Studies in the Czech language

The number of students studying at Masaryk University (MU) has been steadily increasing. The aim is to open the university to the talented young scholars from abroad, mainly from the neighbouring countries. Therefore, MU arranged a new system of care for international students which offers favourable conditions for international students studying in Czech language:

Masaryk University offers excellent conditions for studies to all its students; moreover, it connects education to science and research. It enables further progress for young scholars in top-class and fully equipped workrooms and laboratories. The education for students enrolled in degree programmes held in Czech language (at all levels from Bachelor through Master’s to doctoral degree programmes) is free.
