The Czech Republic boasts the oldest institution of higher education in Central Europe, the Charles University. Located in Prague, the school was founded in 1348. Modern Czech higher education uses the three cycle structure of bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees. Higher education institutions are divided into universities and non-universities. Non-universities usually provide only bachelor’s degrees, while universities provide programs of study across all degree levels and academic disciplines. The Czech Republic has 26 public, 2 state, and 44 private institutions of higher education. The two state institutions are specialized schools run by the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of the Interior. Taken together, the schools offer master’s degrees in a wide range of disciplines, including architecture, art history, sculpture, theatre, theological studies, engineering, information technology, chemistry, physics, natural sciences, business, social sciences, forestry, education, and many others. Many private institutions focus on specific areas of study such as business. Why Study in the Czech Republic? The Czech Republic has a long tradition of high quality education and research, particularly in the fields of science, engineering and medicine. International students will find a welcoming environment; currently more than 37,000 foreign students are studying at Czech schools. Many programs are now offered in English and other languages besides Czech. In addition, Mater of Business Administration (MBA) degrees are growing in popularity; most MBA programs use a case-study approach. Tuition and Program Duration By law, tuition is free for all nationalities at all public institutions of higher learning in the Czech Republic. Some fees do apply, such as admissions, extension of studies beyond original date, studies undertaken in addition to a student’s original plan, and fees for studying in a language other than Caech. Private institutions set their own tuition and fees, and these typically range from $US 2,000 to $US 15,000 each year. Master’s degree programs can last anywhere from one to three years. Master’s programs are very theoretical and students are required to take a final state exam and defend a thesis in a public forum. Academic Year Exact start dates are established by individual institutions, but most begin the academic year in October. In addition, most institutions divide the academic year into two 20-week winter and summer semesters, each including a 15-week instructional period, five weeks of exams, and a holiday. A two month holiday is usually taken in July and August. Post-Graduate Opportunities There are many opportunities for employment in the Czech Republic after obtaining a master’s degree for all students, regardless of nationality. One-third of company directors in the Czech Republic are foreigners. Although business is increasingly conducted in English, students who have undertaken studies in Czech or are already proficient in Czech will find an advantage in obtaining employment. Visa Requirements All international students require long-term visas for studying in the Czech Republic. Additional information is available at the website for the Ministry of the Interior. Long-term student visas can take 3-4 months to obtain, so students should plan accordingly. Health Insurance Students from EU-member countries, Iceland, Lichtenstein, Norway and Switzerland may use the European Health Insurance Card provided by their home country to obtain medical services. Students from other countries are not entitled to public health insurance and must purchase commercial health insurance that covers at least €30,000 worth of care. Students on long-term stays are required to present proof of premium payment. In addition to health insurance, all major hospitals accept major credit cards or cash as payment for treatment. Tips There are many student organizations in the Czech Republic dedicated to helping international students. These organizations include the Erasmus Student Network and The International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience (IAESTE). Students not proficient in Czech will find many courses in the Czech Republic to assist them. Although these courses typically require an additional fee, some are covered by scholarships. The Institute for Language and Preparatory Studies provides multiple courses for students with language deficiencies, including intensive courses and online courses.

Study in Portugal Student Study Visa in Chandigarh Punjab

Study in Portugal

Often referred to as Britain’s oldest ally, Portugal is also tied to the UK as part of the European Higher Education Area. Although Portugal was badly hit by the Eurozone crisis, its universities are highly regarded internationally. The downside for UK applicants is that there are very few English-taught courses.

• Portuguese universities have existed since 1290. The oldest, the University of Coimbra, was first established in Lisbon before moving to Coimbra in 1537.

• Fees are competitive, from €950–1,250 a year.

• Five of Portugal’s universities are ranked within the top 700 in the 2014–15 QS World University Rankings. The University of Porto is 293rd, Universidade Nova de Lisboa 312th, University of Coimbra 351st, University of Lisbon is in the 501–550 band and Universidade Catolica Portuguesa Lisboa is in the 601-650 band.

Entry and visa regulations

Students from within the EU, European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland do not need a visa to study in Portugal but must apply for an EU citizen residence card (Cartão de Residência para Cidadão Comunitário) preferably within four months of arriving in the country. EU students are charged a fee of €7.

• Proof of sufficient resources to support yourself financially throughout your stay in Portugal will be required – normally at least an amount equivalent to the minimum national wage, (€485 a month in 2011).

• Some non-EU students are required to apply for a residence visa (Visto para Residência) before entering Portugal at the Portuguese embassy or consulate in their home country. The residence visa allows entry Portuguese territory in order to apply for a residence permit.

• Police record of good conduct.

• A copy of a health insurance plan.

• A bank statement or copy of grant/scholarship showing evidence of ability to support yourself financially throughout your time as a student in Portugal.

• There are very few courses with English as the language of instruction. For these, applicants are required to prove a sufficient level of knowledge of English. Although the expected level of command of English may vary in line with the study programme or course, the minimum average English language requirement is 550 points (paper-based TOEFL test), or 213 points (computer-based TOEFL test), or 79-80 points (Internet-based TOEFL test), or 5.5-6.5 score in the IELTS test.

• Colleges and universities have specific language requirements for admission, though these generally vary significantly from one course to another. Contact the International Office or Admissions Office at the institution to check this information for specific courses.

The university system

Portugal’s university system has its origins in the 13th century but has been extensively modernised in line with the European Higher Education Area.

• There are 13 public universities, one public university institute, a public open university, and several private universities and university institutes.

• University courses are to be found in fields such as medicine, law, pharmaceutical sciences, natural sciences, economics, psychology, veterinary medicine, engineering, technology, management, education, agriculture, sports, and humanities.

• The closing date for normal applications is in February of the year of entry.

Tuition fees and funding your study

Public universities decide the level of tuition fees (propinas) but the Ministry of Education establishes a minimum fee equivalent to 1.3 times the minimum national wage rate.

• However fees are normally higher than the minimum recommendation.

• Full time students on bachelors and masters programmes pay an average of €950-1,250 a year.
