We have received a question about the possibility of studying an intensive Czech course. In fact, in addition to the preparatory courses that help applicants to get ready for admission to a university, the Institute’s system also includes courses in which only Czech is taught. Intensive courses last 6 weeks, one semester or even two (course description on the website). However, applying for such courses has its own special features.
Special Visa Features
Intensive courses that take place at the Voršilská center are conducted in two forms – online and offline. If you would like to enroll in an offline course and need a visa, please take the following into account:
- To get to an intensive course, you need a long-term visa with the purpose of „other“ (type 99) (read more about all visa types). This means that it usually takes 180 days from the moment of documents’ submission to the approval of your visa. Therefore, if you want to start studying in the fall, the application deadline is March 31, and for studying in the second semester, the application deadline is August 31. The student visa (type 23 or 24) is issued for preparatory courses only.
- If you are planning to apply to university after the course, please note that the visa 99 is issued for a specific period of time. That is, if you are studying for two semesters, your visa expires at the end of June along with the end of your course. However, you can both extend the duration of this visa, and change it to a student visa in case you enter a Czech university.
You can read about the procedure of applying and obtaining a visa in the instructions for the preparatory courses – there is no crucial difference in procedural aspects.

我的成绩太好了!
Zdenko 老师,我的成绩太好了! 我在口试中只扣了一分——我自己都不敢相信。 笔试部分有我们在课堂上讨论过的问题。 非常感谢!——来自中国的学生颜春丽写给她的老师。 她被查理大学录取,在那里她将在哲学系学习对外波西米亚文学的硕士课程。 她的同学李嘉明也顺利通过了社会科学系的入学考试,将攻读媒体研究硕士学位。 两人都是2022年从中国来到捷克,加入了Humanities COMPLEX课程。 由于他们之前已经学习过捷克语,因此他们与懂斯拉夫语的学生一起上课,以便能够更快地学习。 即便如此,春丽和嘉明也能跟得上学习进度。 他们都在定期考试中取得了一些最好的成绩,勤奋地学习了他们的专业科目,并达到了 B1 水平的捷克语水平。 除了捷克语,他们俩人都很高兴参加了电影和戏剧史课以及社会和文化研讨会。 春丽提到,这些课程中讨论的话题对入学考试有很大帮助。 嘉明还参加了学生演讲比赛,并因其对中国传统服饰的演讲而获得了荣誉奖。 他和他的助手们穿着传统的汉服,甚至设法让观众中的两名志愿者穿上了这种与众不同的服装。 您想免费在捷克最好的大学学习吗? 为此,您只需要做两件事 – 学习捷克语并为入学考试做好准备。 所有这些都可以在查理大学的 ILPS 预科课程中完成——我们为几乎所有领域的入学做准备。 点击横幅
