COURSES IN ENGLISH
Courses taught in English can be found in the course catalogue.
How to work with the course catalogue?
Set the filters - choose the term you want to browse the courses for and the teaching language.
You can also choose the faculty and/or specific department or search courses by its title.
Pay attention to the type of studies - B = Bachelor studies, M = long Master studies (5 years), N = Master studies, D = PhD studies
If you want to take a course that is initially designed for a higher study level (for example - you are a Bachelor's student but you are interested in a Master's course), note it might require knowledge that you do not possess yet and be too difficult for you. For detailed information, don't hesitate to get in touch with the teacher of a particular course or your departmental coordinator.
Extent and Intensity of Courses
You can see three numbers for course intensity. The first is the number of hours for lectures, the second is for class exercises/seminars and the last one stands for other types of teaching methods such as labs, etc.
- Example: 2/0/0 (lectures 2, class exercises 0, select another 0)
According to the number of credits gained, you can find two numbers. The first number is the number of credits gained by completion, and the second is the number of possible extra credits.
- Example: 1+1 (plus extra credits for completion). This means the student can gain a specific amount of extra credits if he/she completes the course with a colloquium/examination or any other type of completion.
For detailed information, please get in touch with the teacher of a particular course or your departmental coordinator.

Recommendation
Contact the department coordinator before choosing courses. At some departments, it may be possible that you can enrol even courses taught in the Czech language and complete them in English.
Department Coordinators
PLEASE NOTE: If you choose courses from a different department than you were nominated for, your departmental coordinator, may approve your LA, but they cannot guarantee that those courses will be taught.
