Cancellation Due to Insufficient Enrollment:
ARCHIP reserves the right to cancel the Summer Program due to insufficient enrollment. In the case of cancellation due to insufficient enrollment, ALL FEES (including the application deposit) will be returned.
FACILITIES
ARCHIP’s studio will be based in the Kartographie Gallery, in the historic Holesovice neighborhood, just across the Vltava River from historic Old Town Prague and an easily accessible distance from the Workshop site. Participants will have studio access and a personal workspace in an open studio setting. There is Wi-Fi available to students with their own laptops, and school computers for internet access and general use.
ACCOMMODATIONS
Participants will be housed in modern, furnished, shared apartments, located in relation to the studio. Typically, there will be multiple beds (more than 2) per room and shared bathrooms. The rooms will be simple and practically furnished. If individual participants would prefer private or double rooms, as opposed to dormitory-style, this can be arranged for an additional fee, and would pay the difference, in addition to basic housing fee.
RECIPROCITY OF CREDITS
ARCHIP will award three (3) academic credits for full, successful participation in the Workshop. ARCHIP’s Bachelor Degree in Architecture Program is accredited by the Czech Ministry of Education. A degree granted is recognized by all other accredited Schools of Architecture in other EU nations. Visiting foreign students are urged to verify with their home institution that credits received will apply towards their degree program. At the end of the Summer Program, ARCHIP will issue an official transcript verifying each student’s participation.
VISAS
Foreign nationals applying to study in Czech must contact the Czech embassy in their home country to obtain up-to-date information on the visa requirements for study purposes. Czech is a member of the European Union (EU). Citizens of the EU, the European Economic Area (EEA) and of Switzerland do not require visas.
HEALTH CARE
Personal health or travel insurance is not included in the Program Cost, and students must show proof of health insurance to obtain a student visa. Many private health-care providers speak English, and English-speaking medical facilities, such as the Canadian Medical Centre (www.cmcpraha.com) are available for more serious conditions.
