items from the cloakroom until 6:30 p.m.)
during the exam period, the staff presence time may be reduced (always indicated on the door
during the holidays, the staff is not present, but the respirium is usually accessible
Note: access to the respirium may be restricted during planned events.
Respirium II (room B2302) ⇒ 1st floor, the entrance from Zikova street is smaller, cosier, and thus provides a place to rest and prepare for lectures in the newest part of building B. One floor above, you can find vending machines.
Club Carbon
Club Carbon is a non-smoking student café in the basement of building B designed to be a modern and friendly place to meet with fellow students and teachers. In addition to small snacks, good beer and coffee, Carbon regularly hosts PubQuiz and other social events. It's a tradition to celebrate passing the exams with your friends there. The club is the best place for strengthening contacts and friendships.
Canteens and Buffets
There are two university canteens on the campus. When using a university card / ISIC, students can get student discounts.
· Red Canteen (Menza Studentský dům): Bílá 6, Prague 6
· Blue Canteen (Technická menza): Jugoslávských partyzánů 3, Prague 6
If you are hungry after the lecture, there is a buffet in both buildings A and B. You can buy baguettes, sandwiches, panini, toasts, salads, pastries, cookies, as well as coffee, soup and other drinks. They are open most of the day, and you can pay by cash or card. In building A, you will find a buffet named "U Miláčka" ⇒ ground floor, to the right of the main entrance. In building B, you can find the buffet right next to the main entrance before the turnstiles. In addition to refreshments, you can also buy forgotten small school supplies here.
