Student status
Students of the IDS program obtain a student ID card which allows them to use the facilities and services offered by the university, i.e. library, computer laboratory, WiFi connection, canteen, etc. They also benefit from other student advantages, e.g. public transport student tariffs, and other reductions provided by public or private institutions.
Libraries
The university’s library is open for students, subject to a simple registration procedure. Students can visit and use other public libraries in Prague, e.g. the Library of the Institute of International Relations, Prague, the National Library of the Czech Republic or the Municipal Library of Prague.
Computers, Internet
Computer labs (ISC Study Room – computers with an English menu) are available for international students (with printers and copiers). There is free access to Wi-Fi at the university campus if you use your own laptop. A Study Centre and Internet access are available in the dormitory, too.
Acommodation
The Jarov university dormitory is available for international students (as well as for Czech ones). It is situated in the Žižkov district in Prague 3, approximately 15 minutes by tram from the university. Double-bedded rooms are equipped with Internet access. The cost is approximately EUR 100 per month. Students interested in living in the dormitory shall indicate their request in the IDS program’s Application form (see section How to apply).
Meals
Students can eat in canteens at the university campus and at the Jarov dormitory for student (lower) prices. There are also other meal opportunities (cafeterias, academic club).
Mentorship: Buddy system
The ESN VŠE Praha Buddy System is an Erasmus Student Network organization which facilitates the student and social life of foreign students in the Czech Republic. Students from abroad are offered a possibility to pair up with a Czech student who will help them to settle more easily into the new environment. The organization helps before arrival and during the stay, especially during the first few days. Foreign students are accompanied from the airport or the train/bus station to the dormitory, and are provided with basic orientation in the city and school, assisted with school and other formalities (school ID card, public transport pass, etc.) During the whole academic year, Buddy System organizes trips, meetings, parties and other activities for students.
