Higher Education System in Czech Republic
The fundaments of Czech higher education date back to six hundred years ago. In 1348 Emperor Charles IV founded a university in Prague which became the oldest academic institution in Central Europe. It is now called the Charles University.
Since 2001 the three-cycle structure has strictly been implemented in the higher education system (i.e. Bachelor's, Master's and Doctoral study programmes). The central governing body for education is the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports. The main tuition language is Czech, however the range of programmes delivered in foreign languages (mainly in English) is expanding in particular to cater for international students. The academic year is divided in two semesters or terms. These are generally organised as follows:
- Winter semster (mid-September – mid-December)
- Summer semster (January – mid-February)
Higher education institutions offer accredited degree programmes at three levels: Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral, as well as lifelong learning courses.
- Bachelor's Degree Programs are 3-4 years in duration and constitute the first level of higher education.
- Master's Degree Programs may either follow on from Bachelor's programmes as follow-up Master's programmes (1 to 3 years), or they may be full programmes (4 to 6 years)
