Academic year:  

•  is divided into trimesters  

• during each trimester the study progress will be carefully monitored, at the end of each trimester there will be language exam and exam or credit in academic subjects

• teaching is in English and is adapted to the students' level of language proficiency at each stage of the academic year

• the required entry level of English for students is at least B2

• the study programme includes Czech lessons, which are conducted in an interactive and practical way and enable students to communicate in everyday situations in the Czech environment

You will receive some of the lessons, teaching materials and study information from us solely in electronic form. Therefore, you will need a laptop or tablet with a keyboard (not just a phone!) to study succesfully in the preparatory course and also for your future studies at universities in the Czech Republic. You will also need headphones, a microphone and a webcam (either all built-in or connected externally).

You will need a laptop for the entire academic year, as part of your studies (homework, asynchronous learning, communication with teachers and administration, webinars, etc.) will take place on the Microsoft Teams platform. The laptop can also be purchased after arrival in the Czech Republic, for example online in an e-shop (e.g. Alza.cz).

The hardware requirements to run MS Teams on a computer (Windows for MS or Mac) are quite modest. A regular "office setup" on your computer will be enough. Of course, the more powerful the computer, the better the quality of the online lessons. Please also check if your PC cable needs an adapter for EU sockets.

 Before the classes start, watch the tutorial video on Microsoft Teams.

Each student must log in to the university system (CAS) and MS Teams before starting their studies. Each student will receive an email with their individual log in details and instructions how to proceed.
