Founded in 1348 by King Charles IV of Bohemia, Charles University is the oldest university in Central Europe. Today it is the largest Czech university with 17 faculties spread across Prague, Plzeň, and Hradec Králové, serving approximately 55,000 students. The university maintains a strong international presence: roughly one in five students comes from abroad. Charles University is ranked 273rd globally in QS 2027 and consistently appears among Europe's top 100 universities.

The university excels particularly in medicine, natural sciences, humanities, and law. Research is a defining strength—the institution participates in prestigious European initiatives including the 4EU+ Alliance and has received the HR Excellence in Research Award two years running. The Faculty of Arts is especially strong in Russian studies, offering specialized programs on Russia and the post-Soviet region taught in Russian and English by scholars with deep expertise. Research output from the university regularly appears in high-impact journals and is frequently cited in leading academic fields.

International applicants can pursue bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree programmes taught in English, plus specialized Russian-language programs. The university offers over 900 accredited study programmes. English language proficiency must be demonstrated (usually through standardized tests such as TOEFL or IELTS); specific requirements vary by faculty and programme and should be verified directly with the target faculty. The university is centrally located in Prague's historic old town with strong student support infrastructure, including dormitories and cultural facilities.

Need the language to apply?

Almost everywhere the language is checked before admission, not after. We prepare for the exams admissions offices actually ask for.

Common questions about admission

Why apply through UNIPROFI specifically?

UNIPROFI is about a well-thought-out application and a strong outcome: we build an application path around your profile, goals and the requirements of your selected universities. You work with mentors who are current students or graduates of these schools, so you get real understanding of the system, campuses and opportunities — not theory. We take on complex cases (including minors and admission without an 11th-grade diploma), build an individual strategy for your profile and goals, and support you through every stage, from documents to your visa.

Do you guarantee admission?

We don't offer "guarantees for the sake of a sale," because no one can directly influence a university's decision. What we do is structure everything to minimize the risk of rejection: matching you to the right universities, building a strong application strategy and preparing documents carefully. If you complete the whole process under your plan and are not admitted to any of the universities we applied to, the service agreement lets you choose: a refund minus costs already incurred (university fees, translations, courier) or a free re-application for the next intake.

What are my actual chances of getting in?

We do not state a universal admission probability because the decision belongs to the university. We instead assess your profile, programme requirements and application strategy.

Can I apply on my own — why do I need you?

You can, but most students end up losing time, making mistakes, or settling for weaker universities. We save you months, help you start at a stronger level, and prevent the mistakes that can cost you admission.
