Why Masaryk University

“Studying at Masaryk University is a challenge that is sure to lead to an unforgettable experience.” Dalibor Jenne, MU student

Masaryk University (MU), located in Brno, was established in 1919, and with its nine faculties and almost 44 000 students is currently the second largest Czech university. The major aim of MU is to conduct education and research at the highest international level of excellence.

Noted for its dynamic development, MU offers degrees in a wide range of both traditional and newly-emerging disciplines, and provides outstanding facilities for study and work at its newly-built campus as well as in its recently reconstructed historical buildings in the city centre. The degree programmes are open to applicants seeking for profound academic training and good facilities for study and scientific work. Variety of Master's and Doctoral degree programmes are offered in English and other world languages. In addition, a preparatory year before admission to MU with Czech language intensive courses can prepare you for studying in the Czech language in over 1200 study fields. The education for students enrolled in degree programmes held in the Czech language (at all levels from Bachelor through Master’s to doctoral degree programmes) is tuition free.

The university has attained a leading position in teaching and the organization of studies as well as the use of advanced information technologies. In recent years it has consistently attracted record numbers of applicants for studies and has come to be recognized as one of the major Central European universities.

One of the top priorities of Masaryk University is research. Its scientists and scholars have gained wide international recognition in the areas of the natural sciences, medicine and information technologies as well as in the humanities and social sciences, law and economics.

MU, however, also lays strong emphasis on the quality of teaching and student services. The fact that the university has been awarded two European quality labels – the ECTS label and the DS label - in the past two years, provides evidence that MU meets the standards that are required of the best European higher education institutions.

International Cooperation

Masaryk University places a strong accent on international cooperation: Throughout the recent decades it has established solid and stable links with a number of prestigious foreign universities and research institutions. The university is also a member of many important international associations and networks.

Another success of MU in the international field is its involvement in the European mobility programmes (e.g. Erasmus LLP, Erasmus Mundus etc.) as well as in various exchange programmes with Asia, Australia, and the Americas. Besides the Erasmus agreements, MU has connections with a large number of institutions around the world, which enables its students to select from a wide variety of mobility options throughout the course of their studies.

Student life

MU and its International Student Club (ISC) provide a comfortable environment for international students to study and live in. The ISC provides plenty of opportunities for students' social activities, while the university offers numerous study and leisure facilities, such as several sports grounds and premises, libraries, computer centres (some open 24/7), etc.
