What firstly should be considered when choosing a university?

It depends on the student - everyone determines the most important criteria for himself. I would advise you to take several rankings and compare them with each other, plus take into account the cost of the course, the location of the university and its scale, the percentage of graduates' employment. See where graduates continue their studies or where they go to work.

1. High-quality educational system

The state allocates large funds to the development of education, supporting schools, colleges and universities. Czech educational institutions are well equipped: they have modern language laboratories, classes with interactive whiteboards, multimedia centers, digital libraries and innovative technology. Large research centers operate on the basis of universities, which annually make a great contribution to the development of science. Universities have established partnerships with major universities in Europe, often students undergo internships in Europe or participate in exchange programs.

2. Prices for academic and language programs below European

Many foreign students choose the Czech Republic because it is much cheaper to study here than in neighbouring countries. Preparation for a university in the Czech Republic is several times cheaper than in Switzerland, England, Austria. Moreover, international students can get discounts and benefits, there is an opportunity to apply for financial assistance or a scholarship program. In addition, education in Czech universitis is free, if a student studies the program in Czech.
