Orientation Week

Each academic year starts with an orientation week that includes an opening reception where you can meet the IDS staff and classmates in an informal environment.

Orientation Week for the new incoming students in the academic year 2012/2013 will be September 17- 23.  Monday, September 17, will be a mandatory matriculation of students who have met all the requirements for admission. If you have questions, please contact the Program Coordinator.

During the orientation week there are introductory classes about Czech history and elementary Czech. These classes are offered primarily for two reasons. First, a student will better understand recent development in the Czech Republic after being introduced to its history. Second, every student living in a foreign country will at some point need to ask directions, order food or simply say hello. The language classes will introduce the student to the Czech language and ease the transition into Prague life through basic phrases. Every student will receive exact dates and orientation week’s program before the start of a semester.
