Entry requirements
Typically for Czech universities in this band, a recognised bachelor's in a closely matching field — Czech master's are usually follow-on degrees, so the subject has to line up — and many faculties add an entrance exam or subject interview, which is more common in Czechia than in most of Europe. A three-year Indian bachelor's is normally acceptable, but your degree usually has to be formally recognised (nostrification) by the university or a regional authority; timing varies and the process can take a couple of months, so some faculties want it settled during admissions rather than at enrolment — start it early. English-taught master's usually ask IELTS 6.0–6.5, so prepare for 6.5 unless your programme states lower; Czech-taught ones need Czech at around B2. Vibedu confirms the exact requirement, whether your programme sets an entrance exam, and which recognition route it accepts, free.
Indicative for international postgraduate applicants — your counsellor confirms the exact cut-offs and English scores for your chosen programme, free.
Tuition + living cost calculator
Estimate your total cost of study. Pick your programme length: We don't have a source-backed tuition figure for Charles University, so this covers living costs only. Pick your programme length:
Indicative estimate (annual tuition + living, €). Your counsellor confirms exact fees, living costs and the scholarships that reduce this — free. Living costs are an indicative national range in €, not this university's own figure. Tuition varies by course here, so we'd rather confirm your exact fee than print an average — ask us and it's free.
Exchange rates as of 18 Aug 2026 (31 days ago) — European Central Bank reference rates (AED via open.er-api.com), mid-market. The INR figure is converted from € at that rate. Your bank's remittance rate will be worse than mid-market, and currencies move a percent or two a month, so use these for planning rather than as the amount you will actually pay.
