*Proof of Czech language proficiency:

Requirements of the Czech language proficiency vary between different universities so they require different documents to confirm the language skills. After you choose a university you will be provided with particular requirements. Many universities do not ask any paper confirmation of Czech language knowledge as long as one successfully passes entrance examination, thus, it is possible to study language at home. However, if a university requires the certificate of Carlow University or to pass its internal examination then one will have to travel to Czech Republic for that. Usually it is the case for Prague universities. The cost of the Carlow University certificate of language proficiency is 3 500 CZK. You can pass it in Prague, Moscow or Kiev.
