from the day you contact us. Before making your
choice, our designated staff members will guide you
through your academic choices, visa and immigration
requirements, travel information, housing, welfare
advice, and the costs of studying and living in Prague.
Once you arrive in Prague, members of our staff are
available to give advice, information and support on a
wide range of topics. Being at the crossroads of Central
Europe, Prague and the Czech people have been
exposed to all nations, cultures and traditions. This
experience is part of our native sense of hospitality and
in this spirit we have imbued our faculty and staff with
a sense of honor together with responsibility in our
contacts with international students.
Induction Program
As a new student from overseas, you are invited to
join a special orientation event, which is held at the
beginning of your program to give you an opportunity
to settle prior to the start of your studies. In addition to
receiving general advice about living and studying in
Prague, you will have the chance to meet faculty and
staff, other overseas students, and be acquainted with
the various clubs and societies at UNYP.
Housing
UNYP works with a number of agencies who are able
to offer you local housing conveniently located within
walking distance from the university or a short
metro/tram ride away. Housing is available at a range
of prices. Rooming with current students is also an
option. Details for housing opportunities are posted on
the Student Bulletin Board.
