Czech Technical University in Prague,
Student Guide
The Czech Republic short form Česko Czech is a landlocked country in Central Europe. The
country is bordered by Germany to the west, Austria to the south, Slovakia to the east and
Poland to the north. Its capital and largest city, with 1.3 million inhabitants, is Prague. The
Czech Republic includes the historical territories of Bohemia and Moravia and a small part of
Silesia.
The Czech state, formerly known as Bohemia, was
formed in the late 9th century as a small duchy
around Prague, at that time under the dominance of
the powerful Great Moravian Empire. After the fall
of the Empire in 907, the centre of power was
transferred from Moravia to Bohemia, under the
Přemyslids. Since 1002 it was formally recognized
as part of Holy Roman Empire. In 1212 the duchy
was raised to a kingdom and during the rule of
Přemyslid dukes/kings and their successors, the
Luxembourgs, the country reached its greatest
territorial extent (13th–14th century). During the
Hussite wars the kingdom faced economic
embargoes and crusades from all over Europe.
Following the Battle of Mohács in 1526, the
Kingdom of Bohemia was gradually integrated into
the Habsburg monarchy as one of its three
principal parts, alongside the Archduchy of Austria
and the Kingdom of Hungary. The Bohemian
Revolt (1618–20) lost in the Battle of White
Mountain, led to the further centralization of the
monarchy including forced recatholization and
Germanization. With the dissolution of the Holy
Roman Empire in 1806, the Bohemian kingdom
became part of the Austrian Empire. In the 19th
century the Czech lands became the industrial
powerhouse of the monarchy and the core of the
Republic of Czechoslovakia which was
formed in 1918, following the collapse of
the Austro-Hungarian Empire after World
War I. After 1933, Czechoslovakia
remained the only democracy in central
and eastern Europe.
After the Munich Agreement, Polish
annexation of Zaolzie and German
occupation of Czechoslovakia and the
consequent disillusion with the Western
response and gratitude for the liberation of
the major portion of Czechoslovakia by
the Red Army, the Communist Party of
Czechoslovakia won the majority in
the 1946 elections. In the 1948 coup
d'état, Czechoslovakia became a
communist-ruled state. In 1968, the
increasing dissatisfaction culminated
in attempts to reform the communist
regime. The events, known as the
Prague Spring of 1968, ended with an
invasion by the armies of the Warsaw
Pact countries (with the exception of
Romania); the troops remained in the
country until the 1989 Velvet
Revolution, when the communist
regime collapsed. On 1 January 1993,
Czechoslovakia peacefully dissolved into its constituent states, the Czech Republic and the
Slovak Republic.
The Czech Republic is the first former member of the Comecon to achieve the status of a
developed country according to the World Bank. In addition, the country has the highest human
development in Central and Eastern Europe, ranking as a "Very High Human Development"
nation. It is also ranked as the third most peaceful country in Europe and most democratic and
healthy (by infant mortality) country in the region. It is a pluralist multi-party parliamentary
representative democracy, a member of the European Union, NATO, the OECD, the OSCE, the
Council of Europe and the Visegrád Group.
Prague is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic. It is the fourteenth-largest city in
the European Union.[5] It is also the historical capital of Bohemia proper. Situated in the northwest of the country on the Vltava river, the city is home to about 1.3 million people, while its
larger urban zone is estimated to have a population of nearly 2 million. The city has a temperate
oceanic climate, with warm summers and chilly winters. Prague was first mentioned as
Casurgis, a Germanic city, on the map of Ptolemaios.
Prague has been a political, cultural, and
economic centre of central Europe with waxing
and waning fortunes during its 1,100-year
existence. Founded during the Romanesque and
flourishing by the Gothic and Renaissance eras,
Prague was not only the capital of the Czech
state, but also the seat of two Holy Roman
Emperors and thus then also the capital of the
Holy Roman Empire.[6][7] It was an important
city to the Habsburg Monarchy and its AustroHungarian Empire and after World War I
became the capital of Czechoslovakia. The city
played major roles in the Protestant
Reformation, the Thirty Years' War, and in
20th-century history, during both World Wars
and the post-war Communist era.
Prague is home to a number of famous cultural
attractions, many of which survived the violence and destruction of 20th century Europe. Main
attractions include the Prague Castle, the Charles Bridge, Old Town Square, the Jewish Quarter,
the Lennon Wall, and Petřín hill. Since 1992, the extensive historic centre of Prague has been
included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.
The city boasts more than ten major museums, along with numerous theatres, galleries,
cinemas, and other historical exhibits. A modern public transportation system connects the city.
Also, it is home to a wide range of public and private schools, including Charles University.
Prague is classified as a Beta+ global city according to GaWC studies, comparable to Berlin,
Rome, or Houston. Its rich history makes it a popular tourist destination, and the city receives
more than 4.1 million international visitors annually, as of 2009[update]. In 2011, Prague was
the sixth-most-visited city in Europe.

