The COMPLEX programme provides the necessary support for mastering academic subjects as well as the Czech language. Czech is complex, and mastering it requires significant effort, especially from students with no experience in Slavic languages.
The success rate of our students is 90% or higher. Each year, the majority of our students successfully complete the programme with a B2 level of Czech and continue their studies at the most prestigious Czech universities in the most sought-after fields of study.
Some of our students successfully complete the programme with a B1 level of Czech. At this level, two options are available:
The foundation program kicks off with a two-week intensive Czech language course, during which you'll firmly grasp essential phrases, receive practical tips on life in the Czech Republic, and familiarize yourself with your study center and its surroundings (shops, pharmacies, etc.). Of course, you'll also learn more details about Charles University. Starting from the third week, your schedule will incorporate lessons in specialized subjects in the Czech language.
You can look forward not only to lectures and seminars, but also to study projects with feedback from lecturers. Teachers combine theoretical instruction with practical assignments and exercises to prepare students for entrance exams and subsequent university studies. A bonus of our program is the opportunity to attend lectures at selected colleges and universities during the summer semester.
Regular tests both from the academic subjects and the language are integral part of the learning process, which will help you monitor how well you are achieving your learning goals. A diagnostic test at the end of the first semester will assess your progress and reveal the weaknesses of your studies. Based on the result of the final exam at the end of the second semester, you will receive a certificate of your knowledge of the Czech language.
