Czech University of Life Sciences Prague welcomes international applicants to Bachelor's, Master's and doctoral programmes, including a substantial portfolio of programmes taught in English. International applicants must meet the academic and language requirements of their selected programme and complete the applicable recognition procedure for previous foreign education. Requirements for authentication, legalisation, translation and recognition of foreign educational documents depend on the country in which the qualification was issued. Afghan applicants may apply as international candidates. Applicants with educational documents issued in Afghanistan must follow CZU's specific foreign-education recognition and document-verification requirements applicable to Afghanistan. English-taught programmes generally charge tuition fees, which vary considerably by faculty and programme. Czech-taught programmes at the public university may be tuition-free subject to the applicable admission and Czech-language requirements. CZU provides on-campus accommodation, although capacity is limited and students should apply early.
