“Just today I was walking home from work and I was texting with a friend I met at UJOP. We've been texting and seeing each other, and we've become very good friends. She may actually be one of my best friends. The year at UJOP was really great, the amazing experiences, the cultural events and trips that UJOP offers. Czech is a very difficult language. People usually think that because it's a Slavic language it will be super easy for us Slavs but for me it was exactly the opposite, without a good course and a good teacher, I'm sure you can't make it.."

"When I moved to Europe I met a nice lady who helped foreigners find their way around and settle in. I decided that one day I would help people too.

My teacher from UJOP Charles University, Zdena Malá, told me that there is a Masters degree in Social Work at the Hussite Theological Faculty, where I enrolled with her help.

I studied at UJOP for a year and worked on my essay for two months and it paid off, I was admitted to Charles University. I am happy that my dream can come true and I will be able to help people."

“I took a programme in Poděbrady to prepare for my field which was psychology. Studying there gave me a strong foundation in Czech, thanks to which I was subsequently able to start studying psychology at university in Czech. Even though it has been a lot of years since my studies, I still try to keep my Czech language skills fresh in my mind and I can’t forget the nice times in Poděbrady. Every day there was rich and full of amazing experiences, I spend the best years of my youth there. 

From my experience, UJOP is an institution that welcomes students with open arms. When I first came to Czechia, the people at UJOP welcomed me in such a way that I felt like I was among friends. They did everything for us, they took care of everything on our behalf. We didn't have to worry about anything. The students themselves really just have to come and study. UJOP will also arrange your residence permit, university applications, dormitory applications... Even the study itself and the relationships with the teachers were great. At UJOP there are helpful and friendly people who give their 100%."
