Student services
If you came here for a short term mobility - 1 or 2 semesters, the International Student Club can help you especially at the beginning of your stay to settle in new environment. Later on, you can take part in the trips and social events ISC organises for all international students or join various language courses.
Housing services
Approximately 8,000 local and international students are accommodated each year in the CTU dormitories. Rule number one is that each new student shall be offered a place/bed. The accommodation is mainly in shared rooms, and it is not possible to apply for a separate single room at the beginning of the year. In response to many requests for single accommodation, we have tried to find a solution. If you wish to live on your own and there is no single room available, there is an option of getting a double room in a university dormitory for 1½ times the price for a bed in a double room.