- Passport
- Letter of Acceptance by CTU in Prague
- A financial agreement/bank account report confirming sufficient resources to cover your stay
in the Czech Republic
- Confirmation of guaranteed accommodation in the Czech Republic signed by the owner and

visit other European countries.
There is a Visa meeting for Erasmus and Exchange students at the end of the first meeting on
Monday during the Orientation Week.

There is a pool of Czech banks to choose from. Three major Czech banks:
Česká spořitelna
ČSOB
www.csas.cz
www.csob.cz
Komerční banka (Commercial bank)
(we recommend it for all students, receiving scholarship at CTU)
www.kb.cz
Health Care
For students from the EU, Norway, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Iceland it is important to
have a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).
Urgent medical treatment
Necessary and urgent medical treatment is obtainable free of charge. The health care costs are
covered by the Czech health insurance fund.
Standard medical care
Standard medical care must be paid for (cash payment is normally required) unless you register
after your arrival in the Czech Republic at VZP (Všeobecná zdravotní pojišovna České
republiky - General Health Care Insurance Company). http://www.vzp.cz/
Visit VZP at Na Perštýně 6, Prague 1 to obtain an official document providing you the same
health service as for citizens of the Czech Republic, with just a small charge for consultations
and prescriptions.
To obtain treatment under the provisions of the European regulations it is important to contact a
medical institution that has a contract with the public health insurance system (most of them
have, but some institutions are private).
If in doubt, contact the Centre for International Reimbursements, Centrum mezistátních úhrad,
http://www.cmu.cz/
Students from non-EU countries are required to have health insurance from an authorized
Czech insurance company. They should check with their insurance company before visiting a
doctor whether it has a contract with that particular institution.
Prescriptions
Prescriptions are issued through doctors and dispensed by pharmacies. You will be asked to pay
a share of the costs, which is not refundable. Note that some medicines available over-thecounter in your home country need a prescription here, and for some common medicines you
must provide an identity document.

