Tuition fees and financial aid

Tuition fees for degree programmes taught in English

Tuition fees are paid per academic year and vary depending on the faculty and the degree programme.​

Paying tuition fees online: International students outside of EU who wish to pay tuition fees in euros or in their local currency can use the GlobalPay for Students Platform (GPfS). The GPfS platform allows students to pay fees via bank transfer, credit card, or by using local online payment options and more without incurring any international transactions charges.

Programmes taught in Czech

Whereas students in programmes taught in English are charged very affordable fees, programmes taught in Czech are completely tuition free, but a serious working knowledge of Czech is required.

If you are interested in studying in Czech or would like to improve your command of the language, you might consider registering in a preliminary language course one year prior to your enrolment at Masaryk University. This intensive course will help you prepare for studying one of the 300 fields of study taught in Czech.
