Czech Language Course

The Czech Language Course is designed especially for students who want to study at CTU.

The goal of the intensive one-year Czech Language Course is to attain the level of Czech necessary for studying at a technical university in the language. A good command of Czech at the entrance procedures (B2 level according to the European Reference Framework) is a necessary prerequisite for study at CTU.

Academic year 2012 / 2013:

  • Winter semester    1 October 2012 – 21 December 2012    –    20 Czech lessons a week
  • Summer semester    14 January 2013 – 31 May 2013    –    20 Czech lessons a week

The maximum number of students in a class is 15, (the class opens if at least 8 students apply). The Czech Language Course concentrates on mastering speech skills (reading, writing, speaking, listening comprehension), development of communicative skills (vocabulary expansion, idioms) and the ability to react in everyday situations. Students gradually learn about Czech culture too.

As well as the intensive Czech Language Course, in the summer semester there is a supplementary training in mathematics and physics which form a part of the CTU entrance tests. The course´s price is not included in the language course price, those who are interested pay extra (other courses at CTU see http://www.cvut.cz/zajemci-o-studium/czv/p/zk).

The extent of the courses gives the students a good chance to prepare well for the entrance examination.

The preparatory course is taught by qualified CTU teachers using effective teaching methods in a multimedia language laboratory.

At the end of the summer semester students take the final exam and receive a certificate of course completion. A student who joins the course as a beginner can after completing all study duties attain the B2 level according to the European Reference Framework.

The course’s price covers the course’s costs including tests and the final test and basic study materials.
