If you are employed by a company which agrees to contribute towards your blended programme studies, Prague City University will match a contribution from your employer, capped at 20% of the total tuition fee.
For example, if your company offers to pay 10% of fees, PCU will also pay 10%, reducing your own costs to only 80%. And if a company offers to pay 50% of the fees, PCU will still contribute 20%, meaning you pay only 30% of the total tuition fee.
Note: Applicants who apply for and are successfully awarded a scholarship are not eligible to benefit from this bursary, even if their company agrees to cover the cost of their tuition fees.
We also have a special fund to support students coming from Czech-language and Slovak-language secondary schools and universities. Please ask about this during the admissions process.
Prague City University gives out scholarships annually to applicants who have refugee status in the Czech Republic.

At PCU there are no application fees and payment plans can be arranged with our Finance Department. Many students have their studies sponsored by family, state funding, or receive support from their company.
In some countries government funding is available to support students studying abroad. Students from Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium and others, have all successfully gained funding from their home countries to be able to support their studies at PCU.
If you think you may be eligible for funding from your home country do not hesitate to ask for our advice and support regarding any documentation you might need. We offer administrative support for students applying for loans, bursaries and grants to help fund their studies.
If you work for a company which is part of our Industry Network, you qualify for an automatic 10% discount, regardless of whether you or your company are paying for tuition.
