Scholarships at Prague City University

Applicants for full-time or blended learning programmes at Prague City University are eligible to apply for a scholarship covering up to 50% of tuition fees for all undergraduate programmes and Master's programmes. Scholarships can be awarded for either a single academic year or the duration of the whole programme.

There are also financial benefits available for professional students who have their studies sponsored by their employer. Please see the 'Financing' section below.

This scholarship is awarded for outstanding academic achievement and/or engagement in an academic context.

All Bachelor's degree graduates of any programme at Prague City University will automatically receive an academic excellence scholarship if they decide to continue onto a Master’s degree within the first year of finishing a Bachelor’s degree. The scholarship amount depends on the final classification of the Bachelor's degree.

For this award we are looking primarily for exceptional achievement in a professional and social context, as well as leadership and entrepreneurial skills. Evidence from the fields of business, IT or humanitarian engagement will be recognized.

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, Prague City University will also pay 10%, reducing your own costs to only 80%. And if a company offers to pay 50% of the fees, Prague City University 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.

Prague City University gives out scholarships annually to applicants who have refugee status in the Czech Republic.

I received a scholarship for academic excellence to study International Finance and Business Accounting. This is helping me to pursue my studies in International Business. When I complete my studies I plan to become a certified Tax Advisor.

Applying for a Scholarship

All scholarship applications should be made at the time of applying to a programme. A scholarship application letter is required, accompanied by supporting evidence.

When assessing applications, the Scholarship Committee looks at the leadership qualities of the applicant as well as their potential to succeed in their chosen programme at Prague City University.

All scholarship winners will become Student Ambassadors, an opportunity to develop different skills while engaging in a range of activities and events for the university community.

As a working professional in the IT sector, I was able to receive a professional excellence scholarship from PCU which enabled me to pursue my Master's in Computing. Achieving my Master's degree will help my career as I have gained a broader and deeper understanding of several different areas in IT resulting in higher efficiency and faster communication across my different teams at work. It will also assist with career progression, all while I achieve good knowledge outside of my specialisation helping me better orientate in areas I am less familiar with.