TRAVELING in PRAGUE
A convenient and current source of information on Prague public transport is to search on:
www.dpp.cz or www.idos.cz(English & German version). This website finds any journey you
wish, not only inside Prague, and is reliable.
Prague’s integrated public transportation network fully covers the city, including the airport.
The downtown is interconnected by three metro lines, A (green), B (yellow), and C (red). The
metro operates daily from 5 am to midnight and runs every 2 to 10 minutes. The tram system
includes daytime operations from 4.30 am until after midnight, and the night system operates
from midnight to 4.30 am (night trams are denoted by a double digit number starting with 5).
Buses run mostly outside the downtown area. Local trains are also included in the system.
Non-transfer ticket for 24 CZK can be used for 30 minutes from validation. Transfer ticket for
32 CZK can be used for 90 minutes from validation.
Using any public transportation in Prague, a registered student between age 18 - 26, pays 260
CZK for one month and 720 CZK for three months.
You can obtain your pass with your student ID at Bechyňova 3, Prague 6. Or you can use the
white form with a red stripe together with the little yellow paper (both in your welcome pack)
and have your pass issued at a metro station.
Opencard
Students under 18 and aged 26 years or more have to obtain an Opencard to buy a public
transport pass. www.opencard.praha.eu/
We suggest that you buy a one month pass for 670 CZK and during this month to get your
opencard issued (100 CZK, 2-3 weeks waiting time to get the card)
Where to buy a ticket
You can buy tickets from yellow coin-operated machines at metro/tram/bus stations and stops.
Once you have your ticket, punch it in the little
yellow franking machine before you go down to the metro or as you get on the bus or tram. The
ticket is valid from the moment it is punched.
Ticket inspection
If you are caught without a valid ticket, you will be required to pay a fine of CZK 1000,
reduced to CZK 800 if it is paid on the spot or within 15 days.
Always insist on getting a receipt. If you have left your valid pass at home, you pay a CZK 50
fine at Prague 2, Na Bojišti 5 (Metro Line C – I. P. Pavlova station) from the next day (12.30
pm) till the 15th day after (+showing your valid pass).
Taxi
In order to avoid an overpriced ride in a street taxi, we recommend you to call a telephone taxi
company, such as:
AAA Radio taxi: tel.: 140 14
City taxi, tel.: 257 257 257

CTU DORMITORIES
Rooms in the dormitories are inexpensive, conveniently located and all have high-speed
internet access. However, you will share a room – single rooms are usually not available, and
cannot be arranged by the international office.
Some of the dormitories have small rooms, and offer only a moderate level of comfort. The
allocation of rooms in dormitories is not the responsibility of the international office, but of an
organization called SÚZ (Service Facilities Administration). Higher quality accommodation is
available, at a price, on the open market. Private accommodation is currently available at lower
prices than in west European capital cities.
Room Facilities
Each person is provided with a wardrobe, table, bed, chair, pillow, comforter and sheets. You
can change your sheets every week for free.
High-speed internet access is available for CZK 800 per semester.

- If you have personal visits, they must be written down in the Visitors Book, which is normally

The International Office will not appeal against the decision to exclude students from the
dormitory for major or persistent infringements against the dorm regulations. It takes the view
that dormitory residents should be protected from students who behave without due respect for
other residents.

Insurance agreement for your property
The insurance agreement covers only the most basic items. Any major items, e.g., laptops, must
be specified in writing in the agreement, otherwise they are not covered.
If windows have been left open or doors have been left unlocked, or if the owner of the

Culture shock
Some of the symptoms of culture shock include excessive concern over cleanliness and the
feeling that what is new and strange is “dirty”. There can be a feeling of helplessness,
irritation over delays, and other minor frustrations out of proportion to their causes. Further
symptoms may be a feeling that the “natives” are really perverse, and their social rules
deserve no respect. This may be accompanied by unwillingness or refusal to learn the
language of the host country. In addition, there can be excessive fear of being cheated,
robbed, or injured, and great concern over minor pains. Last but not least, there may be a
terrible longing to be back home, in familiar surroundings, with friends and relatives, and, in
general, to talk to people who really “make sense”.
Most likely, you will experience some level of culture shock. After all, it is normal to miss the
comforts and familiarity of home. In the course of one of your first extended stays abroad,
you will have to learn how to deal with it.
If you are getting low, do seek help. The International Office and the International Student
Club offer a sympathetic ear - talking it out at length, with a “native”, can be very therapeutic.
In exceptional cases, culture shock can make people dangerously depressed. Our normal
reaction to dangerously depressed people is to ignore them, as deep depression is unattractive.
If you know of a student who is seriously depressed, please inform the International Office.
We believe you will enjoy your stay and that you will easily overcome any “culture shock“.
