In order to get access to the Charles university facilities, you will need the Charles University Student Card, which can be issued to you in one of our Card Service Center at the hostel Na Kotli – see the address and opening hours below.

There are two main types of student cards:


  1. CU Student card (free of charge)

  2. Student card with the ISIC licence (for an extra charge) that enables you to get discounts in theatres, cinemas, bookshops, sport centres or some restaurants.

  • Dentist: MDDr. Jan Schmidt​ – his office is in the Dentistry Department, building No. 11 - Faculty Hospital in Sokolská 581

  • Psychological Consultant: Mr. David Skorunka M.D., Ph.D or Ms. Gal Haimy, MA in the Faculty building


To find out more about the doctors' working hours, location, etc., visit the page Doctor for Foreign Students.



Cost of Living


  • Living in the Czech Republic is rather affordable, however all depends on the price of the rent (a shared room in a hall of residence, a private studio, a private room in a shared appartment etc). and the level of your lifestyle (adding up the expenses for groceries, entertainment, school supplies, travelling, etc). The approximate monthly cost of living can vary from 10 000 CZK (400 EUR) to 20 000 CZK (800 EUR).

  • Keep in mind the private accommodation might be more expensive than a student residence.



Bank and Currency


  • Exchange of any convertible currency is possible in all the banks in the city centre as well as at many other places (Tesco stores, travel agencies, information centres, etc.). Also, 24-hour currency exchange service may be provided at hotel receptions or ATM's.

  • The official currency of the Czech Republic is Czech crown ("koruna"), abbreviated as Kč, with the international abbreviation CZK.



Travelling


When you have spare time to make a trip and discover the beauty of our region (or if you wish to travel even abroad), we highly recommend using IDOS, one of the search engines of national and international transport timetables. There you can find schedules of trains, buses, planes, and the public transport of a host of selected cities in the country.
