Univerzita Karlova

Spent 6 years, getting my degree here. The experience is phenomenal. You make friends for life and the diversity is incredible. Truly global. The student experience only gets better by the fact that the city is very safe and comparatively cheaper than other places in Europe. The university in itself is still catching up to the level of modernisation, you would find in the UK, Scandinavia or German universities but nonetheless, still good.

Charles University is one of the prominent institutes of Europe. This has produced some of the best researchers, educationists, scientists, politicians, writers and philosophers in the ages. Czech Republic is the birth place of modern education, the concept that was tested and applied first time in world. The bishop John Amos Comenius was the first person to introduce the concept of universal education with emphasise of learning with experience and practice rather than just remembering. He advocated learning in native languages rather than in Latin. Czech People continued to contribute in science and philosophy ever since. Charles University has proved to be excellent in diverse fields of science, arts, technology, and economics. I ave seen some quality research have been published by university professors. Their contribution in top tier journals attest not only their personal knowledge but also the synergetic environment of the university. I always dream to study in this university but never got the chance. In September 2015, forensic department of Czech Government organised the one of the biggest forensic conferences of Europe and the world. EAFS 2015 happened in Prague and I got the opportunity to publish my research work in this conference. One day I thought to visit the university. I visited Anthropology department but unfortunately the department was closed so I had to return. But i got the glimpse of the department where I want to study. In future I am planning to apply for a fellowship to study In Charles university. I got some pictures that I would like to share with you. If you are in academics you will defiantly appreciate. If you visit Prague then apart from other historically important monuments, consider your visit to Charles University as well. All the best for your journey to Prague and be safe. Wear your mask.

very unfriednly towards foreign student. Also very ineffective in adminstration process. It took me more than one week to get papers which I need, and the staff is not helpful at all. The staff is obviously on vacation .. Don't know why UK can't spend money to hire some more staff.... Very Sad and pity for the Czech university. Foreigners, be aware before you apply !

One of the best universities , and well ranked by finacial times . I had the opportunity to study there as an erasmus student in 2016 !

Nice building and museum, talking about the history of the university.

Excellent university with excellent ranking. Main building is situated at the city center.

Pride of Czech culture.

There are relatively negative experiences at the foreign department at the Faculty of Arts Charles University- especially with the coordinator for outgoing students Petra Benešovská.There is also the case of a student who was nominated for a British foreign university at the time of Brexit and the approach from abroad was not very supportive. Mrs. Benešovská refused to solve the situation of unsupported procedures and as the only solution she suggested that the student should not go anywhere. The student was already counting on leaving at that time and would be harmed. The coordinator for outgoing students had the student call other universities, saying that the student would go elsewhere. She promised to forward the nomination if the student arranges the transfer herself - a few months after closing all the nominations, the student really succeeded. The nomination was not forwarded in the end.There were further errors on the part of the coordinator, for example, she did not deliver the Erasmus nomination within the interinstitutional agreement to the current email in the contract and in the deadline specified in the contract, which was again addressed by the student, although does not belong to the student agenda. However Petra Benešovská used the student to do her own work duties.The communication of the coordinator for outgoing students Petra Benešovská is very problematic.Furthermore, the coordinator ignored questions about the Learning Agreement and then accused the student that the incomplete documentation is her fault, even if the student does not have the authority to complete the documentation and the coordinator Petra Benešosvká ignored suggestions to address the deficiency in the documentation.Shortly before departure of the student, the coordinator Petra Benešovská,received a complaint about incomplete documentation for the student's departure and suggested that the study be cancelled. She informed the student in question up to 1 day before leaving for one year of study, even though an agreement had been reached earlier.At that time, she ignored several emails from a departing student and then out of nowhere sent her information that her studies were cancelled because the student allegedly did not meet the deadline for submitting the learning agreement." If we have the right information

One of the best universities in Chez. Republic. It is close to Charles bridge and well connected via tram. The infrastructure is excellent.
