The same rules for every institution in Czechia; Obchodní Akademie's own programme pages govern the exact dates and scores. Guide checked 24 Sep 2026.
Deadlines and intakes
Deadlines are set by each faculty, often in the spring for a September start, with some English-taught programmes running a second round. Check your programme page.
Recognition of your previous education comes first and takes time. For a master's degree you usually need your bachelor's recognised by a public university (typically 30 days, extendable to 60 days). For a bachelor's degree, your school-leaving certificate generally needs recognition too. Qualifications from Slovakia, Poland, Hungary and Slovenia can be used directly. Build recognition into your timeline before you think about the visa.
Language you need
Czech is spoken everywhere outside international offices, and daily life, landlords, Ministry of the Interior offices and most part-time jobs run in Czech. English-taught programmes are widely available at master's level and in medicine, engineering and IT; English-taught bachelor's degrees are fewer.
If you are aiming for a free Czech-taught degree, you will need Czech at the level your faculty sets: check the admission conditions. Many students do a one-year preparatory Czech course first; those courses charge fees.
Free for students
Tell us what you want to study. Your request goes to the admissions team or to an adviser who works with them will contact you by email to help with your application. It costs you nothing.
Paying for it
Government schemes for international students coming to Czechia. Each one sets its own rules on nationality and level.
Student reviews: none yet for Obchodní Akademie. If you study or studied here, yours would be the first.
Every reviewer confirms their email address with a one-time link, and a person at Studies Multiverse reads each review before it appears. We publish good and bad reviews on the same terms, never edit them, never pay for them, and an institution cannot remove a review by paying us. Reviews sent from the institution’s own email domain are not accepted. Institutions can reply below a review. See our terms.
Get in touch
Studies Multiverse passes your question to the admissions office by email, and they reply to you directly. We do not sell your details to anyone.
For staff of Obchodní Akademie
Staff can manage this page at no cost: correct the details, add your logo and a description, see how many students look at it, add photographs and courses, and answer the questions they send. All of it is free.
Students: this is not an application. To apply or ask about courses, visit Obchodní Akademie’s website.
