How to apply to study in Czechia from Uzbekistan

Data read from the sources: 17 September 2026

What documents and grades do you need to study in Czechia?

Czechia has no central application: each university takes applications through its own online system, deadlines usually fall between February and April, and the application fee runs from a few hundred crowns to around 1,000 CZK. A certificate issued abroad has to be recognised, either by nostrification through the relevant Czech authority or inside the university's own admission procedure. Czech-taught programmes at public universities are tuition-free but most ask for at least B2 Czech; for English-taught programmes the university sets the language evidence itself. For the visa, documents go in with an official translation into Czech and an apostille, no older than 180 days, and the processing time is 60 days.

Foundation year

Czechia's official bridge is a year of language and expert preparation organised by a public university. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs recognises it as a study purpose in its own right for a long-term permit, provided you submit a confirmation naming the accredited programme you are preparing for. Charles University's ÚJOP says it takes your Czech from scratch to B1, B2 or C1 within a year, and Czech-taught programmes at public universities are tuition-free. Documents go in with an apostille and an official translation into Czech, and supporting documents may not be older than 180 days.

With an Uzbek attestat (11 years)

Language year

This is the route itself. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs counts language and expert preparation organised by a public university as a study purpose in its own right for a long-term permit, and Charles University's ÚJOP offers the year of preparation as the way into a Czech-taught bachelor programme. None of these pages says anything specific about an 11-year Uzbek attestat; having the certificate recognised stays a separate step.

Documents

  • School certificate

    Study in Czechia states that for Bachelor's and long-cycle Master's programmes you usually need completed secondary education that gives access to higher education in your country, and lists the diploma or graduation certificate from your previous studies among the documents you may be asked for.

  • Academic transcript

    Study in Czechia lists the transcript of records among the documents you may be asked for in the application system.

  • Passport

    The Ministry of Foreign Affairs lists the passport among the requirements for a long-term study permit and states that the passport must always be submitted in the original, is always returned to the applicant, and is submitted again when the visa is issued.

  • Photograph

    The Ministry of Foreign Affairs lists 2 photos among the requirements presented when the long-term study permit application is lodged, and exempts the photo from the 180-day age limit if it reflects the applicant's current appearance.

  • Certified translation

    The Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that supporting documents must be submitted in Czech and that documents in another language must also be submitted in official translation into Czech.

  • Apostille

    The Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that foreign public documents must be legalized, that is equipped by an apostille or superlegalized; the HCCH status table lists Uzbekistan as a contracting party to the Apostille Convention since 15 April 2012 and Czechia since 16 March 1999, so the apostille is the route for Uzbek documents.

  • Financial statement

    The Ministry of Foreign Affairs asks for supporting documents on financial means, or proof that the student disposes of a financial amount that would constitute real housing expenses, or proof that all the expenses will be covered by a third party such as a state institution, a legal person or a hosting organisation, for example a stipend or a grant. The page names no currency amount, so none is given here.

Bachelor’s

With an Uzbek attestat (11 years)

Language year

No official Czech page says anything specific about an 11-year Uzbek attestat. Study in Czechia says only that you need completed secondary education giving access to higher education in your country and that a certificate issued abroad may need recognition. Because the source is silent, the most conservative option is taken: a Czech language preparation year at a public university first, then the bachelor programme. Ask your chosen university in writing whether your certificate allows direct entry and whether nostrification will prescribe a validation examination.

Documents

  • School certificate

    Study in Czechia states that for Bachelor's and long-cycle Master's programmes you usually need completed secondary education that gives access to higher education in your country, and lists the diploma or graduation certificate from your previous studies among the documents you may be asked for.

Master’s

A Czech follow-up master takes a completed bachelor's degree or equivalent previous higher education, and a degree issued abroad has to be recognised. The application goes through the university's own online system, with deadlines usually between February and April. Czech-taught programmes at public universities are tuition-free and usually ask for at least B2 Czech; for English-taught programmes the university sets the language requirement. Visa documents go in with an official translation into Czech and an apostille, no older than 180 days, and processing takes 60 days.

With an Uzbek attestat (11 years)

Straight into the first year

Entry to a master rests on a completed bachelor's degree, so the 11-year attestat question does not arise here. Study in Czechia asks only for a completed bachelor's degree or equivalent previous higher education, and for its recognition. The official pages say nothing about the Uzbek attestat as such.
