Student life in Brno
Language
During your time in Brno, you will be able to get by in your day-to-day life by speaking English. The Czech Republic is used to receiving millions of visitors a year. Young people speak very good English, often better than the English spoken in Spanish-speaking countries. Therefore, you will be able to practice your English on a daily basis and become an advanced speaker in a very short period of time.
English is the language used throughout the degree programme – classes, exams and study materials are all in English. Your results will never depend on your ability to speak Czech.
After your first year, you will take a Czech course for beginners in order to achieve a basic knowledge of the language, as you will need it during your internships at the hospital. However, we would like to stress that the official language of the degree programme is English.
Accommodation
Students can stay in the university’s Halls of Residence. It is important to book in advance as places are limited. First-year students are usually given priority. If you are interested, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can make the booking.
It is also quite common for students to rent an apartment in the city centre, just a few minutes away from the university campus. It is possible to find an apartment for 250 EUR a month. We will help you find appropriate accommodation.
We will also put you in touch with other Spanish students starting the same year as you.Our experience will be of great help to you and we will seek to make the process of moving to another country as smooth as possible.
