Cost of Studying in Czechia (2027) for International Students

Studying in Czech at a public university is free, and a fee only begins if a student overruns the standard length of the degree by more than a year. Degrees taught in English are charged, and Charles University puts its own range at EUR 40 to EUR 30,620 a year depending on the programme, with its First Faculty of Medicine at EUR 24,250. Admission is by faculty entrance examination, and the medical ones are hard: Charles admitted 102 of 785 General Medicine applicants in the year before its 2026/27 cycle.

Two tracks, two answers.

Czech-taught degrees at public universities are free. Charles University states that studies in Czech carry no tuition, and that a fee is charged only if a student exceeds the standard duration of study by more than one year. Its own worked example: General Medicine has a standard length of six years, a student may take seven at no charge, and a fee begins on entering the eighth.

English-taught degrees are charged, and the range is wide. Charles University summarises its own foreign-language programmes as costing between EUR 40 and EUR 30,620 a year, depending on the programme. Its First Faculty of Medicine charges EUR 24,250 a year for both General Medicine and Dentistry, plus a non-refundable application fee of EUR 285 which must be paid before an applicant is allowed to sit the entrance examination.

Masaryk University in Brno publishes a fee for each faculty, and mixes currencies. Its Faculty of Medicine charges CZK 380,000 a year for General Medicine and CZK 400,000 for Dentistry. Its Faculty of Arts charges CZK 76,000 a year for all bachelor's programmes and for the follow-up master's in English Language and Literature and North-American Culture Studies, dropping to CZK 38,000 for Medieval Latin Language and Literature and CZK 19,000 for Visual Cultures and Art History. The Faculty of Education is CZK 68,000, and the Faculty of Economics and Administration CZK 100,000 for Economics and Public Policy and for Public Administration, CZK 120,000 for the rest. Three faculties quote in euros: Science at EUR 3,000 for most programmes, EUR 4,500 for Geography of Global Environmental Change and EUR 14,000 for Data Analytics; Informatics at EUR 4,500; Pharmacy at EUR 7,500; and Social Studies at EUR 3,000 for a September 2026 start rising to EUR 3,500 for a February 2027 one.

The practical consequence is that a prospective student cannot compare Czech universities on a single number. A humanities bachelor's at Masaryk at CZK 76,000 a year and a medical degree at Charles at EUR 24,250 are both "studying in Czechia", and they are two different financial decisions.

⚠️ Living costs and the residence permit fee are not recorded here: the Czech immigration authority's pages were not read for this file, so those figures are absent rather than taken from a second-hand source.
