What is a Foundation Programme?
A Foundation Programme helps bridge the gap between a student’s current education and the academic, language and practical expectations of higher education in the Czech Republic.
At ISN Prague, preparation is built around the intended subject, language pathway, academic background and admissions requirements of suitable Czech universities. It is preparation for applying and succeeding—not a guarantee of admission.
