List of Courses

Living in Prague

Prague is a city where tradition meets modernity. Filled with Baroque and Art Nouveau buildings, towering spires, and historic squares, Prague has been masterfully preserved over the centuries and remains a quintessential European city. However, Prague has also evolved into a hub of 21st century innovation in recent years, with its many shopping streets providing passersby with a range of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Visit Prague Castle to see how the Kings of Bohemia lived and spend some time in Old Town Square, often considered the gold standard of traditional European squares. There is so much to do and see in Prague and CEVRO University is located right in the heart of the city, providing easy access to all of Prague’s major sights and attractions.

Potential to Travel

Prague truly is the heart of Europe. A train or bus ride of just a few hours will transport you to other historic cities such as Vienna, Budapest, and Berlin. At the CEVRO University, opportunities abound to travel and experience the range of cultures that exist throughout Europe. CEVRO University is ready to organize a number of travel opportunities throughout the semester. However, students are also welcome to travel with friends outside of CEVRO’s pre-planned excursions. Travelling is certainly one of the most rewarding and enjoyable experiences a student can have while studying in Prague.

Cultural Immersion

CEVRO University attempts to give foreign students a true feel of what it is like to live and study in Prague. Students will be taking all of their classes alongside fulltime CEVRO students. Furthermore, American and other non-European students will be taking classes alongside Erasmus Programme students, who come to CEVRO from a number of different European countries for a similar semester abroad program. Furthermore, students will have the opportunity to learn from renowned professors from both the Czech Republic and other Central and Eastern European countries. These professors often have an incredible range of experiences that they are eager to share their stories with students from abroad.

Eligibility

The entry requirements for exchange students are set by the student’s home university. CEVRO University expects students to have exhibited a high level of academic achievement at their home university and all students must be able to speak English fluently. Before studying at the CEVRO University, we encourage international students to have successfully finished at least one academic year at their home university. CEVRO University reserves the right to review all university academic transcripts and records of a prospective student before admitting that student to study at the CEVRO University.

Accommodation

Living in Prague is fun and relatively inexpensive. (Here is a nice page giving you an idea about living costs.) There are many options where to stay. Students of the CEVRO University may use all dorms in a pool of accommodation facilities in Prague, which is owned by Prague universities and open for all university students. Students may also wish to arrange their own housing in Prague through many commercial agencies.

CEVRO University has a partnership with Student Room Flat Agency. If you provide a reference code: CEVROSRF, you shall get 10 % discount.

CEVRO University also recommends DC Rezidence, and CZU EXTERNAL DORMITORY (Czech University of Life Sciences Prague) for students housing needs. All agencies provide all necessary housing documents needed for visa application.
